【回答】

篇章導讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述了“我”在大二學的免費課程——下棋，並講述了它對“我”生活的指導意義。

1.B　根據上文的“a ‘free’ course”和下文“誰不想省下幾美元”推斷，作者迫不及待地接受了上課的念頭。jump at意為“迫不及待地接受”，符合語境。

2.C　此處和上文的“a ‘free’ course”呼應，指能省錢。save “節省”，符合語境。

3.A　根據上文可知，作者對免費上課能拿學分這件事很感興趣，而且他想學*象棋。此句是even if引導的讓步狀語從句，因此選擇excited，表示即使對免費的學分不激動，教練也足以吸引他。

4.D　此處是指*象棋課程的教練(instructor)。

5.D　此空格後是對上文“an international grandmaster”的進一步解釋說明，mean (that) ... 意為“意味著”，符合語境。

6.C　根據上文“教練是*象棋大師”可知，作者能師從這個專案頂尖人物，故選擇best，意為“最好的人 (或事物)”，符合語境。

7.B　根據上文，教練是*象棋大師，作者能從中受益良多，因此作者迫不及待地想見到他，故選擇meet。

8.D　根據上文的“returning to teach”可知，教練回到母校任職。job “工作”，符合語境。

9.C　introduction一詞提示教練向大家講清楚學分不好掙。clear “清楚的”，符合語境。

10.B　根據下文的“criteria”以及“write a paper”可知，此處是說如何順利學完課程。pass “通過”，符合語境。

11.C　“what we would learn in class”和“our future professions”形成對比，把課堂所學應用於未來的職業中。apply sth. to sth.意為“把某事物應用於某事物”，符合語境。

12.A　把課堂所學應用於職業中，最終再應用於生活中，因此選擇eventually。

13.C　此處指作者的該課程(course)得了A。文章第一段的“a ‘free’ course”亦有提示。

14.B　根據下文“作者把課堂所學用於人生”可知，作者學到的已經遠遠超越了課堂的範圍。

15.A　下文內容都是教練在課上教(taught)給作者的。

16.D　作者學習的是*象棋，再根據下文對下*象棋的描述推斷此處是在講最重要的技巧(skill)。

17.B　根據下文“下每一步棋你都要分析”推斷，此處表示最為重要的是作出明智的決定(decisions)。

18.A　此處是講下棋時每一步都要分析(analyze)局勢，考慮對手的下法。
