　　答案解析：

　　36. A

　　此處意為“涉及大約300個(gè)學(xué)生至少21所高校的非正式談話”。counting意為“數(shù)目是”，covering意為“包括”，figuring意為“數(shù)目是”。

　　37. B

　　此題考察固定搭配。at least意為“至少”。

　　38. D

　　此題考察上下文理解。此句后文出現(xiàn)了與空缺并列的direct，意思是“直接的”，因此，要選擇與此意相近的詞。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別是：A(含蓄的)，B(努力的)，C(禮貌的)，D(坦白的)。不難得出，此題選D。

　　39. C

　　comment on sth.意為“對(duì)……的評(píng)價(jià)”。

　　40. A

　　此題考察詞匯和原文理解。present的意思是to bring to sb’s notice directly，符合題意。

　　41. C

　　此題考察固定搭配。make remarks意為“對(duì)……作出評(píng)價(jià)或評(píng)論”。

　　42. C

　　此題考察詞匯。by the case譯為“在……情況下”。原文意為“在同學(xué)們談到某些教師時(shí)，其評(píng)論言辭的犀利程度常常被弱化了”。

　　43. B

　　此題考察介詞用法。speak about意為“論及;涉及”。

　　44. B

　　此處考察上下文銜接。本句意為“正如以下建議所暗示的……”，故選B(as)。

　　45. A

　　根據(jù)文意，同學(xué)們對(duì)于課堂的某些方面還是不滿意的。這樣，可判斷C，D不能選。A意為“不滿意的”(人作主語(yǔ));B意為“令人不滿意的”(物作主語(yǔ))。

　　46. C

　　此處考察詞匯。A，B，D意思都與“打擾”相關(guān)，只有C的意思是“不鼓勵(lì)”。這里指，不鼓勵(lì)教師上課照念教參。

　　47. A

　　此題考察相似詞匯的細(xì)微區(qū)別。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是：A(形容人說(shuō)話的聲音)，B(聲響，聲音)，C(發(fā)音)，D(手勢(shì))。依據(jù)上下文意思，故選A。

　　48. D

　　此題考察固定搭配give out，意為“分發(fā)”。

　　49. D

　　此處考察情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的用法。should可代表有強(qiáng)烈的個(gè)人感情色彩，且表將來(lái)發(fā)生的事情的可能性。而且，從后文中也用了should一詞可以判斷得出答案。

　　50. D

　　此處考察動(dòng)詞的固定搭配。avoid doing sth.意為“避免做某事”。

　　51. A

　　此處意為“一旦我們讀材料，我們希望討論它或是聽(tīng)到詳盡的說(shuō)明，而不是簡(jiǎn)單的重復(fù)”。

　　52. C

　　由于老師重復(fù)太多，同學(xué)們都很有意見(jiàn)，他們希望能對(duì)知識(shí)點(diǎn)進(jìn)行討論或者聽(tīng)老師的詳細(xì)闡述。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是：A(記住)，B(爭(zhēng)論，爭(zhēng)吵)，C(討論)D(保存)。由此可知，答案選C。

　　53. B

　　參考51題解釋，故選擇not。B為答案。

　　54. C

　　此題考察詞匯。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思是：A(理想的)，B(修改的)，C(要求的)，D(值得的)。本句意為“同學(xué)們厭惡購(gòu)買(mǎi)的課本當(dāng)然是老師要求、規(guī)定讓他們?nèi)ベI(mǎi)的課本了�！�

　　55. D

　　only在此處意為“僅僅為了……”。
