解析:

36.解析:根据其定语of Harvard’s president可判断出走进了Harvard大学校长的办公室。

37.解析:从下文kept waiting可以看出,他们被秘书拦住了。follow跟随;interview采访。

38.解析:hope希望。秘书不理睬他们的目的是希望他们离开。realize认识到;imagine想像。

39.解析:disappointed失望。从下文go away可知,秘书希望他们失望而离开。

40.解析:unwillingly不情愿地。上文“the secretary took no notice of them”和“go away”说明秘书很不情愿地把这件事报告给校长。

41.解析:with a cold face冰冷的面孔。上文“without an appointment”说明这一对夫妇是在没有预约的情况下要求见校长的,这引起了校长的不快。

42.解析:attend上(学,课)。在Harvard大学上了一年的课。study是不及物动词,在Harvard前要加at。

43.解析:上文的“He loved Harvard.”表明他在大学里过得很愉快。

44.解析:set up建立。根据宾语a memorial to him可判断出想为建立纪念物。set about散布;take down拿下;take over接管。

45.解析:moved感动。校长并没有被感动。satisfied满意;excited激动;ashamed羞耻。

46.解析:Harvard大学是一个地方。

47.解析:explain解释。根据下文可判断出校长产生了误解,这位老夫人马上进行了解释。express表达;refuse拒绝;admit承认。

48.解析:下文A building!说明他们想建造一座楼房。

49.解析:glance匆匆一看。从上文“rolled his eyes”可以看出,校长看了他们一眼。laugh at嘲笑;shout at冲……喊叫;call at访问。

50.解析:have any idea知道,了解。下文“We have spent over $7 500 000 on the campus building at Harvard.”说明校长怀疑他们是否知道建一座大楼需要多少钱。

51.解析:pleased高兴。从下文“because he could get rid of them now”可知,校长认为不会再受这两个人的纠缠,因而感到高兴。bored无聊;astonished吃惊。

52.解析:上文中的campus和下文中的the University表明Harvard是一所大学。

53.解析:since引导原因状语从句。根据这两个句子的意思可判断出是因果关系。

54.解析:因为他们建造大学的目的是纪念他们的儿子,所以以他们的姓氏命名这所大学。

55.解析:care about喜欢。由于Harvard大学的校长不同意他们在校园里为儿子建造纪念物,即表示他们的儿子是这所大学不受喜欢的学生。
