解析【小題1】B exactly“確切地,整整”。

【小題3】D 所填詞與journey構(gòu)成固定短語take a journey,意思是“旅行”。
【小題4】C 此處是非謂語動詞作狀語,根據(jù)后文的future可知此處是“想知道”之意,因此選C。

【小題6】A 此處用words,意思是“言語,話語”。
【小題7】C 句子意思是:這么做和幫助別人是我道義上的責(zé)任,故用others。
【小題8】A 文章整體就是在說明“我”和老師的關(guān)系,因此此處用relationship。
【小題9】A 此處意思是:我被任命為系主任,故用appointed。
【小題10】D 由前文的“I worked for Dr. Offutt”可知我們的關(guān)系是師生,原來他是系主任,我是普通老師,現(xiàn)在我是系主任,他是普通老師,所以說我們的關(guān)系“再次”變化了,用again。
【小題11】D 本句意思是:我認(rèn)為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)一個系很有挑戰(zhàn)性,因此選D。
【小題12】C support“支持”。本句意思是:Dr. Offutt始終支持我。
【小題13】A 根據(jù)后文的“I needed his advice about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another  school”可知此處用advice, give sb. advice“給某人提建議”。 【小題14】D 所填詞位于句首,且后面有逗號,用副詞,意思應(yīng)為“而不是”,因此用instead。
【小題15】B 與前文的seize搭配,用opportunity(機(jī)會,良機(jī))。
【小題16】B 根據(jù)第一自然段中的“I‘m principal of the school now”,可知此處用principal(校長)。
【小題17】C 所填詞與空后的on構(gòu)成固定短語,意思是“依靠,取決于”,因此用depend。
【小題18】D 本句意思是:我從他那里學(xué)會優(yōu)秀的老師應(yīng)有的無盡的教學(xué)財富。故用endless(無盡的,無休止的)。

I think there is too much attention paid to sharing our work in workshops and giving each other feedbackI think there should be more time given to actual teaching, rather than to feedback from people who are at a similar level to me
