36. A。前一句話的意思是：我是八年前最后見到這個人，后一句話的意思是我忘不了，由意思可知兩句間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選although（雖然）。
37. B。special強(qiáng)調(diào)與眾不同的，particular強(qiáng)調(diào)同類事物中的不同屬性，由緊接著的內(nèi)容知文章主要講的是他的與眾不同之處。
38. D。下文主要講的是他的敬業(yè)精神以及為教育做出的貢獻(xiàn)，devotion to something “對……貢獻(xiàn)……”，與下文相通。
39. C。believe in“相信”；insist on doing“堅持……”；talk about“談?wù)摗�；agree with“同意”，由他能夠解釋自己的觀點，并能用各種方式證明，這就說明他能證明自己的觀點，相信自己的觀點是有道理的，由此選到C，agree with用于別人就同意自己的觀點，排除。
40. A。由下文知，他利用油畫、音樂、演講等形象的事物來解釋他抽象的觀點，可見他的解釋方式很豐富多彩，imaginative“富有想象力的”；ordinary“一般的”；opposite“相反的”；open“公開的”，A項與語境最符合。
41. B。他唱歌的目的是闡明觀點，同樣利用那些輔助的事物（油畫、音樂……）也是為了闡明觀點，幫助學(xué)生理解。
42. C。前面講的輔助事物是外界的，唱歌是自身的才藝，方式更進(jìn)一步，所以用even。
43. B。secondly“其次”,承接上文的firstly和下文的finally。
44. D。on the telephone="by" telephone通過電話。
45. A。由上下文可知這里主要講的是他和學(xué)生打成一片，invite somebody to a game of chess“邀某人下棋”符合語境。
46. C。as a matter of face“實際”，later on“隨后”，other times“其他的時間”，in general“大體；一般”，這里列舉的是他和學(xué)生打成一片的另一個例子，用other times合語境。
47. B。根據(jù)冒號后解釋的內(nèi)容agriculture, diving and mathematics可知這里只提到了他們談?wù)摰闹黝}，所以選subject（題目，主題）。
48. D。選項中只有advice說得通，…for advice on their studies“求教一些學(xué)習(xí)的建議”。
49. C。文章先講了敬佩他的敬業(yè)精神，再講敬佩他嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)慕虒W(xué)態(tài)度，這里是講被他的詼諧的幽默所吸引。
