解析:

36.解析:slow意為“慢的,緩慢的,遲鈍的,笨的”,表示做某事速度慢,或反應遲鈍。根據(jù)上文所提供的情景While I studies at school, I felt a great difficulty in learning my Latin translations.可判斷出由于作者在學習拉丁語翻譯上存在困難,所以在使用詞典方面速度很慢。quick意為“快的”,與上文所提供的情景矛盾。hard意為“困難的”,表示做某事難時,其主語是物。good意為“好的”,表示“擅長于”時,要用介詞at,而不用in,同時也不符合短文內(nèi)容。

37.解析:find意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”,后接most difficult作賓語補足語,表示發(fā)現(xiàn)使用詞典困難。make / get it most difficult意為“使它變得困難”,表示人為地使使用詞典變得困難起來。leave it difficult意為“讓它困難”,表示讓它處于困難的狀態(tài)。

38.解析:trouble意為“麻煩,困難”,while表示前后兩個句子是轉(zhuǎn)折關系,表示作者在學習學習拉丁語翻譯方面存在困難,而其他的學生卻沒有困難。difference意為“差異,差別”,no difference意為“沒有差別”,與前面的內(nèi)容不構成轉(zhuǎn)折對比關系。labor意為“勞動”,no labor意為“沒有勞動”,指其他的學生不干活。worry意為“苦惱,愁悶,操心”。

39.解析:could是can的過去式,表示能力,意為“能夠”,根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可判斷出作者的朋友能夠像讀英語那樣容易地讀拉丁語。might表示可能性,但可能性很小,常表示一種虛擬情況。would表示愿意或過去某段時間經(jīng)常做某事。should表示“應該”。

40.解析:much修飾動詞的意思是“很,非常”,表示程度。as much … as …意為“……跟……到同一程度”,表示作者的朋友在給校長寫英語文章方面與作者使用拉丁語詞匯方面都有相同程度的麻煩。very意為“很,非!,不修飾動詞,也不與as … as …連用。little意為“少,幾乎沒有”。表示幾乎沒有麻煩。與短文內(nèi)容矛盾。few用于修飾復數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,不修飾動詞。

41.解析:by在謂語為被動語態(tài)的句子中放在動作執(zhí)行者前,表示“被某人做……”。as … as …連接兩個并列成分,根據(jù)上文中的by English essays可判斷出要用介詞by,表示“被拉丁語詞匯所困擾”。

42.解析:tell后接雙賓語,意為“講給……聽”,表示他們同意作者的朋友把拉丁語翻譯講給作者聽。change意為“改變”。take意為“拿走”。forgive意為“原諒”。

43.解析:work意為“起作用”,表示這個安排起到非常好的作用。try意為“嘗試”。happen意為“發(fā)生”。develop意為“發(fā)展”。

44.解析:satisfied意為“滿意的”,指需要或愿望得到完全滿足,用于人,不可用于物。所提供的情景The arrangement worked wonderfully.和下文中的I had to compose the essays of my friend說明校長對作者寫的文章感到滿意。angry意為“生氣”。frightened意為“受到驚嚇的”。sad意為“悲傷的”。都不符合上下文的內(nèi)容。

45.解析:or so常用于數(shù)詞或表示時間、距離等的名詞之后,意為“在……左右、上下”。表示大約一周左右作者就幫助他的朋友寫一篇文章。or else意為“否則,要不然”。as usual意為“像往常一樣,照例”。as far不構成短語。

46.解析:appear意為“出現(xiàn)”,表示幾個月來沒有出現(xiàn)困難。become后接名詞或代詞意為“成為”后接形容詞意為“變得”。seem意為“似乎”,常與it連用,當名詞作主語時,構成seem to do sth。lie后接表示位置的介詞短語意為“位于,在”。

47.解析:all意為“叫來”或“請來”,指用語言或呼聲叫某人來。call sb to do sth意為“叫來某人做某事”。下文的內(nèi)容說明一天下午校長把作者的朋友叫去與他討論文章。

48.解析:point意為“要點”,指文章中的主要觀點或要點。aim和goal都表示“目的,目標”,指做某事達到的目的或目標。opinion意為“想法,看法”,指個人對某事的觀點或看法。

49.解析:what引導賓語從句,在從句中作had的賓語從句。which在賓語從句中作主語、賓語、表語或定語,意為“哪一個”,指在有限范圍內(nèi)的某一個人或物。why和how引導賓語從句時作狀語,所以從句必須是一個完整的句子,而不能缺少主語、賓語或表語。

50.解析:way意為“方法,方式”,可指具體的方法,也可指抽象的方法,多指一般的思想、行動、辦事的方法,也可指個人特殊的方法、方式等。表示校長不斷地贊揚文章的觀點和詢問作者的朋友他對這些觀點的進一步想法。excitement意為“刺激,興奮,振奮;激昂,奮激”。meaning意為“意思,意義;詞義”。disappointment意為“失望,失意,沮喪;挫折”。

51.解析:turn … into意為“把……變成……”。從上文to the fear of my friend可以看出,由于文章不是作者的朋友寫的,當校長一而再,再而三提出問題時,他感到害怕,所以這里說校長不希望把表揚變成尋找過過錯。leave意為“留下”,與into不構成短語。grow意為“成長”,grow into是不可分短語動詞,表示“成長為,漸成,變?yōu)椤,指人或事物成長的結果。become意為“成為”,也不與into構成短語。

52.解析:one意為“一個”,用于代詞指代上文前面有不定冠詞的名詞,即指occasion,表示一個尋找過錯的機會。none意為“沒誰,沒人;沒有任何事物;沒有任何一點”。either意為“兩者中的任何一個”。some意為“有些人;有的東西”。

53.解析:let意為“讓”,let sb do sth表示“讓某人做某事”。要用不帶to的不定式作賓語補足語。order、ask和take后接帶to的不定式作賓語補足語,分別表示“命令某人做某事”、“叫某人做某事”和“帶某人去做某事”。

54.解析:escape意為“逃避”,一般指設法躲開討厭的人或擺脫面臨的危險、不快之事或指安然擺脫某種束縛或有害環(huán)境而獲得自由,強調(diào)逃脫的結果。a very narrow escape表示“差一點逃脫不了”。從上文的內(nèi)容可知,由于文章不是作者的朋友寫的,如果校長繼續(xù)盤問下去,事情很可能敗露。surprise意為“吃驚”。hope意為“希望”。chance意為“機會”。

55.解析:translation意為“翻譯”。通過這件事,作者認識到了自己的錯誤,所以下定決心努力把拉丁文翻譯學好。reading意為“閱讀”。writing意為“寫作”。essay意為“文章”。這些都不需要作者努力學好的內(nèi)容。

He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced. It ran for fifteen months.
