【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。介紹了明尼蘇達(dá)大學(xué)孔子學(xué)院開設(shè)了幾門關(guān)于中國(guó)語(yǔ)言和文化短期課程的一些相關(guān)信息。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由表格中MONDAY的“Chinese Rehab6:30 ~ 7:00 p.m.”可知，Chinese Rehab 在周一上。故B選項(xiàng)正確。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Office hours “The office is generally open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. until 4: 30 p.m. The office is closed daily from12:.00 noon until 1: 00 p. m. and is closed on all University holidays. ”可知，辦公室一般在星期一到星期五營(yíng)業(yè)，上午8:00到下午4:30。辦公室每天從中午12:00至下午1:00不營(yíng)業(yè)，大學(xué)假期也不營(yíng)業(yè)。所以你可以在星期五下午一點(diǎn)半去辦公室詢問(wèn)有關(guān)課程的信息。故D選項(xiàng)正確。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“The schedule may change due to teacher availability.”可知，由于師資問(wèn)題，時(shí)間表可能會(huì)有所改變。所以課程表安排可能有所變化。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
