試題分析：本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道，報(bào)道了2013年9月28日在韓國(guó)光川召開的中日韓文化部長(zhǎng)會(huì)議的有關(guān)情況。會(huì)議期間，三國(guó)部長(zhǎng)就中日韓面向未來開展文化交流及合作的必要性達(dá)成一致，同時(shí)在認(rèn)識(shí)文化重要性方面達(dá)成共識(shí)。

1.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本篇是一篇新聞報(bào)道，其特點(diǎn)是在文章首段提出時(shí)間地點(diǎn)和事件，根據(jù)GWANGJU, South Korea, Sept. 28，2013 (Xinhua)可知會(huì)議在韓國(guó)光川舉行，再根據(jù)文章第二段末句Sports and Tourism of Korea attended the meeting in the South Korean city with more than 2,000 years of history.可以知道這個(gè)城市歷史悠久，所以判斷D選項(xiàng)正確。

2.B詞意推測(cè)題。由上文should take good advantage of their cultural and historical similarities, trying to create “shared East Asia value”可知中日韓三國(guó)要利用文化歷史的共同點(diǎn)去努力創(chuàng)造共同的東亞文化，其目的就是要爭(zhēng)取在世界上更多的利益，擁有更大的發(fā)言權(quán)，故B選項(xiàng)正確。

3.C主旨大意題。新聞報(bào)道文章的特點(diǎn)是開頭提出中心，而本文開頭提出agreed to strengthen cultural exchange and cooperation to promote the cultural prosperity of East Asia.然后在下文作者對(duì)會(huì)議情況進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)介紹，由此可知C選項(xiàng)正確。

4.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段The annual trilateral Ministerial Conference可知會(huì)議每年舉行一次，annual意思是“每年的，年度的”故B選項(xiàng)正確。

考點(diǎn)：考查新聞報(bào)道類短文閱讀。
