問題詳情：

Kids don’t have a voice. They have no way to share their ideas. TEDx Youth is a locally organized event, where live talks and recorded videos are shared with the community(社區). TEDx Youth is always held on Children’s Day every year. It brings together big ideas from, and for kids. More importantly, it encourAges kids to share their ideas with the world.

“Age is but a number. You’re not too young to change the world. Planning an event alongside young people makes you realize that kids have ideas that an adult might usually not think of,” said one TEDx Youth speaker. Another speaker said, “What I have come to realize is that no matter where you live or how old you are, everyone is eager to be someone great.”

Organizing a TEDx Youth event shows that kids are able to do much more than what’s expected. They truly take this event and make it even more than what everyone hopes it will be. “The fact that youth, just like me, had planned and run the event shocked me most,” said one volunteer. “I thought the event was surprising. I couldn’t believe that kids of my age made the event happen.”

There are several ways to take part in TEDx Youth. The easiest way is to become a speaker, if you think your idea is worth spreading. Another way is to attend an event. And lastly, you can become a TEDx Youth Reporter. Reporters take pictures from the event and post them on line, and send news about what is happening at event, interview some of the speakers, and write articles about the event. “It was wonderful to see how youth team members were with the whole event and how thankful they were (and still are!) to be given such an unbelievable chance as being part of a TEDx event,” said an organizer.

TEDx Youth is welcoming kids from every culture who want to have a deeper understanding of the world. Those who get involved with it believe in the power of ideas, which can change attitudes, lives and the world.

【回答】

1.B。解析：此題是細節題。透過“ main purpose...”

定位文章第一段的最後一句話 “More importantly, it encourages kids to share their ideas with the world.” 選項B中的“to spread kids’ ideas all over the world” 屬於同義詞替換，所以B選項正確。

    2.D。解析：此題屬於細節題。透過“...a volunteer...”定位第三段的最後一句“I thought the event was surprising. I couldn’t believe that kids of my age made the event happen.” 可知*爲D。

    3.B。解析：此題屬於細節題。透過題目定位第四段中間部分“Reporters take pictures from the event and post them on line, and send news about what is happening at event, interview some of the speakers, and write articles about the event.”對照四個選項可知，B選項和文中“interview some of the speakers”屬於同義詞替換，故B選項正確。

 4.C。此題屬於主旨大意題。根據文章第一段和最後一段可以分析出，文章主要在介紹TEDx Youth是全世界的孩子們分享自我觀點的平臺，孩子們可以透過這個平臺達到分享觀點的目的。由此可知C選項正確。容易造成迷惑的是D選項，文中最後一段的確提及TEDx Youth可以改變觀點、生活和世界，但是這並不是全文的主要內容，故排除。
