.1. 解析：選B。就在30年前作者在此上第—節(jié)課。根據(jù)常識可知學(xué)校的開學(xué)時間與開學(xué)第一節(jié)課的相同。所以結(jié)合the opening day和the first day of classes也可以推斷出選B。
2. 解析：選A。由文意可知，當(dāng)時Dr Offutt是作者的老師，所以應(yīng)向?qū)W生“解釋”他們將要學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容。
3. 解析：選D。 (that/which)they would take是定語從句，修飾先行詞the journey。take the journey是固定搭配，表示“去旅行”。
4．解析：選C。根據(jù)but一詞可知，作者雖然身為校長，可當(dāng)年并不知未來如何。
5. 解析：選D。他不僅教作者思考，而且以大量事例讓作者“信服”。根據(jù)下文中的as much by example可知，是舉例讓作者相信他的話。
6．解析：選A。他不但用“話語”進行教育，還輔之以例證。此處與前面的taught相呼應(yīng)。
7. 解析：選C。這么做并且為“別人”服務(wù)是作者的道義責(zé)任，此處表示泛指“其他人”。
8. 解析：選A。根據(jù)第下文中our relationship changed可判斷出，選A。
9. 解析：選B。幾年后，作者被“任命”為系主席。此處name作動詞，表示 “任命；提名”。
10. 解析：選D。第一段開頭部分提到作者當(dāng)時是Dr Offutt的學(xué)生，根據(jù)上文中的“I worked for Dr Offutt”可知，作者已是教師，而此處又提到作者被提拔，由此可知二人之間的關(guān)系 “又”發(fā)生了改變。
11. 解析：選D。根據(jù)文意可知，作者認為管理這個系的工作極具“挑戰(zhàn)”性。
12．解析：選C。根據(jù)but一詞可知，Dr Offutt自始至終“支持”作者。
13. 解析：選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”。
14. 解析：選D。根據(jù)文意可知，如果他當(dāng)初讓作者留在DeMatha，作者也許會這么做�！叭欢彼膭钭髡呓邮苄碌氖姑�。
15. 解析：選B。本段第一句提到作者即將出任另一所學(xué)校的校長，由此可知這是一次“機會”。
16．解析：選B。此處與上文中“I'm the principal of the school now...”相呼應(yīng)。故選B。
17. 解析：選C。上文提到作者遇到困難時他總是提供幫助和支持，由此可判斷選C。depend on依靠。
18. 解析：選D。句意為：偉大的老師有“取之不盡的”課程資源財富。
19. 解析：選B。此處表示讓步關(guān)系，表示“即使；縱然”。句意表示雖然學(xué)生還不知道，可作者早已明白。
20. 解析：選A。作者認為學(xué)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。

The course has been very interesting, but I was expecting a little more one-to-one time with my teacher．
We do about four assignments （作業(yè)） each term, each of which is about 3,000 words．However, sometimes they are not that helpful．We hope to be given the right to write feedback （反饋） after every assignment, but we had no feedback at all throughout the first year．We are given grades about three weeks after we hand the assignments in．There is no feedback on where we have gone wrong or how we might improve．
????????????? Lee Millington, a creative-writing student
I choose the courses because of its reputation．There is a lack of one-to-one teaching．I would like personalized feedback from an expert in my field of writing．Some of the lectures have been quite helpful but they try to use too many different styles of writing．For example, if you want to be a poet, you might find that the lectures focus too much on novels．
I think there is too much attention paid to sharing our work in workshops and giving each other feedback．I think there should be more time given to actual teaching, rather than to feedback from people who are at a similar level to me．
????????????? Reporters from Hounsdown Secondary School, Ella, 16
When I work independently, I feel I have more freedom to develop my ideas and come up with more original viewpoints．The price of university will still be worth it to get the qualifications （資格證書） necessary for better jobs．
