D.Videotutors.答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。由ExploringEnglish:Shakespeare中的“ShakespeareanactorswillhelpusexploretheuniversalthemesinRomeoandJuliet,Hamlet,TheTempestandMacbeth”可知,莎士比亞筆下的演員將幫助我們探索《羅密歐與朱麗葉》《哈姆雷特》《暴風雨》和《麥克白》的共同主題。所以演員能幫助學(xué)生更好地理解莎士比亞戲劇的主題。故A選項正確。22.WhatcanpeoplelearnfromTheEuropeanDiscoveryofChina?A.China’sdiscoveryoftheWest.B.TheriseandfalloftheQingDynasty.C.TheimportanceoftheSilkRoad.D.China’sinterestinWesterntravellers.答案C解析推理判斷題。由TheEuropeanDiscoveryofChina中的“WewilllookatChina’splaceintheworldandconnectionstotheWestviatheSilkRoad,theriseofGenghisKhanandtheMongolEmpire,andfinallytheMingDynasty.”可知,我們將通過絲綢之路、成吉思汗和蒙古帝國的崛起,最后是明朝,來看看中國在世界上的地位和與西方的聯(lián)系。所以絲綢之路對于了解中國很重要,故判斷出人們能從TheEuropeanDiscoveryofChina的課程中學(xué)到絲綢之路的重要性。故C選項正確。23.Whatarethesubjectsoftheseonlinecourses?A.Scienceandhistory.B.Mediaandhealth.C.Natureandenvironment.D.Languageandculture.答案D解析細節(jié)理解題。由ReadingintheDigitalAge中的內(nèi)容及ExploringEnglish:Shakespeare和TheEuropeanDiscoveryofChina中的內(nèi)容可知這些網(wǎng)上課程的主題是語言和文化。故D選項正確。BWhatwouldyoudoifyoucouldseeintothefuture?Andmoreimportantly,whatwouldyoudoifyouweren’thappywithwhatyousaw?ThesearethequestionsexploredinDisney’smovie,Tomorrowland.Tomorrowlandtellsthestoryofawide-eyeddreamernamedCaseyasshefollowshercuriositydownapathofadventureanddanger.Whenastrangesignshowsanalternate(交替的)reality,Caseybeginsamagicaljourneyintoanotherworld.Asshestrugglestomakesenseofthisnewworld,CaseymeetsascientistnamedFrank.Togethertheycarryoutatasktouncoverthemysteriesofalandthatexistsbetweentimeandspace:Tomorrowland.
