A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an  appointment(預(yù)約)into the outer  36  of Harvard’s president. But they were  37  by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,  38  that the couple would finally become  39  and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though  40  .

      A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a  41  face. The lady told him, “We had a son that  42  Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was  43  here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to  44  a memorial(紀(jì)念物)to him, somewhere on campus.”

     The president wasn’t  45  . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this   46  would look like a cemetery(墓地),” “Oh, no,” the lady  47  quickly. “We don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a  48  to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and  49  at the couple and then exclaimed, “ A building! Do you have any  50  how much a building costs? We have spent over $7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was  51  , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a  52  ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded.  53  their offer was turned down. Mr. and Mrs. Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University that bears their  54  , a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer  55  about.

解析:

36.解析:根據(jù)其定語(yǔ)of Harvard’s president可判斷出走進(jìn)了Harvard大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)的辦公室。

37.解析:從下文kept waiting可以看出,他們被秘書(shū)攔住了。follow跟隨;interview采訪。

38.解析:hope希望。秘書(shū)不理睬他們的目的是希望他們離開(kāi)。realize認(rèn)識(shí)到;imagine想像。

39.解析:disappointed失望。從下文go away可知,秘書(shū)希望他們失望而離開(kāi)。

40.解析:unwillingly不情愿地。上文“the secretary took no notice of them”和“go away”說(shuō)明秘書(shū)很不情愿地把這件事報(bào)告給校長(zhǎng)。

41.解析:with a cold face冰冷的面孔。上文“without an appointment”說(shuō)明這一對(duì)夫婦是在沒(méi)有預(yù)約的情況下要求見(jiàn)校長(zhǎng)的,這引起了校長(zhǎng)的不快。

42.解析:attend上(學(xué),課)。在Harvard大學(xué)上了一年的課。study是不及物動(dòng)詞,在Harvard前要加at。

43.解析:上文的“He loved Harvard.”表明他在大學(xué)里過(guò)得很愉快。

44.解析:set up建立。根據(jù)賓語(yǔ)a memorial to him可判斷出想為建立紀(jì)念物。set about散布;take down拿下;take over接管。

45.解析:moved感動(dòng)。校長(zhǎng)并沒(méi)有被感動(dòng)。satisfied滿意;excited激動(dòng);ashamed羞恥。

46.解析:Harvard大學(xué)是一個(gè)地方。

47.解析:explain解釋。根據(jù)下文可判斷出校長(zhǎng)產(chǎn)生了誤解,這位老夫人馬上進(jìn)行了解釋。express表達(dá);refuse拒絕;admit承認(rèn)。

48.解析:下文A building!說(shuō)明他們想建造一座樓房。

49.解析:glance匆匆一看。從上文“rolled his eyes”可以看出,校長(zhǎng)看了他們一眼。laugh at嘲笑;shout at沖……喊叫;call at訪問(wèn)。

50.解析:have any idea知道,了解。下文“We have spent over $7 500 000 on the campus building at Harvard.”說(shuō)明校長(zhǎng)懷疑他們是否知道建一座大樓需要多少錢。

51.解析:pleased高興。從下文“because he could get rid of them now”可知,校長(zhǎng)認(rèn)為不會(huì)再受這兩個(gè)人的糾纏,因而感到高興。bored無(wú)聊;astonished吃驚。

52.解析:上文中的campus和下文中的the University表明Harvard是一所大學(xué)。

53.解析:since引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句。根據(jù)這兩個(gè)句子的意思可判斷出是因果關(guān)系。

54.解析:因?yàn)樗麄兘ㄔ齑髮W(xué)的目的是紀(jì)念他們的兒子,所以以他們的姓氏命名這所大學(xué)。

55.解析:care about喜歡。由于Harvard大學(xué)的校長(zhǎng)不同意他們?cè)谛@里為兒子建造紀(jì)念物,即表示他們的兒子是這所大學(xué)不受喜歡的學(xué)生。
