完型填空(共20小題:每小題1.5分,滿分30分)
The last day of the final examination arrived. In a large eastern university, on the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few
26. On their faces was confidence. This was their
27 exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they
28 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt
29 and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)
30 task, as the professor had said they could bring
31books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not
32 each other during the test.
33 they entered the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. And smiles
34 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed
35 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the
36 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?”
37 a hand was raised. “How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished
38 .”But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I
39 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are
40 many things about the
41 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in
42 practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all
43 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just
44 .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the
45 he taught.
