.1. 解析：选B。就在30年前作者在此上第—节课。根据常识可知学校的开学时间与开学第一节课的相同。所以结合the opening day和the first day of classes也可以推断出选B。
2. 解析：选A。由文意可知，当时Dr Offutt是作者的老师，所以应向学生“解释”他们将要学习的内容。
3. 解析：选D。 (that/which)they would take是定语从句，修饰先行词the journey。take the journey是固定搭配，表示“去旅行”。
4．解析：选C。根据but一词可知，作者虽然身为校长，可当年并不知未来如何。
5. 解析：选D。他不仅教作者思考，而且以大量事例让作者“信服”。根据下文中的as much by example可知，是举例让作者相信他的话。
6．解析：选A。他不但用“话语”进行教育，还辅之以例证。此处与前面的taught相呼应。
7. 解析：选C。这么做并且为“别人”服务是作者的道义责任，此处表示泛指“其他人”。
8. 解析：选A。根据第下文中our relationship changed可判断出，选A。
9. 解析：选B。几年后，作者被“任命”为系主席。此处name作动词，表示 “任命；提名”。
10. 解析：选D。第一段开头部分提到作者当时是Dr Offutt的学生，根据上文中的“I worked for Dr Offutt”可知，作者已是教师，而此处又提到作者被提拔，由此可知二人之间的关系 “又”发生了改变。
11. 解析：选D。根据文意可知，作者认为管理这个系的工作极具“挑战”性。
12．解析：选C。根据but一词可知，Dr Offutt自始至终“支持”作者。
13. 解析：选A。上文提到作者很茫然，不知所措，由此可知他给作者提供“建议”。
14. 解析：选D。根据文意可知，如果他当初让作者留在DeMatha，作者也许会这么做。“然而”他鼓励作者接受新的使命。
15. 解析：选B。本段第一句提到作者即将出任另一所学校的校长，由此可知这是一次“机会”。
16．解析：选B。此处与上文中“I'm the principal of the school now...”相呼应。故选B。
17. 解析：选C。上文提到作者遇到困难时他总是提供帮助和支持，由此可判断选C。depend on依靠。
18. 解析：选D。句意为：伟大的老师有“取之不尽的”课程资源财富。
19. 解析：选B。此处表示让步关系，表示“即使；纵然”。句意表示虽然学生还不知道，可作者早已明白。
20. 解析：选A。作者认为学生拥有良师无比“幸运”，因为作者对Dr Offutt这样的优秀老师永远铭记在心。

????????????? Lee Millington, a creative-writing student
I choose the courses because of its reputation．There is a lack of one-to-one teaching．I would like personalized feedback from an expert in my field of writing．Some of the lectures have been quite helpful but they try to use too many different styles of writing．For example, if you want to be a poet, you might find that the lectures focus too much on novels．
I think there is too much attention paid to sharing our work in workshops and giving each other feedback．I think there should be more time given to actual teaching, rather than to feedback from people who are at a similar level to me．
????????????? Reporters from Hounsdown Secondary School, Ella, 16
When I work independently, I feel I have more freedom to develop my ideas and come up with more original viewpoints．The price of university will still be worth it to get the qualifications （资格证书） necessary for better jobs．
