【解析】

1.答案 A [句意:由于一直是個優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生,我相信我能夠?qū)W習(xí)難學(xué)的課程并且真正學(xué)習(xí)到知識。表示“學(xué)習(xí)……課程”用take...subjects。]

2.2答案 B [本句中表示老師授課時表達(dá)出來的思想,應(yīng)該用present,表示“呈現(xiàn),展示”。]

3.3答案 A [與上文的Having been a Straight?A student,I believed...形成對比,當(dāng)知道自己得了77分時,作者無疑是“震驚的”。]

4.4答案 C [該句是下句I went to Professor Jayne的原因,故用for,表示原因。]

5.5答案 D [與下文中的...but wouldn't change his __8__相對應(yīng),本句中應(yīng)表示Jayne教授并沒有被打動,故用unmoved。unchanged不改變;unpleasant不愉快的;unfriendly不友好的;unmoved冷漠的,不被打動的。]

6.6答案 B [mean在此表示“意味著”。]

7.7答案 B [當(dāng)又得了一個77分時,“我”去與Jayne教授評理,表示“評理”用reason。quarrel爭吵,用在學(xué)生與老師之間明顯不妥;bargain討價還價,與語境不符;chat聊天,自己在生氣的情況下不可能去與老師“閑聊”。]

8.8答案 B [change表示“改變”。雖然“我”去與教授評理,但他并沒有改變“主意”。故空格處須用mind。]

9.9答案 C [在沒法說動教授的情況下,“我”所能做的只有盡全力提高成績,因而每一次考試都是“我”提高自己成績的“機(jī)會”。故應(yīng)使用chance。]

10.0答案 D [由于自己竭盡全力學(xué)習(xí),“我”領(lǐng)悟到了“一絲不茍”的含義,表示“領(lǐng)悟”用learn。]

11.1答案 C [but一詞對于本段中描述的情形進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)折,也就是說,雖然自己付出了巨大的努力,但是考試成績并沒有改進(jìn),故應(yīng)使用effort,表示“努力”。]

12.2答案 B [as before表示“像以前一樣”。由11題解析可知,該空格處用go。]

13.3答案 A [最后的障礙是期末考試,而由于整個學(xué)期我的成績一直是在C等,所以無論期末考試我得到什么等級,我的三個C等成績也不會取消,所以應(yīng)選擇grade,表示“等級”。]

14.4答案 A [既然成績是C等,那么也就與獎學(xué)金無緣了,故應(yīng)選擇A項。]

15.5答案 C [在對獎學(xué)金不抱什么希望且對所學(xué)的知識已經(jīng)掌握很好的情況下,“我”在考試前去看了場電影,這里的看電影實際上是在“獎勵”自己,故用treat,表示“款待”。]

16.6答案 A [for once表示“就此一次”。因為自己屢受挫折,故而自己決定這次考試不再“鄭重對待”,故用have fun with。]

17.7答案 D [由于有了前幾次自己去與Jayne教授的評理,故而出了成績后,教授似乎在等著“我”再去見他,也就是教授覺得“我”會再去找他。]

18.8答案 C [句意:如果我給了你所希望的A等,你就不會繼續(xù)那樣努力學(xué)習(xí)了。value重視;imagine想象;expect期望;welcome歡迎。故C項正確。]

19.9答案 D [Jayne教授說明了給“我”C等的理由,“我”也意識到了他的分析和策略是正確的,表示“意識到”用realize。]

20.20答案 D [work one's head off表示“拼命工作,拼命學(xué)習(xí)”,是固定搭配。]
