解析:

本文主要講述了Stanford大學(xué)是怎樣創(chuàng)建的。

36. D。Stanford夫婦沒(méi)有預(yù)約來(lái)找Harvard的校長(zhǎng),根據(jù)常識(shí),他們應(yīng)該是在校長(zhǎng)辦公室的外間。

37. B。根據(jù)前文講到的 without an appointment和后文講到的kept waiting可知,此處指Stanford夫婦被秘書(shū)攔住(stopped)了。

38. A。根據(jù)For hours, the secretary took no notice of them 這一信息來(lái)看,秘書(shū)肯定是希望(hoping)他們最后變得失望而離開(kāi)。

39. B。分析見(jiàn)上題。

40. D。秘書(shū)開(kāi)始對(duì)Stanford夫婦不理不睬,是希望他們最后變得失望而離開(kāi)。但是,他們的堅(jiān)持最后使得秘書(shū)不得不去找校長(zhǎng),故此處用 unwillingly 最合語(yǔ)境。

41. C。從下文可以看出,校長(zhǎng)對(duì)Stanford夫婦一直很冷淡,而且拒絕了他們的要求。故此處填cold 最佳。

42. A。表示Harvard學(xué)習(xí),要用study in Harvard或attend Harvard。

43. D。根據(jù)前文的 He love Harvard可知,Stanford夫婦的兒子在Harvard很愉快。

44. B。比較:set about著手工作;set up 建立;take down 拿下,記下;take over 繼承;接管。根據(jù)與其后賓語(yǔ)的搭配,只有set up 最佳。

45. C。此處指校長(zhǎng)并沒(méi)有被夫婦二人的話所感動(dòng)。相反,他感到很震驚,并拒絕了他們的請(qǐng)求。

46. D。If we did 在此的意思是“如果我們同意你們哈佛為你們的兒子建一個(gè)紀(jì)念物的話”,故此處選place,this place 指哈佛大學(xué)。

47. A。根據(jù)后文Harvard 夫人說(shuō)的話來(lái)看,她是在作解釋(explain)。

48. A。根據(jù)下文提到的how much a building costs 可以推斷出此處填building。

49. C。此處指校長(zhǎng)不相信Stanford夫婦有能力蓋一座樓,所以他用輕蔑的眼光掃視他們,故用glance 最貼切。

50. B。have an idea about sth 意為“知道……”。

51. D。此處指的是校長(zhǎng)感到很高興,因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為現(xiàn)在可以擺脫掉他們了。

52. B。從下文可知,Stanford夫婦想建立了一所屬于自己的大學(xué)。

53. C。因上下文為因果關(guān)系,故用since。

54. A。bear one’s name 意為“用……的名字”“帶有……的名字”。

55. D。比較:talk about 談?wù)摚籯now about 知道,了解;hear about 聽(tīng)說(shuō);care about 在乎,關(guān)心。根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境,選care about 最佳。
