26、requirement “必需品”。2D像大多数数学和科学课程出众的学生一样，“我”发现人们鼓励(encouraging)“我”以后成为一名工程师。appoint“任命，安排”；force “迫使”；allow “允许，准许”。3B根据下文中的“and two terms of her classes made me fall in love with Biology”可知，此处填入的词在范畴上应与classes一致，故lecture“讲座”符合语境。4D根据语境可知，此处指坐等教授(professor)的到来。agent “代理人，经纪人”；volunteer “志愿者”；host“主人，节
27、目主持人”。5A根据上文可知，坐等教授时，“我”以为即将来上课的老师就如同电视节目中看到的那样古板、严肃，但后来“我”发现她是一位体贴且富有热情的老师。故先前想象的与实际见到的完全相反(opposite)。traditional “传统的”；typical “典型的”；similar “相似的”。6A她令人振奋的课使“我”意识到(realise)，除了成为一名工程师(engineer)，“我”还可以从事生物学研究。7D参见上题解析。第一段中的“to be an engineer”是暗示。8B根据第6题的解析可知，作者意识到自己还可以从事生物学的研究，即向生物研究方向发展。biological
28、research指“生物研究”。9C由于Dr. Espinoza和许多其他像她一样的教授的影响，“我”发现科学家并非像我们在“国家地理”频道上了解到(learn about)的那样。take care of “照顾”；make fun of “取笑”；learn about “了解”；search for “寻找”。10B这引领着“我”去寻找做真正的科学研究项目的机会(opportunities)并看一下“我”是否喜欢(enjoyed)它。concept “概念，观念”；faith “信任，信仰”；ambition “夙愿，抱负”。11A下文中的loved是提示。doubt“怀疑”；recom
29、mend “推荐，建议”；acknowledge“承认，感谢”。12C在大学里，“我”学到了如何问好的问题，如何做(conduct)实验和收集数据，以及如何和别人分享“我”了解到的东西。conduct experiments “做实验”，为固定用法。13D结果是(turned out)，“我”喜欢科学研究的每一分钟。come about“发生，造成”；break up“粉碎，破碎”；set off“出发，动身”。14D虽然成为科学家之路是耗时的(slow)，但一路上有很多老师和教授给“我”引路(showed me the way)。15Bshow me the way给“我”引路。promise “答应，允诺”；show “展示”；leave “离开”；award “授予”。
