41.解析：这是一道细节题。根据第一段中的“Musicians often called him Pops,as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.”和第三段中的“In his late teens,Armstrong began to live the life of a musician...Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.”可判断出Armstrong之所以被称之为Pops是因为他是具有影响的音乐家。
42. 解析：这是一道推断题。短文的第三段讲述了Armstrong在童年是显露出音乐天赋、在青少年开始过着音乐家的生活、以后成名，由此可推断出这一段是按时间顺序写作的。
43. 解析：这是一道正误判断题。根据最后一段中的“His cornet playing had a deep humanity and warmth that caused many listeners to say,‘Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.’”可判断出选项C是正确的。
44. 解析：这是一道标题选择题。这篇短文讲述了Armstrong成为爵士乐之父的过程，短文的最后一段中的“He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world.”点明了这篇短文的主题，所以最好的题目应该是：The Father of the Jazz Style

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?

B. Stanford University.
C. Ohio State University. D. Nebraska University. 答案 68. C 69. A 70. B
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。

第5题(2016年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语湖南卷)
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 ,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 poor-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‘content’,‘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 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 it seriously too.

B. re-examined old positions D. preferred morals to beauty
75.Susan Sontag’s lasting fame was made upon___________-. A. a tireless, all-purpose cultural view C. publishing books on morals seeing
答案 71—75：DDABA
71．解析：这是一道推断题。从句子本意是“Sontag走在世界文学最晚的边界”，从时间上来讲，“最晚的发生的”意思是“最新的发生的”；而且的一段前面也讲到Sontag努力跟上文学、电影和艺术的新发展。因此，本句含义是“Sontag跟上世界文学最新发展的步伐”。
B. her lifelong watchword ：seriousness
D. enjoying books worth reading and movies worth
