第二节： 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

I arrived in the classroom , ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students　 who would be my English literature class. Having taught in 　21　 for 17 years , I had no 　22 about my　 ability to hold their　 attention　 and to 　23 　on them my admiration for the literature of　 my mother tongue .

I was shocked when the monitor shouted , “24　 　!”

The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 　25 　about how to get them to sit down again , but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly　 　26 　my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture , sure to gain their respect-perhaps　 27 　their admiration . I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement .

My students 　28 　diaries .However , as I read them , the rosy glow was gradually 　29 　by a strong sense of sadness . The first diary said , “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.　 　30　 　her next lecture will be better .” Greatly surprised , I read diary after diary , each expressing a (n)　 　31 　theme . “Didn’t I teach them anything ? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical　 　32　 　for all the works we’ll study in class ,” I complained . “How 　33　 　they say I didn’t teach them anything ?”

It was a long term , and it　 　34 　became clear that my ideas about　 　35　 were not the same as those of my students . I thought a teacher’s job was to raise　 　36 　questions and provide enough background so that students could 　37　 their own conclusions . My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 　38　 information as directly and clearly as possible . What a difference !

39 , I also learned a lot , and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 　40 American teacher , knowing how to teach in a different culture .
