Question

  Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. 1 I last met this man eight years ago,I have not forgotten his 2        qualities. First of all,I respected his 3        to teaching. Because his lectures were always well prepared and clearly delivered,students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he 4        what he taught. Further more,he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an 5        way,introducing such aids (輔助) to 6        as oil paintings,music,and guest lectures. Once he 7        sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 8      ,I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 9        the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe,he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would 10       a student to a game of chess (國際象棋).11      ,he would join students’ groups to discuss a variety of 12      ：agriculture,diving and mathematics. Many young peo ple visited him in his office for 13        on their studies;others came to his home for the social evening. Finally,I was 14        by his lively sense of humour. He believed that no lesson is a success 15        during it the students and the professor 16        at least one loud 17        Through his sense of humour,he made learning more 18        and more lasting. If it is 19        that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry,20        my friend is indeed a wise man.

Answer 1

[文章大意]本文中作者回憶了一位教學嚴謹、教學手段豐富的大學教授。

1. A從語意上分析兩個分句之間是讓步關系，前一分句表示讓歩，故用although連接。

even if即使;now that既然。

2. B根據前文可知八年沒見卻仍然記得，所以應該是特殊的品質，排除basic (基礎的) 和common (普通的) 。special強調與眾不同的；particular強調同類事物中個別的。故選B.

3. D由下文的內容可知該老師敬業、熱愛教書，故選BD.

4. C他的解釋能讓人信服，即他相信 (believe in) 自己的觀點。agree with意為"同意"，用來表達同意他人的觀點。

5. A他會引用繪畫、音樂等來闡釋觀點，由此可知他的教學方式是富于想象力的(imaginative)。

ordinary普通的，平常的; opposite相反的;open公開的，開放的。

6. B利用輔助物對觀點進行解釋，目的是幫助學生"理解"，故選 B.

7. C根據常識，利用唱歌來解釋觀點在教學上不多見，由此可知此處用even (甚至) ，表達其特殊性。

8. B由上文的First of all和下文的Finally可知此處應填Sec?ondly ,以確保行文邏輯的連貫性。

9. D此處on the telephone相當于by telephone ,意為"通過電話"，是固定用法。 

10. A此處invite sb to a game of chess意為"邀請某人下棋"。其他選項與語境不符。 

11. C other times意為"其他時間"，與上文的Sometimes呼應。as a matter of fact實際上;later on不久后;in general大體上，一般說來。 

12. B由后文解釋的內容可知談論內容涉及不同的主題 (sub?ject) , 

13. D此處advice on sth意為"在某方面的建議"。

support和experience應與for連用,explanation與of連用。 

14. C disturb打擾;move打動;attract吸弓|;defeat打敗。此處只有C項符合語境。 

15. D此處unless意為"除非"，符合句意。 

16. C該教授希望通過自己的幽默使得課堂充滿歡笑，即師生共享歡樂，故用share (分享) 。 17. A此處loud laugh意為"放聲大笑"。 

18. B在歡快的課堂氣氛中學習起來應是很享受的 (enjoyable) , helpful有幫助的;practical切實可行的;useful有用的。 

19. D此處it is true that—意為"……是真的"。natural自然的;normal正常的;hopeful有希望的。 

20. C前一分句是if引導的假設條件從句，此處應用then (那么) 來承接上文。
