开展。【补充说明】Zoom：一款多人云视频会议软件，为用户提供兼备高清视频会议与移动网络会议功能的免费云视频通话服务。C篇主题语境：人与社会——历史、社会与文化本文是记叙文。文章讲述了美国女人道主义者、美国红十字会的创建人克拉拉·巴顿的故事。28.D。理解具体信息。根据第二段中的Shebecameateacheratage17andstartedtwoschools,butleftteachingwhenamanwashiredontwicehersalary...TheseexperiencesledtoBarton'slatersupportforcivilrights可知，巴顿在学校教书时获得的工资只有男教师的一半。这也是促使她为民权奋斗的经历之一。29.A。理解具体信息。根据第三段中的AftertheCivilWarbeganin1861,sherepeatedlytransportedfoodandothersuppliestowheretheneedwasgreatest可知，1861年内战爆发后，巴顿不断地将食物和其他物资送去了最需要的地方。30.B。理解具体信息。根据第五段中的ShereturnedtotheUnitedStatesandin1881formedtheAmericanRedCross...providinghelp...theworld可知，巴顿返回美国后创建了美国红十字会，致力于帮助有需要的人。31.D。理解文章结构。根据文中的onDecember25,1821，atage17，Inher30s，in1861，inAugust1862，in1881，atage83，inApril1912可知，这篇文章是按照时间顺序向读者介绍了克拉拉·巴顿的故事。D篇主题语境：人与社会——社会本文是说明文。最新研究表明新闻通过幽默的方式传播更易被年轻人记住和分享。32.D。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的Intheearlyyearsoftelevisednews,AmericansturnedtotheseriousfacesofnewsmenastrustedsourcesfornewsoftheimportanteventsinAmericaandaroundtheworld,broadcastwithcontrolledvoices可知，早期的美国观众更喜欢严肃的新闻记者。33.B。理解具体信息。根据第二段中的viewersarenotonlymorelikelytosharehumorouslypresentednewsbutarealsomorelikelytorememberthecontentfromtheseclips和第四段中的Theresearchersinvitedyoungadults(1834yearsold)towatchavarietyofnewsclips以及第五段Participantsweremorelikelytorememberinformationwhenitwaspresentedinahumorousratherthannonhumorouswayandweremorewillingtosharetheinformationonline可知，该研究发现幽默可以让年轻人更愿意了解和分享新闻。34.A。理解主旨要义。根据第四段中的Theresearchersinvitedyoungadults(1834yearsold)towatchavarietyofnewsclips、collectingdataonparticipants'brainactivityusingFMRItechnology、didamemorytest以及askedparticipantstoanswerquestions可知，作者在本段主要介绍的是该研究的实施过程。FMRI意为“机能性磁共振成像”。35.C。推断。根据最后一段中的Thisisverysignificantbecauseentertainmentbasedmediahasbeeanimportantsourceofnews,especiallyforyoungadults可知，Coronel认为该研究证明了轻松愉快的新闻的重要性。第二节主题语境：人与自我——生活本文是夹叙夹议文。幽默在家庭生活中扮演着重要的角色。36.E。根据下文中的they'rehilariouslyfunnyandothertimesIjusthavenoidea.Myhusbandisabitmoreonthereservedside,withawitty,butquietsenseofhumor.HeandIhavesomegoodlaughs可知，作者在本段通过描述自己的家庭来回答上文中提到的问题，因此E项符合此处内容。E项中的Well承接上文内容，alotoflaughter与上文中的agoodlaugh相照应，同时下文中的they指代E项中的boys。37.D。根据上文中的HeandIhavesomegoodlaughs和下文中的ThereforemyboyshaveanongoinglifemissiontogetDadtolaugh可知，作者和丈夫之间有很多欢声笑语，但是孩子们经常无法理解自己父亲的幽默感，于是他们的任务就是逗父亲开心，因此D项符合此处内容。D项中的But与上文内容构成转折关系，同时下文中的Therefore也与D项构成因果关系。38.G。根据下文中的Theyaremastersatmakinglightofjustaboutanything,turningtensionintoedy、Someoneaskedmymom以及humorgracestheirhomealways可知，作者在本段主要介绍自己的父母非常幽默，因此G项符合此处内容。G项是对上文中的values的具体解释，同时G项中的theirgreatsenseofhumor与下文中的makinglightofjustaboutanything、turningtensionintoedy以及laughourwaythroughtherestofourlives相照应。makelightof...

意为“轻视……，对……等闲视之”。39.A。根据上文中的I'llneverforgetwhatshesaid可知，作者对母亲的回答印象深刻，因此A项符合此处内容。A项中的love与上文中的neverforget相照应，heranswer指代上文中的IthinkIfiguredifwecouldlaughourway
