When I entered Berkley，I hoped to win a scholarship（獎學(xué)金）．As a Straight﹣A student all the way through，I believed I could take tough subjects and really learn something．One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne．I was very interested in the ideas he taught in class．

When I took the first exam，I was shocked to find a 77，C﹣plus，on my test paper，for English was always my best subject．I went to Professor Jayne，who listened to my_______but he refused to do anything about it．

I decided to try harder，_______I didn't know what that meant because school always seemed easy for me．I read the books more carefully，but got another 77．Again，I reasoned with Professor Jayne．Again，he listened patiently but wouldn't_______．

One more test before the final exam．So I worked even harder and，for the first time，learned the meaning of the word"thorough"．But my effort did no good and_______stayed as before．

The last chance was the final．No matter what grade I got，it wouldn't cancel three C﹣pluses．I might as well kiss the scholarship goodbye．

【解析】

本文以第一人稱講述了一個(gè)故事�！拔摇焙芟Ｍ�拿到好成績并獲得獎學(xué)金，但一向自認(rèn)不錯(cuò)的英語卻總是被打低分，最后教授告訴“我”之前給低分是為了讓“我”能繼續(xù)努力學(xué)習(xí)該科目。

【1】句意：我去找杰恩教授，他聽了我的理由，但仍無動于衷。

考查名詞。A. speeches演講；B. replies回復(fù)；C. arguments理由；D. conclusions結(jié)論。根據(jù)上文I was shocked to find a 77，C-plus，on my test paper，for English was always my best subject可知，作者一向擅長英語，但是卻只得了77分，于是去找教授，讓他聽作者的理由，C選項(xiàng)符合句意，故應(yīng)選C。

【2】句意：我決定更加努力，雖然我不知道那意味著什么，但是學(xué)業(yè)對我來說似乎總是很容易。

考查連詞。A. although雖然；B. unless除非；C. if如果；D. when當(dāng)……時(shí)。根據(jù)前后文可知，前文“我”決定努力學(xué)習(xí)，后文“我”又認(rèn)為學(xué)業(yè)總是很容易，故空格處應(yīng)用although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，意為“雖然”，故應(yīng)選A。

【3】句意：他再次耐心地聽著，但是不能改變他的想法。

考查動詞短語。A. communicate with me和我溝通；B. look after me照顧我；C. get rid of it擺脫掉它；D. change his mind改變他的想法。根據(jù)上文who listened to my arguments but he refused to do anything about it可知，本句是他再次聽“我”陳述理由并且再次無動于衷，即不會改變他的想法，故應(yīng)選D。

【4】句意：但我的努力沒有效果，一切都一如既往。

考查不定代詞。A. anything任何事情；B. something某些事情；C. everything所有事情；D. nothing沒有事情。根據(jù)上文So I worked even harder和But my effort did no good可知，我更努力了，但卻沒有效果，故空格處句意應(yīng)為“一切都一如既往”，C選項(xiàng)符合句意，故應(yīng)選C。

【5】句意：期末考試前一天晚上，我甚至還輕松地看了一場電影。

考查名詞。A. test測試；B. movie電影；C. trick惡作�。�D. survey調(diào)查。根據(jù)上文I stopped working hard可知，空格處應(yīng)該是還輕松地看了一場電影，故應(yīng)選B。

【6】句意：如果我按你期盼的成績給你評分，你就不會繼續(xù)用功了。

考查動詞。A. expected期望；B. volunteered自愿；C. realized實(shí)現(xiàn)；D. selected選擇。根據(jù)上文I was shocked to find a 77，C﹣plus，on my test paper，for English was always my best subject．I went to Professor Jayne可知，“我”認(rèn)為自己的英語成績很好，所以得到77這個(gè)成績很震驚，“我”去找教授理論是因?yàn)椤拔摇逼谕�能得到一個(gè)好成績，A選項(xiàng)符合句意，故應(yīng)選A。
