本文是一篇新闻报导：全国中小学华罗庚数学金杯赛的情况。 1.是归纳概括题。A、B两项只是具体事实,C项虽提到了20个获奖者，但也不包括文章内容的全部，只有D项能概括全文主旨大意。 2.属于细节理解题。从最后一段加the contest started in 1986…（竞赛始于1986年），再看 in less than 10 years, it has been recognized… （在不到10年时间里，它已被承认为……）可以断定C项（1986）是正确选项。 3.是一个推理判断题。考查学生对作者写作态度的推测。文章提到一个广东省教师说”Many of the problems are of college level and these pupils can figure them out. it is just unbelievable! “said a teacher from Guangdong province.（大多数题目都是大学水平而中小学生也能做出来，真是难以置信）这些话语充满赞叹之情，当然应选A。 4.为词句理解题：猜测figure (them) out的词义。如果弄清了them是代表 many of the problems，那么，做出数学题就可用 work out．故C项正确。　　答案:C
