Frank McCourt arrived in New York as a young, impoverished and【C2】______ Irish boy. He didn’t know what he wanted except to stop being hungry and to better himself.

Building his confidence and his determination, he talked his way into NYU and gained a literature【C5】______, and so began a teaching career that was to last 30 years, working in New York high school. Frank estimates that he【C6】______taught 12,000 children during this time and it is on this relationship between teacher and student that he reflects in Teacher Man, the third in his series of【C7】______.
The New York high school is a restless, noisy and unpredictable place and Frank believes that it was his【C8】______to control and persuade these thousands of children into learning and achieving something for themselves that turned him into a writer.

Frank McCourt was a【C10】______in such schools, long before he became the figure he is now.

选项
答案 D
解析 degree，语义题。根据词性，此处应当填入名词。根据下句中的so判断前句是因，后句是果，且后句意为“从此他开始了持续30年之久的教书生涯”，那么前提是他获得了文学学士学位。可选范围是certificate和degree，degree是指“学位”，比如bachelor’s degree，doctor’s degree；certificate则是指“证书”，偏向于纸面上的东西，比degree低一个层次。故选degree。
