6.Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回憶錄)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 Ohio 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 twelve years.There,he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent (獨立的)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 (目標)that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.

16.Hi,Nancy!Thank you for writing to me.I enjoy getting letters from students in China and I'll be happy to exchange letters with you.
The first thing I want to tell you is that if the boys are calling you names it is their fault,not yours.Boys,at your age,are different from girls.They are trying to prove that they are manly and they often do this by choosing someone who can't really fight back.This is,of course,wrong but it happens and it is generally referred to as bullying.In general,the boys know they are bigger and stronger than you are,so they can make fun of you and make you cry and then laugh about it.If you let them see that they are hurting you,they will only do it more.It isn't that they want to hurt you; they simply want to make themselves feel superior.It's stupid but it is very common.
The best way of getting the boys to stop calling you names is to simply ignore them,knowing that the names can't hurt you and that the boys are being stupid.If you can laugh at them,they will get tired of trying to make you cry.Then they will give up and begin to notice you as a young woman.I suspect some of them actually like you and are laughing at you just to get your attention.Again,it's stupid but it happens.In reality,you can control this situation by not letting them see you getting hurt.Laugh at them,tell them they are acting like children and they should grow up and then walk away with your head held high.
One more thing,Nancy.It is very important that you stop hurting yourself.If someone else hurts you it is bad enough but you shouldn't make it worse by then hurting yourself.Even sticking a pen into your finger can cause an infection and give you a lot of trouble and besides,it hurts.The next time you are frustrated by a bunch of stupid boys,write to me.You and I can talk about anything you like,about China,about Canada,about travel,anything.Having a conversation with me is better than sticking holes in your fingers,as least I hope it is.
I wish you all the best and I hope to hear from you again soon.If you get a chance,please send me your picture.
Best wishes.
Brad

55.Which of the following is not the reason why boys make fun of Nancy?A

B.They want to prove they are manly
C.They want to make themselves feel superior
D.Some boys like Nancy and want to get her attention

A.to pity a weaker person
B.to frighten or hurt a weaker person
C.to learn from a weaker person
D.to help a weaker person
57.According to Brad's advice,the next time the boys call Nancy names,she should do the following exceptD.
A.to ignore them
B.to laugh at them
C.not to let them see her getting hurt

17.The sky was completely dark,the house was creaking(吱吱響),and I still had four hours until my parents got home.Locked in my parents'room,I turned on the TV at full volume so I wouldn't hear the creaking house.
I barely heard the phone ring.I picked it up and said,"Hello…h(huán)ello..?"but there was no response.I knew someone was on the other end.Finally,I hung up.A few minutes later,the phone rang again; still no one was there.I became more frightened as time passed; the same person called five more times.
At this point I didn't bother picking up,but the ringing continued.To get my mind off this caller,I called my friend.She told me not to worry and to turn the phone off.As we talked,I heard someone pull into the driveway.When I peeked out (探出) of the window,I saw an unfamiliar car.
Thirty minutes passed and the car was still in my driveway.It drove up and down the driveway.My friend told me to call the police,but I refused.

At this point I was considering calling the police,but my friend offered to drive by."Maybe if they see me pull in,they will leave,"she suggested.By the time she arrived,the car had left.The phone rang again and I picked up,thinking it might be my friend.Someone on the other end said,"Bye-bye."

11.A cat is recovering in California after surviving a 6,500-mile journey across the Pacific stowed inside a Chinese shipping container without food or water.Staff and volunteers have named it"Ni Hao,"which is Chinese for"hello."
It was discovered breathing shallowly after a two-week trip across the Pacific Ocean.The cat was seriously suffering from loss of water and starvation when the container was opened in California last week,but was said to be doing well after being sent to the Carson Animal Care Center in Los Angeles.At first it was too weak to stand,but finally took its first steps.Then it ate a good meal and slept soundly.The cat woke up Thursday morning,physically in a better condition than 24 hours ago.
"Ni Hao greeted the medical team with its first miaow this morning and is attempting to stand,"said Marcia Mayeda,head of the Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control.Aaron Reyes,director of the Department,added:"We finally got to hear its voice.It sounds like a single-engine plane."
Ni Hao is expected to be observed for 60 days but afterwards animal workers will look forward to providing it with a good shelter."It's much better for it to recover in a home environment,"Mr Reyes said."It's just like a human being in a hospital so we're hoping to move it."He added:"Little by little we're getting there.We're hoping that under the treatment and with rest,it'll be able to recover quickly.''
It was not immediately clear how the cat got into the container.

16.It is not a good idea to interrupt the actor Richard Griffiths in the middle of a play.During the past year he has stopped performances at the National Theatre when mobile phones have gone off,and he threw one member of the audience out of a West End play for failing to switch off his phone.
So when a mobile rang out for the third time during his performance as Hector,a teacher,in Alan Bennett's The History Boys at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York,he spoke angrily:"I am not going to compete with these electronic devices".
Griffiths'actions led a debate in the UK theatre world over whether phones should be forbidden by law from British theatres,too.Actors are already asking the government to legalise (使合法化) the use of electronic screening (屏蔽) devices to block mobile phone signals from theatres.
Technology companies market"blocking"devices that send out a high-powered signal on the same frequency (頻率) as a mobile phone,occupying all the available spectrums (頻譜).
But these are forbidden in many countries because they might prevent emergency calls from being made.
Rosemary Squire,president of the Society of West End Theatre and co-founder of the Ambassador Theatre Group,which operates 12West End theatres,said,"Phones are one of the biggest operational problems theatres face.We should look for equipment that could block phones or make a London-wide theatre rule."
Nick Allott,the managing director of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's theatre group,said,"We would all welcome some ways of preventing ringing phones,but doctors and emergency workers need to be paged in a theatre and we mustn't prevent that."

47.The first two paragraphs are written toC.
A.tell us why Griffiths was angry
B.blame Griffiths for his bad behavior
C.introduce the topic the passage will talk about
D.a(chǎn)dvise us to turn off the mobile phones in public places
48.According to the passage,"blocking"devicesB.
A.have the same functions as mobile phones
B.prevent the mobile phones being used properly
C.cause the biggest problem theatres have to face
D.help make emergency calls
49.The underlined word"paged"in the last paragraph can be replaced byC.
A.prevented   
B.protected    
C.called      
D.forbidden
50.What will probably be talked about following the last paragraph?C
A.Griffiths'next performance in theatres.
B.The ways to solve the problem the public places face.
C.The opinions the public have about the problem.
D.The damage mobile phones result in.
