Question

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few  36 . On their faces was confidence . This was their last exam — then on to 37 and jobs.

Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 38 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 39 of the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)  40 task. The professor had said they could bring  41 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 42 each other, during the test.

 43 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 44 on the students’ faces as they noted(注意到) there were only five essay-type questions.

Three hours had passed 45 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.

He looked at the 46 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 47 a hand was raised.

“How many answered four?” Still no hands.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly （不安地,慌张地）in their seats.

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .”But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that,   50 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively(相对地,相当地)  52 in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all  53 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just  54 .”

【解析】文章讲述的是一个教授在给学生们的毕业考试中教育了学生一个道理，即使他们大学毕业了，但是他们的教育其实才刚刚开始

1.上下文，根据下文可知学生们正在去考场的路上，所以肯定是过一会就要考试了即几分钟之后，

2.上下文，根据上文的It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university可知，他们考完试就可以毕业了。

3.句意理解，一些人在讨论已经找到的工作，有的人在讨论将会找到的工作。

4.词组，take control of控制，意为，他们感觉已经准备好了，他们能够掌控这个世界了。

5.上下文，根据下文可知教授说他们可以带任何书籍或者笔记去参加考试，因此他们认为这次考试肯定是非常容易的。

6.同上

7.句意理解，教授唯一的要求就是他们不可以相互之间讨论，

8.上下文，根据上文可知，他们认为试卷将会很简单，所以他们很开心地进入了考场

12.上下文，根据后文Still no hands可知没有人完成了五道题，所以没有人举手

13.上下文，根据上文One, then可知，教授此时问的是有没有人完成了一题

14.句意理解，教授说这正是我所预料的

15.句意理解，尽管你们完成了四年的工程学，但是关于这个课题，你们还有很多东西是不知道的

16.同上

17.句意理解，为了给他们留下深刻的印象，教授选择的是问题都是生活中常见的

18.句意理解，当然你们都会通过这次考试，但是要记住，即使你们是大学毕业生了，你们的教育其实才刚刚开始

19.同上
