答案：

解题导语：青春期的作者有一次与父亲发生冲突，但在教授的“thought card”的启发下，作者慢慢地走出了青春期叛逆的心境，最终走向了成功。

1.C　解析：“我”必须承认，大学一年级时“我”仍是一个愤青。adolescent“青少年”，文中的第一句话已经给出了提示。

2.B　解析：根据上文“I was still an angry __1__ in my first year of college”可知，“我”生气是因为“我”的父母让“我”不高兴。

3.A　解析：由下文可知，“我”经常乘公交车上学，因此此处表示“我们家的经济不宽裕”，故选A项。

4.C　解析：我们家的经济条件不宽裕，因此“我”选择去上“当地的”一所大学，每天乘公交车去上学。ordinary意为“普通的”;private意为“私人的”;local意为“当地的”;state意为“政府的，州的”。

5.A　解析：由后文中的“We both exploded into shouts.”可知，“我与父亲发生了一次严重的(serious)争吵”。故选A项。

6.A　解析：由语境可知，“我”和父亲发生冲突之后，“气冲冲地走”出了屋子。storm意为“气冲冲地走”;wander意为“游荡，漫游，闲逛”;slip意为“滑倒”;step意为“迈步”。

7.C　解析：由空格前的“I rushed all the way to school.”可知，“我”跑(ran)向教室。leap意为“跳跃”;walk意为“步行”;head意为“朝(某个方向)行进”。

8.B　解析：教授布置的任务就是我们要在每周二带来自己的“thought card”，写上自己的姓名、日期、想法、问题或者其他事情。assignment“任务”，符合语境，故选B项。

9.D　解析：参见上题解析。take up意为“开始从事，继续，占据”;put down意为“镇压，放下”;hand out 意为“分发”;bring along意为“带上，带来”。

10.C　解析：卡片上要写姓名、日期，至于余下的部分，可以写想法、问题或其他事情。due to 意为“由于， 归功于”;regardless of意为“不管，不顾”;as for意为“至于”;thanks to 意为“幸亏，由于”。

11.B　解析：作者刚与父亲发生冲突，又忘记带教授布置的作业，因此应是“绝望地”在上面写了一些东西。故选B。

12.D　解析：由上文中的“One day I had a(n) __5__ fight with my father.”可知，此处应选D项。

13.C　解析：根据语境可知，此处应该是“冲进”教室，故选C项。dash意为“猛冲，急奔”。

14.A　解析：第二天，教授归还了我们的卡片。give back 意为“归还”;check out 意为“结账离开”;put away 意为“将……收起”;pass on意为“转交，递给”。

15.C　解析：教授归还了卡片，“我”发现(discovered)教授写的话。故选C项。

16.A　解析：教授看似平淡的问题“唤醒”(awoke)了“我”。

17.A　解析：根据空格后的“my thinking began to shift”可知，作者的想法“慢慢地”改变了。

18.B　解析：此处应该是“in which”引导的定语从句，在从句中作状语，先行词为“life”。

19.A　解析：成长的“过程”既不容易，也不快。

20.D　解析：由上文可知，成长过程时间长，而作者后来又成为一位成功的老师，故此处选D项。
