1．wanted在此是“需要”的意思。这里用过去分词短语做后置定语，修饰job。2．作者是一位即将上大学的学生，没有钱． be short of money缺钱。3．作者写申请时感到担心，因为他既汲有学位，也没有教学经验。fearing是现在分词做状语，表示伴随着的心理状态，其后的宾语从句是由that引导的。4．without a degree and with noexperience形成并列。5．由于没有经验，找到工作的可能性很小。slight微小的，其他三个选项意思相反。6．收到一封信。a fetter做主语，故不用received。7. 信上写着要作者到Croydon与学校校长见面meeting。8．据上下文，去见面要乘火车、公共汽车和步行。因此旅途根艰难。9．指作者感到太热了反而不紧张。10．上面提到的是要与校长会面，故B为最佳答案。11．指一个班有24名7岁至13岁的男孩。12．which引导非限定性定语从句，修饰art。13．作者要教除艺术之外的所有功课，应该把全班分成三个组。14．作者要按三种不同的水平进行教学。15．想到要教自己上学时不太擅长的数学课，作者有点失望。16．begood at a subject对一门学科很擅长。17．更糟的是星期六下午还得去教学生。18．enjoy themselvess指作者的朋友星期六下午都玩得快活，与自己形成对比。19．get up to one’s feet站起来。20．run管理，start创办。这里指学校的管理权实际上在校长夫人手中。
