Answer 1

68. C 69. A 70. B 71. C

68. 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第一段“Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir of Ralph W.Tyler,”得知关心学校和大学教育的人会对Tyler的回忆录感兴趣。 69. 解析:这是一道词义猜测题。根据第二段“...Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.”可知他原来的专业是药学,在South Dakota 做科学教师时被吸引到教育行业。 70. 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第五段“Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford,a position he held for fourteen years”可以推断出他在Stanford University领导研究工作长达十年以上。 71. 解析:这是一道推断题。根据最后一段“Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives...”可以推断出他退休后还在指导其他教师,所以说他没有真正退休。
