　　My Teacher in the School of Life

Offutt’s British literature class, listening to him __1__ what his seniors would learn and get them excited about the journey they would take. I’m the principal(校長) of the school now, but for a few minutes I was back in 1975, __2__ what the future held.

　　I have been learning from Dr Offutt for 30 of the 51 years he has been teaching at DeMatha. He not only taught me to think, he __3__ me, as much by example as words, that it was my moral duty to do so and to serve others.

After several years, I was __5__ department chair, and our relationship changed again. I thought that it might be __6__chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr Offutt __7__ me throughout. He knew when to give me __8__ about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me design my own course.

　　In 1997, I needed his advice about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. Instead, he encouraged me to seize the new __9__ .

　　Five years ago, I became the principal of DeMatha. Once again, Dr Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could__10__ on him as I tried to fill such big shoes. I’ve learned from him that great teachers have a(an) __11__ wealth of lessons to teach. Even if his students don’t know it yet, I know how __12__ they are; I’m still one of them.

　　I stood by and watched her and her mother busily decorating her college dorm(宿舍). Everything was in place, with boxes under the bed and photos of her dearest friends on the wall. I closely monitored that this time things were

　　__37__ . I began to accept that her room at home is no longer hers. It is now ours, our room for her when she visits.

　　I __38__ myself thinking of when I held her in my arms sitting in a chair by my wife’s hospital __39__ . One day old. So small, so beautiful, so perfect, so totally reliant on her new parents. My wife changed from the day I drove this little baby home from the __40__ . I saw myself differently that day, too.

　　The last few days __41__ she left for college, I touched her arm, her face—anything, __42__ that when my wife and I returned home, she would not be with us and there would be nothing to touch. I had so much to say, but no words with which to say it.

　　Suddenly she looked up, __43__ me staring at her, which caused her to say to her mother, “Mom. Dad’s looking at me funny.” She then said, “It’ll be fine, Dad. I’ll be home from school soon.” I told her she would have a __44__ year. But I said little else. I was __45__ that I would say something too small for what I was feeling, so I only held on to our goodbye hug a little longer, a little tighter.

　　My wife’s eyes followed her as she left us. Mine did not. I __46__ she hadn’t gone. I knew that the life she was going towards was exciting and wonderful. I remembered what the world looked like to me when everything was __47__

　　專限時訓練(十三)

　　(一)

　　作者從一所學校的普通學生成長為該校的老師，后來又接任校長職務，期間一直得到一個人的幫助，作者為擁有這樣的良師而感到慶幸。

　　1．A　當時Dr Offutt是作者的老師，所以應向學生“解釋”他們將要學習的內容。speak表示說話的內容時是不及物動詞，teach用在此處絲毫沒有意義。

　　2．C　根據but一詞可推測作者現在雖然身為校長，可當年并不知未來如何。

　　3．D　他不僅教育作者思考，而且以大量事例讓作者“信服”。根據本句中的as much by example可知是舉例讓作者相信他的話。

　　4．A　根據下文的our relationship changed可判斷此項正確。后三項分別表示“職位”、“形勢”、“條件；狀況”，在文中都沒有信息支持。

　　5．B　幾年后，作者被“任命”為系主任，此處name是動詞，表示 “任命；提名”。A項表示 “指出”，應改為appointed。

　　6．D　本句中間部分提到作者以前的英語老師仍然在此處工作，所以作者認為管理這個系的工作極具“挑戰(zhàn)”性。

　　7．C　根據but一詞可知Dr Offutt自始至終“支持”作者。下一句提供了暗示。

　　8．A　上文提到作者很茫然，不知所措，由此可知他給作者提供“建議”。此處，根據后面give賓語的內容也可以判斷此項正確。

　　9．B　 本段第一句提到作者即將出任另一所學校的校長，由此可知這是一次“機會”。根據本句的前一句可知作者并沒有決定去擔當此任，所以A項不正確；C項表示 “占據；占有；職業(yè)”，與語義不符。

　　10．C　上文提到作者遇到困難時他總是提供幫助和支持，由此可判斷此項正確。下—句也是暗示。

　　11．D　 偉大的老師有“取之不盡的”課程資源財富。A、C兩項有一定的干擾牲，但不能很好地與great相搭配。

　　12．A　 作者認為學生擁有良師無比“幸運”，因為作者對Dr Offutt這樣的優(yōu)秀老師永遠銘記在心。

　　(二)

　　Bobby Moresco出身普通工人家庭，他想擺脫當建筑工人或警察的命運，希望能成為演員，并克服了種種困難為之奮斗了數十年，最后終于成了一位著名的劇作家。

　　13．D　 Bobby從少年時期就開始演戲，但如同后來所知，他的演藝生涯一直不成功，因此此處可填good表示“不是一個好演員”。

　　14．A　雖然不是一個好的演員．他還是希望能改變自己的人生，“做一些使生活變得不同的事情”。

　　15．C　為了實現自己的夙愿，他去了好萊塢碰運氣，“碰運氣”可使用meet(find)one’s fortune表示，故此空選擇fortune。

　　16．D　因為太想當一名演員，所以他自愿在自己開辦的一個表演單位做出租司機和服務員的工作。

　　17．B　根據上下文的意思可知盡管他目前做的工作很辛苦，但他仍然執(zhí)著于自己選擇的事業(yè)，chosen符合句意。afford“給予，提供”，respect“尊敬”，offer“提供”，均與句意不符。

　　18．D　這里的意思是他寫了一部與他自己生活有關的戲劇，“與……有關”可使用be related to表示，因此此處選擇related。

　　19．C　上文已經談到他的兄弟被謀殺．此處選擇killing即指此事。

　　20．D　這里是指他漸漸有了名氣。reputation意思是“名氣，名望”，為最佳選項。influence“影響”，ambition“雄心”及success“成功”均不符合意。

　　21．B　正在他窮困潦倒時，他接到了一個導演的電話。when可表示“正當這時”。

　　22．A　盡管劇本被一次次駁回，但他對自己的作品有著強烈的信心，選擇strongly可反映他堅強的意志力。
