解析:

本文是一篇以介绍一种“半人半兽”的生物Yeti为主要内容的说明文。主要介绍了其特征、居住地以及关于它的传说故事。1、2、10、11、12、14、20题偏重于考查对文章内容的理解;3、6、8、9、18、19题考查词汇(包括词组、动词、名词)的辨析;4、7、13、15、16、17题要求根据文章内容判断适当的副词(短语);第5题考查连词。

1. B  后文叙述的是关于Yeti的传说故事,故选story。

2. D  从1920年开始被发现,至今应有“许多年了”。

3. C  当地人称这种生物为Yeti,肯定是“知道”它以及关于它的事。

4. A  “抓住”比“知道”更进一步,用even表示强调程度的加深。

5. B  “曾经抓到”与“没有证据”之间为转折关系,即“虽然……但是……”。

6. D  第二段讲述了关于Yeti的一个传说故事,后文中将有新的介绍。故可知“故事”在“继续”。

7. D  Shipton相信这些“脚印”不简简单单为“猴子”或“熊”的脚印,故选simply。

8. C  felt与believed是并列的谓语动词,意为“感觉到”。

9. A  Shipton感觉这种动物可能真的存在。

10. B  人们发现的仅仅是“更多”的脚印。

11. C  许我人相信这些脚印只不过是那些普通动物(比如猴子或熊)留下的。

12. B  “普通的脚印”看起来不“普通”,是因为其在雪里融化而变“大”了。

13. D  前文介绍了一些人脚印的判断,而后文是一位俄国科学家的新发现。故判断出两部分之间应用 however转折。

14. B  real意为“真的,存在的”。

15. C  前面提到过,当地人的发现和传说没有证据可依,这一次“又”是如此。

16. B  没有证据被实际记载。

17. C  take … seriously意为“把……当回事(严肃认真对待)”。

18. A  succeed in doing意为“成功地做成某事”。

19. D  face a problem意为“面临问题”。    

20. A  前文提到这种生物“半人半兽”,那么如果人们真的抓住一个,将面临的问题是:把它放到动物园(当它是动物?)还是在旅馆里给它一个房间(当它是人?)

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 nationality 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 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)that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools. 68. Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler’s memoir?

A. Top managers.                              B. Language learners.

C. Serious educators.                 D. Science organizations.

69. The words “hooked oh teaching” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean ________.

A. attracted to teaching                      B. tired of teaching

C. satisfied with teaching                    D. unhappy about teaching

70. Where did Tyler work as the leader of a research center for over 10 years?

A. The University of Chicago.             B. Stanford University.

C. Ohio State University.                    D. Nebraska University.
