這是一篇廣告類應用文。文章主要介紹了國家大劇院的購票方式、會員服務(wù)、教育活動的種類、場次安排、費用等信息。
1. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中關(guān)于BOX OFFICE的介紹,“9:30PM-18:00PM for days without performances”表明在沒有演出的當天觀眾也可以提前購買其他場次的票,由此可知,當天有沒有演出只是工作人員的上班時間不同,并不影響觀眾購票。故選D。
2. 綜合分析題。國家大劇院的會員服務(wù)包括:享受購票折扣、優(yōu)先提前預定、積分兌換服務(wù)、專場演出觀賞權(quán)益。會員并不享有訂票后延遲付款的權(quán)利,故選A。
3. 綜合分析題。根據(jù)“Tickets for all sessions of education activities in the next quarter will be available on the first Monday of the last month of every quarter.”可知,每個季度周末音樂賞析活動的票需要在上個季度的最后一個月的第一個星期一購買。由此可知,在3月份,觀眾可以買到下個季度經(jīng)典藝術(shù)講座的票,故選D。

Tokyo 2020 Olympics officially postponed until 2021
The International Olympic committee(IOC), The International Paralympic Committee(IPC), the Tokyo 2020 Organising(IPC), The Tokyo 2020 Organising committee, The Tokyo metropolitan government and the government of Japan today agreed new dates for the games of the XXXII Olympiad, in 2021. The Olympic games Tokyo 2020 will be celebrated from 23 July to 8 August 2021. They also agreed on new dates for the Paralympic Games, which will be celebrated from 24 August until 5 September 2021.
The leaderships of the key parties came together via telephone conference earlier today, joined by IOC President Thomas Bach, Tokyo 2020 President Mori Yoshirō, Tokyo Governor Koike Yuriko and Olympic and Paralympic Minister Hashimoto Seiko, and agreed on the new schedule. This will be the first Olympics to be postponed. Previously, three Games have been cancelled outright, in 1916, 1940, and 1944, due to the two world wars.
This decision was taken based on three main considerations and in line with the principles established by the IOC Executive Board (EB) on 17 March 2020 and confirmed at its meeting today. These were supported by all the International Summer Olympic Sports Federations (IFs) and all the National Olympic Committees (NOCs):
● To protect the health of the athletes and everyone involved, and to support the containment of the COVID-19 virus.
● To safeguard the interests of the athletes and of Olympic sport.
● The global international sports calendar.
It has previously been confirmed that all athletes already qualified and quota places already assigned for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will remain unchanged. This is a result of the fact that these Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, in agreement with Japan, will remain the Games of the XXXII Olympiad.

這是一篇公告解讀類應用文。文章主要介紹了由于新冠病毒全球肆虐,經(jīng)過國際奧委會與日本政府會商后,決定將2020東京奧運會延期。
4. 細節(jié)理解題。2020東京奧運會延期至2021年的主要考慮有三個方面:防止新冠病毒擴散,保護運動員和奧林匹克運動的利益,全球體育運動的賽事安排,并沒有“全部運動員和國家的拒絕參賽”這一原因。故選D。
5. 細節(jié)理解題。據(jù)國際奧委會官方宣稱,2020東京奧運會雖然延期至2021年舉行,但仍稱為2020年奧運會,日期定在23 July to 8 August 2021,B選項為殘奧會舉辦時間,故選A,此題難度小。
6. 綜合分析題。因為兩次世界大戰(zhàn)的緣故,歷史上曾有三次奧運會被直接取消,而題干考查的是第一次“延期舉行”的奧運會年份。故選D。
