解答 47.A.理解題.根據(jù)文意The show's host,84-year-old Mac McGarry,who has hosted"It's Academic"since the beginning可知84歲Mac McGarry從一開始就主持It's Academic,及Sophie was a TV producer in the 1950s,Sophie在19世紀50年代接受任務(wù),可以推測出It's Academic已有50 的歷史了,所以答案是A.
48.D.理解題.根據(jù)文意Sophie was a TV producer in the 1950s.She started"It's Academic"afterlocal school officials asked her to create a program that showed outstanding students可知Sophie在19世紀50年代的時候是一電視節(jié)目的制片人,它創(chuàng)辦It's Academic是因為它接到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的任務(wù)創(chuàng)辦一個可以展示學(xué)生才能的節(jié)目,所以答案是D.
49.C.理解題.根據(jù)文意When we first started,the young people from various countries were not evident so much.Now,each program presents young people from all over the world,at least descendants(后裔) from people all over the world可知剛開始創(chuàng)辦的時候來自各國的人們并不突出,現(xiàn)在來自世界各地的人們前來參加節(jié)目,可知現(xiàn)在的參賽隊伍又很大的不同,所以答案是C.
50.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段They are full of enthusiasm.I really have to become more active to keep up with them可知Mac McGarry認為這項欄目很有激情,使她變得很積極,暗含之意有一顆年輕的心就不會老,希望能后繼續(xù)自己的工作,所以答案是B.
