As a result, a very simple, taken-for-granted featureof any modern phone like calling someone

25、 can prove to bedifficult.”可知, Leku Wuniure63 岁的母亲用彝族语交流,因为她不懂中文,也不会说普通话,甚至看不懂数字。因此,任何现代手机的第 9页（共 11页）一个非常简单、 被认为是理所当然的功能,比如打电话给某人,都被证明是困难的。所以可知,他的母亲用的是彝族语言,而手机上的中文、普通话和数字她是不懂的,因此她在语言方面的困难使她无法给LekuWuniure 打电话。故选 B 项。2.C词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句“Besides my mothersplight, Ive also seen some villagers, who left

26、to make a livingas workers in cities, suffering financial losses ormisunderstanding due to the obstacles in communication.”中的“Besides”可知,“my mothers plight”与后文之间为递进关系;而后文表达的是 “我也看到一些离开家乡到城市打工谋生的村民因为沟通上的障碍而遭受经济损失或误解” ,即这些村民和母亲一样,在沟通方面有障碍。 由此可推断出,画线单词 “plight” 与 “obstacles(障碍)”为同义词,意为“障碍;困难”,所以 C 项“困难

27、;问题”符合语境。A 项“理解”;B 项“印象”;D 项“要求”均排除。3.A细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句以及第二句中的“The 2.0version of Yayou will have several new functions”可知,经过两年多的发展,这个梦想变得越来越大,Leku 和他的合作伙伴 MiseAchang准备在五月发布他们的应用程序的更新版本,新版本有很多新功能。 故选 A 项。 根据第四段最后一句中的 “some users will be ableto test the new voice assistant function and interact with t

28、heirsmartphones in the Yi language”可知,帮助使用者与智能手机互第 10页（共 11页）动是应用程序的一项新功能而不是他们的发展计划,所以排除 D 项。其余两项均不是发展计划。4.B主旨大意题。 根据全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了一个彝族年轻人 Leku Wuniure 为了解决不懂汉语的妈妈打电话的问题,开发了一款手机应用程序,这不仅帮助了自己的妈妈,也帮助了很多其他彝族人。所以 B 项“一款应用程序有助于打电话”贴合文章主题,为最佳标题。A 项“母亲的要求得到了满足”;C 项“一款实用的手机应用程序”和D 项“一个聪明的儿子和他的母亲”均不能概括文章的主旨。
