[答案及解析]
这是一篇故事性记叙文，描写的对象是自己的老师，结合了作者自己本身的学习经验。文章重点在于介绍老师的特点以及她对自己的影响，设空和选项以名词为主。阅读的时候要注意首句的点题作用，要抓住文章的关键词inspire，这是贯穿始终的主题。
1、B
注意其后的定语从句，先行词应该是foundation（基础）。为学生创造学术研究和工作的基础。
2、A
of all time的意思是“有史以来，一直都是，永远是”。
3、C
这里要注意英语中的特殊的表达方式。nothing less than的意思是“简直是，绝对是”。这一句可以理解为，老师接受的就是优秀的表现。
4、C
由后句we often prove ourselves able to deal with defficult problems可推知答案，有挑战才有prove，difficult problems也指向challenge。这里比较难以排除的是help，help students是几乎每个老师都在做的事情，不能准确体现作者老师的特点。而且，challenge与inspire这一主题一致。
5、B
由前文appreciate the written works中的appreciate以及后文的lively等词能推导出pleasure。如果我们尝试着从整体考虑文章，我们可以知道这篇文章的主题是inspire。pleasure，challenge，despite the difficult language等实词均是为inspire服务的。
6、A
常识告诉我们，high school students在阅读莎士比亚、狄更斯、荷马的原著的时候会有语言障碍。
7、B
bring someone or something to life的意思是to reactivate someone or something，使苏醒，重新充满活力，或者可以理解为to make something exciting and interesting。
8、D
其实这一题是最难判断的，A是可以忍受的，endure是“忍受”的意思，而后缀-able表示“可……的”，B是“漫长的”，C是“隐藏的”，D是“明显的”。首先排除C，老师没有隐藏自己的热爱。A也可以排除，我们是喜欢老师的教学风格 的，B是“漫长的”，“漫长”一词和文章不搭。那么选择D，老师对散文和诗歌的明显热爱感染和激发了学生。
9、A
确定选项的时候我们可以试着把句子简单化，去掉状语as much as I could这句可以简化为I was learning about a wide range of topics。
10、C
这题其实是考查do it，do so，do this以及do that的区别。do so主要用来表示同一主语所做的前面刚提到过的同一动作，指Brenda Neal opened my mind and soul to the classics。还有，当do本身以不定式、现在分词和动名词等形式出现时，其后代词一律是so，此题应该为in doing so。
