[解析]
(1)细节理解题。根据第一段中I didn't know how my father would feel if he recovered consciousness and had a hole in his throat for the rest of his life.Ultimately,I declined.(我不知道如果我父亲恢复了意识,喉咙上有个洞,度过余生,他会作何感想。最终,我拒绝了)可知,作者拒绝父亲的咽喉手术是因为他不确定父亲手术后的感受。故选B项。
(2)细节理解题。根据第二段中The response was immediate and powerful.My connections with students deepened and I could instruct them on a new level.I changed nothing about the way I delivered course material,but student exam scores improved,as did my teaching evaluations.(学生的反应是迅速而有力的。我与学生的联系加深了,我可以在一个新的层次上指导他们。虽然我授课的方式没有变化,但学生的考试成绩提高了,我的教学评价也提高了)可知,在作者分享了的过去经历之后,他与学生之间的联系加深了,他能够在新的层次上指导学生,学生的考试成绩也有所提高。这表明学生在听了作者的分享后,对学习变得更加投入和进行了更积极的反应。故选C项。
(3)推理判断题。根据第三段Vulnerability is really hard.It involves sharing of yourself as fully as you are able to,including admitting wrongdoing and acknowledging that you can't always be your best self.Far from being a sign of weakness,it requires a ton of strength.(展现脆弱真的很难。它需要你尽自己所能充分地分享自己,包括承认错误和认识到自己并不总是处于最佳状态。这绝不是软弱的表现,而是需要巨大的勇气)可推知,作者想表达的是展现脆弱是一件困难的事情,但它不是软弱的表现,而是勇气的展示。故选C项。
(4)文章类型题。通读全文,尤其是结合第一段This experience made me even less willing to be vulnerable (脆弱的) and honest about my struggles of making big decisions.(这段经历让我更不愿意脆弱和诚实地面对自己在做重大决定时的挣扎)和最后一段Exposing your imperfections,connecting with students on a deeper level and creating space for them to grow will always be challenging,but it is worth it.I cannot know everything that is going on in every student's life,but I can always choose compassion.(暴露你的不完美,与学生建立更深层次的联系,为他们的成长创造空间,这总是具有挑战性的,但这是值得的。我不可能知道每一个学生生活中的每一件事,但我总是可以选择同情)可知,文章讨论了作者的个人经历和思考,内容侧重于个人经历、情感脆弱性和个人成长,这些都是生活故事或回忆录中的常见元素,所以本文是一则人生故事。故选D项。
