难找到一个15岁以上没有手机的人。事实上，很多年纪更小的孩子都有一个。几乎每个人都可以

在任何时间、任何地点打电话和接听电话。“可知，不论年龄大小，几乎每个人都有手机，他们可

以随时随地通话。故本段主要描述了手机广受欢迎，B符合题意。A意为“它们的目标用户。”C

意为“它们的主要功能。”D意为“它们复杂的设计。”均不符合题意。故正确答案为B。

2.猜测词义题。根据划线词所在句中they'rekeepingitasasecurityblanket—19percentsaythey

19%的人表示他们从未使用过固定电话，另有13%的人保留固定电话以防紧急情况工可知，他们

认为电话并不是必须的。故此处指“三分之一的人承认固定电话并不是必须的A意为“承认”，

符合题意。B意为“争论”，C意为“记得”，D意为“评论”，均不符合题意。故选A。故正确答案为

Ao

3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段倒数第二句中comparedto84percentofBabyBoomerswho've

电话。”符合题意。A意为“他们喜欢智能手机游戏。”B意为“他们喜欢猜测来电者的身份。“D意

为“他们依恋他们的家庭。'’均不符合题意。故正确答案为C。

4.推理判断题。根据文章第一段Whenalmosteveryonehasamobilephone,whyaremorethanhalfof

Australianhomesstillpayingforalandline（座机）？“当几乎每个人都有手机时，为什么超过一半的澳

大利亚家庭还在为固定电话付费？”结合文章内容可知，本文主要探讨了座机在澳大利亚的使用现

状以及它存在的必要。根据文章最后一段Howattachedareyoutoyourlandline?Howlonguntilthey

gothewayofgasstreetlampsandmorningmilkdeliveries?”你有多喜欢你的座机？它们还要多久才

能走上煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶的道路？’‘本句暗指座机其实大有作用。D意为“它和煤气灯一样重

oftheirsmallsizeandweight,theycannotberecycled及最后一句Oncethedrinkisgone,thestrawwill

takecenturiestodisappear.可知，该段讲了塑料吸管很难回收的现状以及其原因，也描述了塑料吸

管要花很长的时间才能降解。所以A项“来展示它们回收的困难。”，符合题意。故正确答案为

Ao

3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一句Inapiecefrom2018,VonWongwantedtoillustrateaspecific

statistic:Every60seconds,atruckload'sworthofplasticenterstheocean.可知,VonWong制作这个

名为TruckloadofPlastic的作品的目的是为了展示人类排放塑料垃圾的速度之快——每60秒，就

有一卡车的塑料进入海洋，所以在参观这一雕塑时，参观者显然是会感到令人不安的

（disturbing）,故B项符合题意。故正确答案为B。

4.主旨大意题。这篇文章讲述了VonWong通过用塑料垃圾制成的大量雕塑，来表达了人类产生塑

料垃圾会对环境造成影响，并希望人类能够减少塑料垃圾的产生。所以D项“海洋塑料变成雕

塑“，符合文意。A项“艺术家们对塑料安全的看法”，文章没有谈及塑料安全，不符文意。故正确

答案为D。

4.答案：1-4ACDD

解析：1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句Annoyedbythelevelofdistraction（干扰）inhisopen

放式办公室的原因是会被其他人打扰，D项“不断的打扰”符合题意。故正确答案为D。

4.推理判断题。根据文章第一句Duringaninterviewforoneofmybooks,myinterviewersaid

somethingIstillthinkaboutoften.“在一次关于我的一本书的采访中，我的采访者说了一些我至今还

经常想起的话。''可知，作者发布过书籍，所以他可能是一个出版过作品的作家，D项符合题意。

故正确答案为D。

5.答案：①-⑤BCFEG

解析：①根据下文ifyouYeoutofyourcomfortzoneorifyou'rewanderingintosomebody'shousefor

thefirsttime.Sothemainthingisjusttoshowupandbeadventurous,tryingdifferentfoodsandtalking

tostrangers.可知，如果你走出了自己的舒适区，或者你第一次走进别人的房子。所以最主要的事情就

是去尝试,去冒险，尝试不同的食物，和陌生人交谈。B项意为“第一步是去探险”，引出下文，符合语

境。故正确答案为B。

②根据上文Ifyoucanstarttheconversationwithaquestionotherthan"Whatdoyoudoforaliving?11,

you'llbeabletogetalotmoreinterestingconversationoutofwhomeveritisyou'retalkingto.和下文it

canbringin"Ihavethisold,broken-downvehicle'*or"Irodethebuswiththesecrazypeoplewhowere

laughingatsillyjokesintheback."可知，上文提到如果你能以一个问题开始对话，而不是“你以什么为

生?''，你就能从和你谈话的人口中得到很多有趣的话题。下文提到它可以带来“我有一辆老旧的破

车''或者"我和一群疯狂的人一起坐公交车，他们在后面笑着愚蠢的笑话。”可知填空处与一个问题有

关。C项意为“如果你问，你是怎么到这儿来的?二承上启下，符合语境。故正确答案为C。

③根据下文Ifyoucan'ttaketheirwineaway,youshouldcertainlytrytotakeawaytheirsoapbox（讲台）.

可知，如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该试图带走他们的讲台。F项意为“那些喝了太多酒或不

停说话的人怎么办''，引出下文，符合语境。故正确答案为F。
