【答案与解析】

【要点综述】本篇文章为新闻报道类文体。文章报道了LibraryofBirmingham〔伯明翰图书

馆〕将会投巨资改建成一个全新的数字化图书馆的事情。

1．B词义推断题。通过分析单词所在的这个句子，可知its〔它的〕指代的是主句中的主语

“这个工程的〞，itsidea便是指theideaoftheproject。

2．A细节理解题。根据第6段第2句“Notonlyhavethepublicbeenabletolearnabout

LoB,butthevirtualonehasalsoenabledthoworkingontheLoBtounderstandthe

buildingandhowitwillworkbeforeitevenopens.〞可知答案为A。B、C、D说法均

有误。

3．A细节理解题。根据第4段“itisaboutgivingpeopletherighttoolsforlearning〞，

“whichcanbeudthroughmanydifferentways〞与第7段“inwhichurswillbe

encouragedtoaddtoandcommentonthematerial〞可知。

4．D推理判断题。文章首段便简明地概括了文章主题，全文表现较明显的与时性，这是新闻

类文体的典型特征，据此可判断文章应来源于一篇新闻报道。
