A
Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir(
回忆录) of Ralph W.Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.
Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.
Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.
Tyler became well-known in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from O-hio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robert Hutchins.
Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent(
独立的)spirit in their work.
Although Tyler officially retired in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (
目标)to develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.

A. Top managers.

The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modem hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives (
动机). One of them wrote:
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal' s own territory (
领地). You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing--not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears (
矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modem weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
48. There is no more hunting in India now partly because __________.
A. it is dangerous to hunt there
B. hunting is already out of date
C. hunters want to protect animals
D. there are few animals left to hunt
49. The author thinks modem hunters kill mainly __________.
A. to make the countryside safe
B. to earn people' s admiration
C. to gain power and influence
D. to improve their health
50. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A. They hunt old animals.
B. They mistreat animals.
C. They hunt for food.
D. They hunt for money.
51. What is the author' s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A. Modem hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face.
B. Modem hunters should use more advanced weapons.
C. Modem hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers.
D. Modem hunters should put their safety first.

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-
cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweetice cream--as well as for developing over 75 flavors (
味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job: after all, you just have to like ice cream, fight? No--there's more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 °F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice. cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it's time to taste !
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of
ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy--working at one "cool" job.
52. What is John Harrison' s job?
A. An official.
B. An ice-cream taster.
C. A chemist.
D. An ice-cream manufacturer.
53. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the "cool field", it is helpful to __________.
A. keep a diary of work
B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas every day
D. find out new flavors each day
54. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A. He stirs the ice cream.
B. He examines the color of the ice cream.
C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
55. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Tasting with Eyes.
B. Flavors of Ice Cream.
C. John Harrison' s Life.
D. One Cool Job.

Susan Sontag (1933--2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything--to read every book worth reading, and to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong watchwords (
格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasures of pop culture. In “Notes on Camp”, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “a victory of ' form' over ' con-
tent' , ' beauty' over ' morals'”.
By conviction(
信念) she was a sensualist(感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist (伦理学者) ,and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor--published in 1978, after she suffered cancer--she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities (被压抑的性格), a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.
In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending ... is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take itseriously too.
56. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means Sontag __________.
A. was a symbol of American cultural life
B. developed world literature, film and art
C. published many essays about world culture
D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture
57. She first won her name through __________.
A. her story of a Polish actress
B. her book Illness as Metaphor
C. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review
D. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
58. According to the passage, Susan Sontag __________.
A. was a sensualist as well as a moralist
B. looked down upon pop culture
C. thought content was more important than form
D. blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed
59. As for Susan Sontag' s lifelong habit, she __________.
A. misunderstood the idea of seriousness
B. re-examined old positions
C. argued for openness to pop culture
D. preferred morals to beauty
60. Susan Sontag' s lasting fame was made upon __________.
A. a tireless, all-purpose cultural view
B. her lifelong watchword: seriousness
C. publishing books on morals
D. enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeingⅣ．短文改错／
