There was no one quite like my father. When any other man had an extra dollar, he bought a drink; when Father had an extra dollar, he bought a book. Other people had pictures on their walls, or at least a calendar; we had books, 3000 of them, 【1】 (line) every surface of our little four-room house 【2】 every subject. Father was the 【3】 (more) persistent (固执的) scholar I ever knew. Every summer he took a month or so off to attend classes. Eventually, he earned seven degrees, attended 11 different colleges and universities. My sister and I were the immediate beneficiaries of Father’s insatiable (不能满足的) 【4】 (hungry) to learn.

Before I was three, my father was reading aloud to me. Thereafter, I read aloud to him so he’d work on my 【5】 (pronounce). By the time I was in the fifth grade, I’d recite 【6】 classical literature to poetry and had to be prepared to do 【7】. Then Father would warn by quoting a saying from Shakespeare, “【8】 all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious(乏味的) as to work. “Obviously, his efforts weren’t 【9】 (entire) in vain, for my voice has enable me to earn a fair livelihood. But that fact doesn’t begin to define the most debt 【10】 I owe my father.

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】lining 考查非谓语动词。句意：我们有书，3000本书铺满了我们四个小房间的每个地方。line（在某物的内部）形成一层，排队，排列成行。

【2】on 考查介词。on every subject关于每个学科。

【3】most 考查最高级。句意：爸爸是我认识的最固执的学者。the most persistent 最固执的。

【4】hunger 考查名词。句意：我的妹妹和我是父亲对知识渴望的直接受益者。

【5】pronunciation 考查名词。句意：后来，我大声读给他听，这样的话他就能纠正我的发音。

【6】from 考查介词。句意：到我五年级时，从古典文学到诗歌我都能吟诵。from... to...从……到……。

【7】so 句意：到我五年级时，从古典文学到诗歌我都能吟诵而且不得不时刻准备这么做。to do so去做，就这么做。

【8】If 考查连词。句意：假如我们终年游乐如假日；运动可能就像工作一样单调无聊。

【9】entirely 考查副词。句意：显然，他的努力没有完全白费。entirely修饰后面的介词短语in vain。

【10】that 考查定语从句关系代词。定语从句先行词debt被最高级the most修饰，故关系代词用that。
