When I entered Berkeley. I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could   36 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he   37  in class.
When I took the first exam, I was   38  to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper,   39  English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained   40 .
I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that   41  because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I   42  with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his   43 .
One more test before the final exam. One more   44  to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time,   45  the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my   46  did no good and everything   47  as before.
The last hurdle(障碍)was the final. No matter what   48  I got, it wouldn’t cancel C-pluses. I might as well kiss the   49  goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even   50  myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have   51  with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He   52  to be expecting me. “If I gave you the A-pluses you   53 , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him,   54  that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head   55 , as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

解析试题分析:
【小题1】学习一门课程,修一门课程,习惯上都用take,如take a course/ class/ lesson,当然也可以take a suject。
【小题2】这里涉及的也是对于词本身的搭配,老师在课堂上所表达的观点思想,用present ideas。以老师做主语,动词用seek寻求,exchange交换,obtain获得,都不符合这里的含义。
【小题3】第一段讲我对自己信心满满,可第二段来个大转折,第一次考试后,意外地发现竟然只得了77分,所以是shocked非常吃惊,而worried担心,scared害怕,anxious焦急,都不符合人物心理感受。
【小题4】. 由于3和4两个空是在一个句子内的,所以必须连起来看,尤其这里考察的是连词问题,更要注意观察前后两个句子的逻辑关系,很容易发现,我之所以十分吃惊自己的成绩这么出乎意料的差,是因为我本身英语成绩是很好的,这里for表由于。
【小题5】我去找老师,有一番理论,不过老师的表现是,听完我的话,之后仍然... 这里,unchanged是不改变,注意,主语是老师,老师自己当然不会改变了,难道你指望他是变形金刚或是超人吗?还是个主语的问题,如果主语改为成绩,或许可以成立吧。应该是他不为所动,unmoved不被打动。所以我们可以知道,了解词本身的内在属性,多么重要,用汉语的意思去直接套用理解,而不考虑英语词本身的用法性质,是不行的。
【小题6】本句重在理解句子内部的逻辑和含义,明白了就比较容易。我并不知道刻苦学习意味着什么,因为一直以来学习对我而言是很容易的。
【小题7】我再次遭遇77分,于是再次,去找老师,quarrel吵架?reason找原因?bargain讨价还价?chat闲聊?打分数又不是买菜,难道老师说给你个77分,你说给个95吧,老师说那82吧,你说90吧,老师说86成交,可能吗?虽然我不很理解为什么总得低分,但我的态度还不至于太恶劣或无赖,所以reason可以猜到应该是态度应该是比较温和理性的。reason with sb. 与某人讲道理,说服某人。
【小题8】老师听完之后,再次无动于衷,他没有改变他的... attitude态度?mind想法?plan计划?view观点。这里,attitude迷惑性最大,注意,这里探讨的还是分数能不能更改的事,而change one's mind是英语中一个比较常见的搭配,意为“改变一个人的想法或决定”,相对于态度,改分数的事更多是关于改变决定的。
【小题9】本段前两句是同一个句式的重复,再考一次,也就意味着再一次提高分数的机会,其他选项比较不着边际。
【小题10】. 这一次,我显然是拼了老命了,那么是真的第一次learn了解到啥叫“彻底”了,而不是accept接受。learn是个老词,作为了解的含义,很常见。
【小题11】. 但是这次还是没啥效果,当然是my effort did no good,努力貌似比较白费。
【小题12】. 11和12照例要连在一起看。努力都白瞎了,当然一切还跟原来一样了,言下之意,该77还77,八成是觉得这老师跟我有仇是吧。注意,如果是everything stayed the same as before,可以用半系动词stay,因为有stay the same 这个固定搭配。我在这里就是没仔细看,以为是填stay。仔细看,其实没有the same,只是要求填个单独的不及物动词,而我们常说everything goes well,一切都很顺利,这里是一切都像从前一样,用go就很合理了,足够了。
【小题13】. 这回彻底郁闷了,我想,无论得个啥分数,都无法挽回了。grade表示分数,是个初中的知识。
【小题14】 might as well do sth. 还是做某事的好,不是心甘情愿的最好选择,是无奈之选。新概念二册第19课, “I might as well have them,” I said sadly.“我还是买下这两张票的好,”我垂头丧气地说。kiss sth. goodbye,跟某事说拜拜,意思是...没指望了。scholarship奖学金?course课程?degree学位?subject科目?我一直费这么大劲,计较的还不是奖学金吗?我想,这么着估计是得提前跟奖学金说拜拜了。
【小题15】. 固定搭配,treat sb. to + 饭/娱乐活动,请某人吃饭娱乐等。I even treated myself to a movie,考前很放松,自己掏钱去看电影。
【小题16】. 考察心态,发现这时我是很放松的,甚至考试的时候,决定把考试当作一种fun乐趣,而与luck运气,trick把戏技巧,没有关系。
【小题17】一周后,惊喜地发现自己居然得了A,跑去找老师,发现老师... 在等我。happen to碰巧意外?prove to证明?pretend to假装?seem to好象似乎?老师好象早料到我会来,所以在等。
【小题18】老师说,如果我原来给了你所期望的成绩A,那么你就不会这么努力付出了。所以是expect期待期望,其他的都不通。
【小题19】我看着他,这时才真正明白了他的用心。realize意识到,还有notice注意到,都是完形必考词,出现几率和选中几率都很高。
【小题20】.D 介词辨析。这里指我出去的时候非常开心。
考点:考查教育类完型
点评:本文介绍了我在学习过程中的学习方式的改变,从学习中得到了乐趣和快乐。答题前一定要读懂全文,弄清文章要表达的思想,注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中,一定要认真分析,注意选项与上下文的关系,与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成,因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章,看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺,语意连贯。

  After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.

  During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had mus-cular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症) , When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dream.

  I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was differ-ent. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.

  When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and over-coming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you. ”

  Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before

  Dear Rick ,

  My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. 1 also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that 1 don ‘t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as 1 can.

  I told you someday 1 was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know 1 ‘m a champion , and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven , God will give me my medal and when you get there , I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Your friend ,

Matthew
