【28题详解】
词义猜测题。由文章中的“That is to say（那就是说）”可知，后一句话是对前一句话的解释。由后一句话“audience will be able to watch these three sports as Olympic events for the first time.（观众能够第一次观看这项项目作为奥运会项目比赛。）”可知，这些项目是首秀。由此可知“The other 3 sports…will all make debuts in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.”的意思是：其它三项运动将全在2020年东京奥运会上亮相。A. announcements公告，布告；B. appearances出现，首次使用；C. admissions准许加入，加入权；D. advertisements广告。故选B。
【29题详解】

【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式：生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词（代词或者名词）。从近三年考查形势看，三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词词义猜测。这种题型的解法主要是在划线词所在句子的前后找到该句话的同义句或者释义句，再根据同义句或者释义句的意思推断出划线单词的意思。例如本文第一题，考查的就是生词词义猜测，由其后的“That is to say（那就是说）”可知，后一句话是对前一句话的解释。由此可根据后一句话的意思推断出划线单词的意思。所以再解生词猜测词义的题目时，找对同义句或释义句非常重要。同学们要多积累向“That is to say”这样的表示解释关系的词汇。
