Passage 4

16.【答案】C。

解析：推断题。题干：从这篇文章可以看出_____。根据文章开头第一句话This semester I began to have a series of teacher nightmares, something that had not happened to me for years, not since my first year of teaching when I was in a perpetual state of dread.可知“我”这个学期开始经常会做一些发生教学事故的噩梦，而这只在“我”教学生涯中时刻处于惊恐状态下的第一年出现过。因此可知C项在“我”开始教学的第一年经常充满恐惧，为正确答案。

17.【答案】D。

解析：细节题。题干：下列哪项陈述是正确的?根据文章第一段中间trying to gather up notes from a maelstrom of papers on my desk, not certain what subject we were covering today, indeed not even certain what course I was teaching.可知，“我”并没有认真备课，也不知道自己要讲些什么，故A、C项错误;根据I was late. I would not find my notes.可知B项错误;根据My heart was pounding可知D项正确。

18.【答案】A。

解析：推断题。题干：Mr. Winthrop是_____。根据全篇文章的内容可知这个学期开始，“我”时刻处于被上课教学所支配的恐惧中，害怕发生教学事故，害怕被学生嘲笑。根据文章中间内容only to have Mr. Winthrop raise his hand, and without even waiting to be called upon, presumably ask a question. Presumably because I could not make out his words.可知只有Mr. Winthrop上课举手回答问题，可能是问一个问题，可能是因为“我”听不懂他的问题。又根据后文内容Again, I ended the nightmare by fainting dead away onto the floor, and then I would wake up,“我”从梦中醒来。可知Mr. Winthrop是作者在梦里的学生，A项presumable与文中presumably是同义转换。故选A项“一个可能存在的学生”。

19.【答案】A。

解析：细节题。题干：在“我”的梦中，以下都会发生，除了_____。根据上一题解析可知B项正确，在“我”的梦里只有Mr. Winthrop提问题;根据原文Again, I ended the nightmare by fainting dead away onto the floor, and then I would wake up...可知噩梦结束之前我会晕倒在地上，C项正确;根据全文最后一句It was enough to make a man get out of bed and mix a drink at four in the morning even if he had the eight o’clock class.可知D项正确。题干要求选不正确项，故答案为A。

20.【答案】C。

解析：态度题。题干：整篇文章的基调是_____。根据整篇文章可知“我”对教学活动充满了恐惧与害怕且经常被噩梦所惊醒。因此整篇文章的基调是绝望不安的。provoking令人恼火的;sensational耸人听闻的;desperate绝望的;profound深厚的。故选C。
