真相大白

名师把脉

该文章是一篇作文比赛的宣传海报，论文比赛的题目是“亚洲的挑战，2020”，全篇从简介、目标、评判标准、投稿要求和投稿方式等几个方面介绍本次比赛。文章设置三题，以概括题为主，较传统B篇的数据信息查找题型，难度有所上升。

步步为赢

70. D

解析：段落概括题。问本次论文比赛的目的是什么，定位到原文第二部分Purpose，可知目的是generate fresh ideas for tackling key challenges to Asia以及encourage young professionals to make an impact. D选项inspire brilliant ideas即generate fresh ideas的同义替换，solving problems即tackle key challenges的同义替换，因此D准确。

71. B

解析：是非判断的细节题。该题难度不大，但是需要将四个选项都认真对照原文，根据原文第一部分第二段可知The three prize winners will be invited to Singapore for an expenses-paid awards ceremony，A正确；根据原文第四部分Candidate Requirements可知the candidate must be an Asian national，因此C选项中的Australian肯定是排除在申请人范围之外的，C正确；根据原文第三部分Selection Criteria第二句可知it can be focused on one or more areas relevant to Asia，D正确；根据原文第三部分Selection Criteria最后一句可知不应该在broad international circulation的出版物上发行，但是B选项中的local newspapers并不在排除范围之内，因此B与原文不符，为正确答案。
