10、cared答案:D1. 提示:夫妇二人来到的地方是哈佛大学校长的，根据后文中提到了秘书，结合常识，应知他们到达的地方应是校长办公室的外间。2. 提示:从后文中的“keep waiting”与前文中的“without appointment”可推知他们应该被秘书挡住了。3. 提示:从“For hours, the secretary took no notice of them”及后文中的go away可知，秘书是希望他们走开。4. 提示:夫妇两人会因为等的时间过长而变得无望，从而自己走开。5. 提示:从文中可知秘书希望他们自己因无望而离开，但夫妇二人的坚持使之无奈地去找校长，自然，这样做是不情
11、愿的，故用unwillingly。6. 提示:从上下文中的没有预约，可知校长是不情愿地接见夫妇二人，脸色自然不好，态度不热情，故用cold“冷漠的”。7. 提示:从后文可知他们的儿子是在哈佛学习，应该用study in Harvard或attend Harvard。8. 提示:用clever或brave不符合上下文语境，用proud后需加of构成be proud of结构。因此可推知他们的孩子在哈佛生活、学习得很愉快，故用happy。9. 提示:为儿子建立一个纪念物。建立应用set up。set about开始做；take down取下；拿下；take over接收；接管。10. 提示:从文意

13、xclaim为“大声说”，因此排除laugh与shout。15. 提示:idea主意，概念；suggestion建议，提议；thought想法；opinion观点。根据语境应用idea。16. 提示:从上下文可知，那女子不说话了，校长认为能“get rid of them”，自然地，他会感到高兴。17. 提示:从上文 “We have spent over $7 500 000 on the campus building at Harvard.”可知，此处应是创办一所大学。18. 提示:上下文为因果关系，故用since。19. 提示:bear ones name“用的名字”。从常识也应该知道
