【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 回電話?？偟炔坏诫娫挼淖髡咦兊貌荒蜔┝?，對著電話大吼。他的妻子聽到后，便將電話機扔進了垃圾箱，說是電話惹他生氣了。作者從妻子的舉動中突然有所醒悟，感覺自己不應該發(fā)火，最后耐心地等待并等到了電話，而且還心平氣和地和對方交談。56．B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段可知，“我”對著電話大吼是因為等“我”的經(jīng)紀人(agent)的電話等得不耐煩了，對經(jīng)紀人感到很生氣。因此B項與原文內(nèi)容相符。57．D。細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段內(nèi)容可知，聽到“我”的怒吼后，“我”的妻子將電話機扔進了垃圾箱。58．A。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第二、三句話“I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone？”可知，作者是笑自己失控的行為。59．B。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，作者的妻子聽到作者的吼叫聲后，做了一些很古怪的事情，如將電話機扔進垃圾箱、對著屋子里的東西喊話等。而正是她的這些古怪的行為讓作者突然意識到了自己的失控。由此可推知B項正確。B(2007全國Ⅰ)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 nationally 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(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.

Early estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) show that 963 million people did not get enough to eat.World food prices have dropped since early 2008. Prices of major crops have decreased by more than half from their height earlier last year. But they remain high pared to earlier years.But FAO official Hafez Ghanem says lower prices have failed to end the food crisis(危機) in many poor countries. “For millions in developing countries，” he says, “getting enough food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream.”The FAO says food shortage is a threat to people’s health. Today, two－thirds of the world’s undernourished people live in just a few countries. These are India, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Ethiopian and so on.A report on food insecurity warns that the current economic crisis could send even more people into hunger and poverty.In sub－Saharan Africa, the percentage of the people who continually go hungry fell from 34% in 1997 to 30% in 2008. But the FAO says Ghana is the only country that has reached two sets of hunger reduction targets. These were set by the 1996 World Food Summit and the Millennium Development Goals. The main reason is the growth in agricultural production in Ghana.The FAO says some countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand and Vietnam have made progress in hunger reduction goals. But South Asia and Central Asia haven’t, and North Korea is still in hot wat
