When I entered Berkeley. I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could   36 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he   37  in class.
When I took the first exam, I was   38  to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper,   39  English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained   40 .
I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that   41  because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I   42  with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his   43 .
One more test before the final exam. One more   44  to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time,   45  the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my   46  did no good and everything   47  as before.
The last hurdle(障礙)was the final. No matter what   48  I got, it wouldn’t cancel C-pluses. I might as well kiss the   49  goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even   50  myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have   51  with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He   52  to be expecting me. “If I gave you the A-pluses you   53 , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him,   54  that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head   55 , as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

解析試題分析:
【小題1】學習一門課程,修一門課程,習慣上都用take,如take a course/ class/ lesson,當然也可以take a suject。
【小題2】這里涉及的也是對于詞本身的搭配,老師在課堂上所表達的觀點思想,用present ideas。以老師做主語,動詞用seek尋求,exchange交換,obtain獲得,都不符合這里的含義。
【小題3】第一段講我對自己信心滿滿,可第二段來個大轉(zhuǎn)折,第一次考試后,意外地發(fā)現(xiàn)竟然只得了77分,所以是shocked非常吃驚,而worried擔心,scared害怕,anxious焦急,都不符合人物心理感受。
【小題4】. 由于3和4兩個空是在一個句子內(nèi)的,所以必須連起來看,尤其這里考察的是連詞問題,更要注意觀察前后兩個句子的邏輯關系,很容易發(fā)現(xiàn),我之所以十分吃驚自己的成績這么出乎意料的差,是因為我本身英語成績是很好的,這里for表由于。
【小題5】我去找老師,有一番理論,不過老師的表現(xiàn)是,聽完我的話,之后仍然... 這里,unchanged是不改變,注意,主語是老師,老師自己當然不會改變了,難道你指望他是變形金剛或是超人嗎?還是個主語的問題,如果主語改為成績,或許可以成立吧。應該是他不為所動,unmoved不被打動。所以我們可以知道,了解詞本身的內(nèi)在屬性,多么重要,用漢語的意思去直接套用理解,而不考慮英語詞本身的用法性質(zhì),是不行的。
【小題6】本句重在理解句子內(nèi)部的邏輯和含義,明白了就比較容易。我并不知道刻苦學習意味著什么,因為一直以來學習對我而言是很容易的。
【小題7】我再次遭遇77分,于是再次,去找老師,quarrel吵架?reason找原因?bargain討價還價?chat閑聊?打分數(shù)又不是買菜,難道老師說給你個77分,你說給個95吧,老師說那82吧,你說90吧,老師說86成交,可能嗎?雖然我不很理解為什么總得低分,但我的態(tài)度還不至于太惡劣或無賴,所以reason可以猜到應該是態(tài)度應該是比較溫和理性的。reason with sb. 與某人講道理,說服某人。
【小題8】老師聽完之后,再次無動于衷,他沒有改變他的... attitude態(tài)度?mind想法?plan計劃?view觀點。這里,attitude迷惑性最大,注意,這里探討的還是分數(shù)能不能更改的事,而change one's mind是英語中一個比較常見的搭配,意為“改變一個人的想法或決定”,相對于態(tài)度,改分數(shù)的事更多是關于改變決定的。
【小題9】本段前兩句是同一個句式的重復,再考一次,也就意味著再一次提高分數(shù)的機會,其他選項比較不著邊際。
【小題10】. 這一次,我顯然是拼了老命了,那么是真的第一次learn了解到啥叫“徹底”了,而不是accept接受。learn是個老詞,作為了解的含義,很常見。
【小題11】. 但是這次還是沒啥效果,當然是my effort did no good,努力貌似比較白費。
【小題12】. 11和12照例要連在一起看。努力都白瞎了,當然一切還跟原來一樣了,言下之意,該77還77,八成是覺得這老師跟我有仇是吧。注意,如果是everything stayed the same as before,可以用半系動詞stay,因為有stay the same 這個固定搭配。我在這里就是沒仔細看,以為是填stay。仔細看,其實沒有the same,只是要求填個單獨的不及物動詞,而我們常說everything goes well,一切都很順利,這里是一切都像從前一樣,用go就很合理了,足夠了。
【小題13】. 這回徹底郁悶了,我想,無論得個啥分數(shù),都無法挽回了。grade表示分數(shù),是個初中的知識。
【小題14】 might as well do sth. 還是做某事的好,不是心甘情愿的最好選擇,是無奈之選。新概念二冊第19課, “I might as well have them,” I said sadly.“我還是買下這兩張票的好,”我垂頭喪氣地說。kiss sth. goodbye,跟某事說拜拜,意思是...沒指望了。scholarship獎學金?course課程?degree學位?subject科目?我一直費這么大勁,計較的還不是獎學金嗎?我想,這么著估計是得提前跟獎學金說拜拜了。
【小題15】. 固定搭配,treat sb. to + 飯/娛樂活動,請某人吃飯娛樂等。I even treated myself to a movie,考前很放松,自己掏錢去看電影。
【小題16】. 考察心態(tài),發(fā)現(xiàn)這時我是很放松的,甚至考試的時候,決定把考試當作一種fun樂趣,而與luck運氣,trick把戲技巧,沒有關系。
【小題17】一周后,驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己居然得了A,跑去找老師,發(fā)現(xiàn)老師... 在等我。happen to碰巧意外?prove to證明?pretend to假裝?seem to好象似乎?老師好象早料到我會來,所以在等。
【小題18】老師說,如果我原來給了你所期望的成績A,那么你就不會這么努力付出了。所以是expect期待期望,其他的都不通。
【小題19】我看著他,這時才真正明白了他的用心。realize意識到,還有notice注意到,都是完形必考詞,出現(xiàn)幾率和選中幾率都很高。
【小題20】.D 介詞辨析。這里指我出去的時候非常開心。
考點:考查教育類完型
點評:本文介紹了我在學習過程中的學習方式的改變,從學習中得到了樂趣和快樂。答題前一定要讀懂全文,弄清文章要表達的思想,注意前后段落之間的關系。答題中,一定要認真分析,注意選項與上下文的關系,與前后單詞的關系。對于一時沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成,因為有時答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來。答完后再通讀一篇文章,看看所選選項能不能是語句通順,語意連貫。

閱讀下面短文,從每小題所給的四個選項中,選出一個最佳答案。

  After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.

  During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had mus-cular dystrophy (肌肉萎縮癥) , When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dream.

  I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was differ-ent. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.

  When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and over-coming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you. ”

  Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before

  Dear Rick ,

  My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. 1 also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that 1 don ‘t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as 1 can.

  I told you someday 1 was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know 1 ‘m a champion , and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven , God will give me my medal and when you get there , I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Your friend ,
