【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了我国春秋时期著名的教育家、政治家、哲学家孔子。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：今天，他被认为是世界上最伟大的老师之一。空处需填形容词作定语，结合“ne f the wrld’s”可知，使用形容词great最高级，修饰teachers。故填greatest。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：历史学家认为孔子出生于公元前551年，即中国的“春秋时代”（公元前771年—公元前476年）。根据空后的时间状语in 551 BCE during China’s “Spring and Autumn Perid”(771—476 BCE)可知，此处用所给动词的一般过去时；又因为动词bear与主语 Cnfucius之间存在动宾关系，故此处填一般过去时的被动语态，主语为单数概念，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填was brn。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：他们为统治者努力工作，但得到的报酬却很少。in return为固定搭配，意为“作为回报”。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：随着孔子的成长，他最喜欢的事情就是学习。修饰名词短语his favrite thing，需用动词不定式作后置定语。故填t d。
【40题详解】

【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：同上。空前的动词nticed和空后的动词ffered属于并列关系，在句中作谓语，需用连词and连接。故填and。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：孔子的一生都在游历，教导中国人民自律和教育的重要性。the rest f为固定搭配，意为“其余的”。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。定冠词the修饰名词，空处需填名词imprtance，作宾语。故填imprtance。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他甚至开办了中国的第一所学校，在那里他平等地对待穷人和富人。分析句子结构可知，此处引导的是一个限制性定语从句；从句缺少宾语，先行词为China’s first schl，指物，故填关系代词which，此处的in which相当于关系副词where。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：他的忠实弟子在他死后很长一段时间里继续周游中国，教导各个阶层的人。根据空前的all以及class为可数名词可知，此处用所给名词的复数形式。故填classes。
