　　[答案及解析]

　　这是一篇故事性记叙文，描写的对象是自己的老师，结合了作者自己本身的学习经验。文章重点在于介绍老师的特点以及她对自己的影响，设空和选项以名词为主。阅读的时候要注意首句的点题作用，要抓住文章的关键词inspire，这是贯穿始终的主题。

　　1、B

　　注意其后的定语从句，先行词应该是foundation（基础）。为学生创造学术研究和工作的基础。

　　2、A

　　of all time的意思是“有史以来，一直都是，永远是”。

　　3、C

　　这里要注意英语中的特殊的表达方式。nothing less than的意思是“简直是，绝对是”。这一句可以理解为，老师接受的就是优秀的表现。

　　4、C

　　由后句we often prove ourselves able to deal with defficult problems可推知答案，有挑战才有prove，difficult problems也指向challenge。这里比较难以排除的是help，help students是几乎每个老师都在做的事情，不能准确体现作者老师的特点。而且，challenge与inspire这一主题一致。

　　5、B

　　由前文appreciate the written works中的appreciate以及后文的lively等词能推导出pleasure。如果我们尝试着从整体考虑文章，我们可以知道这篇文章的主题是inspire。pleasure，challenge，despite the difficult language等实词均是为inspire服务的。

　　6、A

　　常识告诉我们，high school students在阅读莎士比亚、狄更斯、荷马的原著的时候会有语言障碍。

　　7、B

　　bring someone or something to life的意思是to reactivate someone or something，使苏醒，重新充满活力，或者可以理解为to make something exciting and interesting。

　　8、D

　　其实这一题是最难判断的，A是可以忍受的，endure是“忍受”的意思，而后缀-able表示“可……的”，B是“漫长的”，C是“隐藏的”，D是“明显的”。首先排除C，老师没有隐藏自己的热爱。A也可以排除，我们是喜欢老师的教学风格 的，B是“漫长的”，“漫长”一词和文章不搭。那么选择D，老师对散文和诗歌的明显热爱感染和激发了学生。

　　9、A

　　确定选项的时候我们可以试着把句子简单化，去掉状语as much as I could这句可以简化为I was learning about a wide range of topics。

　　10、C

　　这题其实是考查do it，do so，do this以及do that的区别。do so主要用来表示同一主语所做的前面刚提到过的同一动作，指Brenda Neal opened my mind and soul to the classics。还有，当do本身以不定式、现在分词和动名词等形式出现时，其后代词一律是so，此题应该为in doing so。
