I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years, I had no _21_ about my ability to hold their attention and to _22_ on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “_23_ !” and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat _24_ about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尴尬)was over, I quickly _25_ my calmness and began what I thought was a fact – packed lecture, sure to gain their respect – perhaps 26 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a (n) _27 of achievements.

My students _28  diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually _29_ by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. _30_ her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a _31_ subject. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework(哲学体系)of Western thought and laid the historical _32_for all the works we’ll study in class.” I complained. “How _33_ they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it _34_ became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as _35_ of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise _36_ questions and provide enough background so that students could _37_ their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide _38_ information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

_39  , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a _40  American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

21. C 根据前面作者教英国文学课17年应该知道我对于我的母语文学会给学生很深的印象（impress）毫无怀疑（doubt），

22.同上

23. 中国课堂上课喊起立“stand up”这是常识

24.根据后面的作者尴尬（awkwardness），知道作者对于中国上课喊起立不习惯，所以很困惑（puzzled）

25.重新镇定下来（regained）开始讲课

26.作者认为这节课讲得很好,根据前面的sure to gain their respect 能够知道作者认为可能甚至（even ）欣赏她的课。

27.sense of achievement  “成就感”

28.keep diaries “记日记”

29.这和前面的成就感形成对比，所以应该是被失落感所代替“replace”

30.这是学生的一句安慰老师的话“也许（perhaps）下节课会做得更好”

31.每个日记都表达相似的（similar）的想法，即对于老师讲的文学课没有学到什么知识的说法，使老师非常失落

32.这和倒数第二段37空前面的background 形成呼应

33. “How can they say…”表示“我这么讲课，他们怎么能说我没教他们知识呢？”

34.immediately “立刻，马上” certainly“当然”simply“简单，简直”gradually“逐渐地” 根据句子的含义应该是“经过很长的学期后，我逐渐有了清楚的认识”所以选D

35.those 代指前面的ideas about education

36.作者认为“教师的工作就是raise interesting questions ”和后面的得出自己的结论形成呼应

37.得出结论“draw one’s conclusion”

38.exact “确切的”和后面的directly ，clearly 呼应

39.上下文逻辑关系是转折，从前面的失落转换成自己通过和中国学生打交道也学到不少东西

40.和中国学生的经历使我成为一位更好的（better）老师，知道怎样在一个不同的文化国度里教学。
