　　My Teacher in the School of Life

　　I spent the opening day of school this year at DeMatha Catholic High School in much the same way I spent the first day of classes exactly 30 years ago: I sat in Dr Charles E. Offutt’s British literature class, listening to him __1__ what his seniors would learn and get them excited about the journey they would take. I’m the principal(校长) of the school now, but for a few minutes I was back in 1975, __2__ what the future held.

　　I have been learning from Dr Offutt for 30 of the 51 years he has been teaching at DeMatha. He not only taught me to think, he __3__ me, as much by example as words, that it was my moral duty to do so and to serve others.

　　Neither of us could know how our __4__ would develop over the years. When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr Offutt, then the department chair. After several years, I was __5__ department chair, and our relationship changed again. I thought that it might be __6__chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr Offutt __7__ me throughout. He knew when to give me __8__ about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me design my own course.

　　In 1997, I needed his advice about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. Instead, he encouraged me to seize the new __9__ .

　　Five years ago, I became the principal of DeMatha. Once again, Dr Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could__10__ on him as I tried to fill such big shoes. I’ve learned from him that great teachers have a(an) __11__ wealth of lessons to teach. Even if his students don’t know it yet, I know how __12__ they are; I’m still one of them.

　　I stood by and watched her and her mother busily decorating her college dorm(宿舍). Everything was in place, with boxes under the bed and photos of her dearest friends on the wall. I closely monitored that this time things were

　　__37__ . I began to accept that her room at home is no longer hers. It is now ours, our room for her when she visits.

　　I __38__ myself thinking of when I held her in my arms sitting in a chair by my wife’s hospital __39__ . One day old. So small, so beautiful, so perfect, so totally reliant on her new parents. My wife changed from the day I drove this little baby home from the __40__ . I saw myself differently that day, too.

　　The last few days __41__ she left for college, I touched her arm, her face—anything, __42__ that when my wife and I returned home, she would not be with us and there would be nothing to touch. I had so much to say, but no words with which to say it.

　　Suddenly she looked up, __43__ me staring at her, which caused her to say to her mother, “Mom. Dad’s looking at me funny.” She then said, “It’ll be fine, Dad. I’ll be home from school soon.” I told her she would have a __44__ year. But I said little else. I was __45__ that I would say something too small for what I was feeling, so I only held on to our goodbye hug a little longer, a little tighter.

　　My wife’s eyes followed her as she left us. Mine did not. I __46__ she hadn’t gone. I knew that the life she was going towards was exciting and wonderful. I remembered what the world looked like to me when everything was __47__

　　专限时训练(十三)

　　(一)

　　作者从一所学校的普通学生成长为该校的老师，后来又接任校长职务，期间一直得到一个人的帮助，作者为拥有这样的良师而感到庆幸。

　　1．A　当时Dr Offutt是作者的老师，所以应向学生“解释”他们将要学习的内容。speak表示说话的内容时是不及物动词，teach用在此处丝毫没有意义。

　　2．C　根据but一词可推测作者现在虽然身为校长，可当年并不知未来如何。

　　3．D　他不仅教育作者思考，而且以大量事例让作者“信服”。根据本句中的as much by example可知是举例让作者相信他的话。

　　4．A　根据下文的our relationship changed可判断此项正确。后三项分别表示“职位”、“形势”、“条件；状况”，在文中都没有信息支持。

　　5．B　几年后，作者被“任命”为系主任，此处name是动词，表示 “任命；提名”。A项表示 “指出”，应改为appointed。

　　6．D　本句中间部分提到作者以前的英语老师仍然在此处工作，所以作者认为管理这个系的工作极具“挑战”性。

　　7．C　根据but一词可知Dr Offutt自始至终“支持”作者。下一句提供了暗示。

　　8．A　上文提到作者很茫然，不知所措，由此可知他给作者提供“建议”。此处，根据后面give宾语的内容也可以判断此项正确。

　　9．B　 本段第一句提到作者即将出任另一所学校的校长，由此可知这是一次“机会”。根据本句的前一句可知作者并没有决定去担当此任，所以A项不正确；C项表示 “占据；占有；职业”，与语义不符。

　　10．C　上文提到作者遇到困难时他总是提供帮助和支持，由此可判断此项正确。下—句也是暗示。

　　11．D　 伟大的老师有“取之不尽的”课程资源财富。A、C两项有一定的干扰牲，但不能很好地与great相搭配。

　　12．A　 作者认为学生拥有良师无比“幸运”，因为作者对Dr Offutt这样的优秀老师永远铭记在心。

　　(二)

