解析

小题1:根据I had a very cynical (愤世嫉俗的) view of life and the world around me对社会不满当然对自己工作也不满意，故选 B。小题2:better动词“变得更好”，因为上文说对生活不满，所以作者感觉试图把自己的生活或周围人的生活变好了也是没有意义的，故选C。小题3:convince sb to do sth说服某人去做某事；根据I entered Long Beach City College故选 A。小题4:因为后面有in history指的是作着继续攻读历史学位故选 A。小题5:instructor教师，讲师。根据Last term I took a political science class.既然由于上课受到的影响，那么肯定是教师影响的作者，故选D。小题6:因为后面有in the Air Force所以指的是Dr. Rock曾经在空军服役，故选 B。小题7:因为When I asked another instructor根据句意后面应该用Why故选 C。小题8:angrily生气地；hurriedly匆忙地； nervously紧张地； simply简单地，仅仅，直率地，坦白地；根据句意故选D。小题9:从上一自然段可以知道作者向其他老师打听他的老师Dr. Rock的情况说这么优秀的老师为什么会在这么小的学校，说明作者对老师的情况感兴趣，所以又去问Dr. Rock本人，故选A。小题10:根据I had a very cynical (愤世嫉俗的) view of life and the world around me上文提到作者不满现在的生活，而这位老师的一席话彻底改变了他的生活，故选C。小题11:remember记住；reach影响；watch观看；calm镇静。句意：他告诉我通过在大学里工作他能够影响各种各样的学生将来在社会上有所贡献。根据句意故选B。小题12:make a promi许诺； make a decision做决定； make a difference有影响，其重要作用； make a choice做出选择，根据句意故选C。小题13:with the right motivation and support“在激励和支持下”是固定搭配故选D。小题14:Dr. Rock向作者解释说他为什么要选择在市内的大学工作，故选B小题15:showed the  most  promi and cared deeply for their education显示出最有希望和深深地对教育的关心，根据句意故选A。小题16:force sb to do sth强迫某人做某事； warned sb to do sth警告某人做某事；encourage sb to do sth鼓励某人做某事； invitesb to do sth邀请某人做某事。根据句意故选C。小题17:老师鼓励我们尽我们能做的去参加社区的任何活动，根据句意故选A。小题18:我认为我是唯一一个受Dr. Rock影响最大的人，故选D。小题19:根据I thought that I was the   58  one that was affected by his lessons 这句话说的作者自身的变化，进而又提到整个班级的变化，故选B。小题20:appeal to呼吁； make for导致；  turn to转向； care about关心。Dr. Rock老师教导我们如何去关心国家、社区及个人，故选D。点评：本文叙述了起初作者对社会的不满，但在他的大学教授的帮助下变成了一个有爱心关心他人并对生活充满希望的人。它既考查对语法,词汇,习语,句型,搭配等基础知识的综合运用能力，又考查对短文的阅读理解能力。其中包括在具体的语境中灵活运用语言知识的能力，根据试题内容进行正确的逻辑推理，综合判断和分析概括的能力。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
