解答 38-41 ACDB
38．答案是A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題；根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句"The next step is to create an app that can solve the problem．（下一步創(chuàng)造一個(gè)計(jì)算機(jī)應(yīng)用程序解決這個(gè)問題）"推斷答案是A．
39．答案是C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題；由文章第二段中"Teams that make it to the next round receive﹩5，000 for their schools．（成功進(jìn)入下一輪的團(tuán)隊(duì)為學(xué)校贏得5000美元）"和"The top eight teams receive an additional﹩15，000 for their schools最好的8個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)每隊(duì)為學(xué)校額外獲得15000美元"推斷獲勝隊(duì)總計(jì)為學(xué)校獲得20000美元，故答案是C．
40．答案是D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題；根據(jù)第三段"T he app was designed to help visually impaired （受損的） students navigate （導(dǎo)航） their school．這個(gè)程序的目的在于幫助視力受損的學(xué)生導(dǎo)航去學(xué)校"推斷該程序的目的是幫助視力弱的人，故選D．
41．答案是B．主旨大意題；文章介紹了一個(gè)程序競(jìng)賽--the Verizon App Challenge參賽規(guī)則、獲獎(jiǎng)情況，并提供截止時(shí)間和具體網(wǎng)址，呼吁更多的學(xué)生參加，故答案是B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀要在整體理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上，在做細(xì)節(jié)題時(shí)根據(jù)題干定位細(xì)節(jié)，在語(yǔ)境中正確理解原句，然后對(duì)照選項(xiàng)做出合理的判斷；必要的時(shí)候要進(jìn)行推理，透過句子表面看作者的真正意圖．如果是主旨大意的判斷要把握文章整體，避免以偏概全．