　　Bobby Moresco出身普通工人家庭，他想摆脱当建筑工人或警察的命运，希望能成为演员，并克服了种种困难为之奋斗了数十年，最后终于成了一位著名的剧作家。

　　13．D　 Bobby从少年时期就开始演戏，但如同后来所知，他的演艺生涯一直不成功，因此此处可填good表示“不是一个好演员”。

　　14．A　虽然不是一个好的演员．他还是希望能改变自己的人生，“做一些使生活变得不同的事情”。

　　15．C　为了实现自己的夙愿，他去了好莱坞碰运气，“碰运气”可使用meet(find)one’s fortune表示，故此空选择fortune。

　　16．D　因为太想当一名演员，所以他自愿在自己开办的一个表演单位做出租司机和服务员的工作。

　　17．B　根据上下文的意思可知尽管他目前做的工作很辛苦，但他仍然执著于自己选择的事业，chosen符合句意。afford“给予，提供”，respect“尊敬”，offer“提供”，均与句意不符。

　　18．D　这里的意思是他写了一部与他自己生活有关的戏剧，“与……有关”可使用be related to表示，因此此处选择related。

　　19．C　上文已经谈到他的兄弟被谋杀．此处选择killing即指此事。

　　20．D　这里是指他渐渐有了名气。reputation意思是“名气，名望”，为最佳选项。influence“影响”，ambition“雄心”及success“成功”均不符合意。

　　21．B　正在他穷困潦倒时，他接到了一个导演的电话。when可表示“正当这时”。

　　22．A　尽管剧本被一次次驳回，但他对自己的作品有着强烈的信心，选择strongly可反映他坚强的意志力。

　　23．B　由于在此之前一直没有人赏识，因此他的电影是“悄悄地”被放映的，同时根据后面的quietly的排比手法也可选出答案。

　　24．C　这里是指他一举成名，“一举成名”可用 an overnight success来表示。

　　(三)

　　初为人师却遇到了棘手的问。在上课过程中有人到教室声称学生将苹果扔到了他的车上，然而自己得体的处理办法赢得了学生的尊重。

　　25．B　 从下文的“教室在二楼“可以知道，此处的building就是有“教室”的那一座。

　　26．D　

　　从下文可以看出，这个教室不象教室，只是个普通房间，但牌子上的内容是“教室”。

　　27．C　常识考查，牌子应该挂在门口那个位置。

　　28．A　

　　与上句呼应，说明老师与学生年龄差距不大，有时候学生的长相和行为显得比老师都要成熟。

　　29．D　

　　此处“put…on”表示“写在……上”。

　　30．C　

　　这是根据事件发生的情形推断出来的答案，苹果吃了一半后扔出去了，其他选项意义上都不通。

　　31．A　

　　这种“生气”的心情是很自然的，因为把苹果扔到了车上。

　　32．C　 A项的hit为及物动词，后不用介词；B项指某人或者某物自然地“倒下”或者“落下”。D项意义不通。

　　33．B　

　　固定用法，此处的意思是“对着某人说话”，不是“与某人交谈(talk to)”。

　　34．D　

　　此处的want意思是“要找到……”。

　　35．C　

　　此的“be gone”＝ disappear，意思是“消失了”。

　　36．D　本句说的是与平时相比的反常现象，“没有一个人动”。

　　(四)

　　女儿上大学了，看着女儿跟她的母亲一起细心地整理自己的寝室，父亲不由得想起了许多往事，从初为人父的喜悦到送女儿上大学的酸楚，心中久久不能平静。但女儿面对的是灿烂的未来，心中虽有不舍，但也得主动适应新生活的变化。

　　37．D　因为女儿要第一次离开家独自去大学生活，父亲感觉到情况跟以前不一样了。

　　38．C　

　　I find myself doing…是一个常见句型，意思是“我情不自禁……”，其他动词均无此用法。

　　39．D　因为妻子是在医院生下女儿的，因此“我”是坐在妻子的床边。

　　40．B　上文已经提到妻子是在医院里生下女儿的，因此这里是指作者开车从医院接妻儿回家。

　　41．A　根据后面的意思，这里是指女儿离家上大学前，作者非常留恋地抚摸女儿。

　　42．C　因为知道女儿离开家了，以后想爱抚都没有爱抚的对象了，根据意思应该选择knowing“知道”。

　　43．B　这里意思是女儿突然抬起头，正好“逮着”父亲正呆呆地看着她。catch sb. doing sth.“逮着某人正在做某事”。

　　44．D　“我”告诉女儿她会度过灿烂的一年的。这里只有选择great才能形容度过一个灿烂或精彩的一年。whole没有任何感情色彩，comfortable“舒适的”，含义太清、太淡；difficult又不符合作者的本意。

　　45．B　除了祝福女儿外，“我”没有说其他什么话，因为“我”害怕会说一些自己感情不能控制的东西。根据意思这里应该选择afraid“害怕”。

　　46．A　 因为心中有太多的不舍，“我”没有目送女儿远走，“我”想象她还没走开。这里使用imagined是表示女儿没走开只是一种想象。thought意思为“认为”；guessed意思是“猜测”，含义不对，expected意思是“期待，估计”，也不符合本意。

　　47．C　这里是指作者又回忆起当时自己面对新生活时的模样，借此表示女儿将要面对的新生活。

　　48．A　在回家的路上，作者感觉到自己的生活又将有一个新的变化。
