3.B　细节理解题。根据JobResponsibilities部分中Locations:Online可知,教师要在网上授课,因此选B项。Passage2[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。人们通常认为适度饮酒有益于身体健康,并延长寿命,但新的研究表明,任何量的饮酒都对身体有害。1.B　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Asurprisinglylargenumberofstudiesinthereviewcontainedseriouserrors,thedoctornoted.‘Thesestudiesmakepeoplewhocontinuetodrinkappearhealthybycomparisonwithpeoplewhostopdrinkingforhealthreasons,’”可知,这些错误会让人们错误地认为喝酒有益于健康,因此B项正确。2.D　细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Dr.ChrisTuell,clinicaldirectorof...saidthefindingswerenotsurprising.‘Noamountofalcoholisgoodforyou,’hesaid.”可知,他建议人们不能喝酒,因此D项正确。3.C　词句猜测题。由本段中“sotheamountonepersondrinkscouldaffectthatpersonmuchdifferentlythanitwouldaffectsomeoneelse”可知一个人的饮酒量对这个人的影响和对其他人的影响大不相同。再根据画线词后面的becauseofgenetics可知,这里的意思是:有些人因为遗传而更容易受到影响,因此C项正确。4.D　标题判断题。文章第一段是本文的主旨段。先前的研究表明,适量饮酒可能对健康有一些好处,但一项新研究表明,情况可能并非如此。根据第三段“Theyfoundthatdrinkerswhoconsumedlessthananounceofethanol...showednosignificantincreaseinlifespancomparedtonon-drinkers.”可知,适量饮酒对身体也没有好处,并不能让人长寿,故选D项。Passage3[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。并非所有的大学的课程都是为了获得一个学位。美国多数大学要求学生选修一些课程以获得专业课以外的知识。北达科他大学的JeremyHolloway与印第安纳大学的RobertKunzman两位教师分别讨论了他们的选修课并发表了自己的观点,强调选修课对学生未来工作与生活的重要性。1.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Infact,mostuniversitiesrequirestudentstotakeelectiveclassesinordertogaingeneralknowledge.”可知,很多大学开设选修课的目的是拓宽学生的知识面,因此C项正确。2.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“ Holloway’sclasshelpsmedicalstudentsmakeconnectionswithelderlypeoplebysettingupin-personconversations.”可知,Holloway的课程通过建立面对面的对话,帮助医科学生与老年人建立联系。由此可推知D项正确。3.C　细节理解题。从第三段中的“RobertKunzmanteachesaboutlearningfromfailure.Theclassiscalled‘Failure:HowWeCanLearnfromIt’.”以及第四段中的“andtodevelopstrategiesthatallowustolearnfromthetimeswhenwefail,whenthingsdon’tworkout”可知,RobertKunzman选修课培养学生应对生活中出现的失败与风险的能力,因此C项正确。4.A　段落大意题。最后一段说,选修课程可以让学生思考一些重要的问题,这些问题对他们有一个有意义的职业生涯,对他们的社会和他们自己产生长期影响。最后一段的大意是选修课程的最终目的,因此A项正确。
