答案：24.B25.A26.C27.B

解：本文为说明文，讲述了澳大利亚座机目前的使用情况。

24.细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句"Infactplentyofyoungerkidshaveoneintheirpocket.

Practicallyeveryonecanmakeandreceivecallsanywhere,anytime.”可知I,很多年纪更小的孩

子都有一个手机，几乎每个人都可以在任何时间任何地点接打电话，故选B。

25.词义猜测题。根据划线单词上下文“OfthoseAustralianswhostillhavealandline,athird

concedethatit'snotreallynecessaryandthey'rekeepingitasasecurityblanket—19percentsay

theyneveruseitwhileafurther13percentkeepitincaseofemergencies.”可知，三分之——的

拥有座机的人只是将座机作为一种安全保障，而19%的人说他们从来不使用座机，另有13%

的人保留固定电话以防紧急情况，可知他们承认拥有座机并非必要，故选A。

26.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句"Ageisnaturallyafactor（因素）一only58percentof

GenerationYsstilluselandlinesnowandthen,comparedto84percentofBabyBoomerswho've

perhapshadthesamehomenumberfor50years.n可知，婴儿潮出生的一代人中有84%的人

持续使用同一个家用电话号码，因此可知这一代人持续使用固定电话，故选C。

27.推理判断题。根据最后一段作者的两个设问“Howattachedareyoutoyourlandline?How

longuntiltheygothewayofgasstreetlampsandmorningmilkdeliveries?”可知，作者认为库机

最终会走向煤气路灯和早晨牛奶递送的道路，即最终会被新的事物取代，故选B。

答案：28.C29.A30.B31.D

解：本文为说明文，介绍了艺术家BenjaminVonWong通过塑料垃圾制成的雕塑作品使大众

审视与一次性塑料的关系。

28.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句"Hebuildsmassivesculpturesoutofplasticgarbage,

forcingviewerstore-examinetheirrelationshiptosingle-useplasticproducts.,,可知，他用塑料

垃圾建造巨大的雕塑，迫使观众重新审视他们与一次性塑料产品的关系，故选C。

29.细节理解题。根据第三段第二句"Plasticstrawsarebynomeansthebiggestsource（来源）of

plasticpollution,butthey'verecentlycomeunderfirebecausemostpeopledon'tneedthemto

drinkwithand,becauseoftheirsmallsizeandweight,theycannotberecycled.,,可知，因为塑

料吸管尺寸小、重量轻，因此不能被回收，可知作者在本段讨论塑料吸管就是为了表明其回

收困难，故选A。

30.推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句"Inapiecefrom2018,VonWongwantedtoillustrate（说

明）aspecificstatistic:Every60seconds,atruckload'sworthofplasticenterstheocean.“可知,

VonWong的这个作品主要是为了说明一个特定的数据，即每隔60秒就有一卡车的塑料进入

海洋，而这个数据是触目惊心的，审视选项，Calming"平静的”,Disturbing“令人不安的”,

Refreshing“使人重新振作的"，Challenging“挑战的"，故选B。

31.标题归纳题。通读全文，可知本文介绍了艺术家BenjaminVonWong通过塑料垃圾制成

的雕塑作品使大众审视与一次性塑料的关系，且文中反复出现oceanplastics和sculpture这

些关键词，故选D。

答案：1~4ACDD

解:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了协同工作空间内适当水平的噪音可提高人创造性思考的能力。

L细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“…hesaid,"That'swhyIhaveamembershipatthe

coworkingspaceacrossthestreet—soIcanfocus.""可知，这位采访者更喜欢协同工作空间，

是因为他可以集中注意力，故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段第三句"...however,theparticipantsinthe70decibels

group...significantlyoutperformedtheothergroups.”和第三段第一句"Butsincetheresultsat

70decibelsweresignificant,thestudyalsosuggeststhattherightlevelofbackground

noise...mayactuallyimproveone'screativethinkingability.可知，70分贝的背景音下实验参

与者的表现大大好于其他组，正因如此，实验结果显示适当水平的噪音可提高人创造性思考

的能力，故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句"Theproblemmaybethat,inouroffices,wecan'tstop

ourselvesfromgettingdrawnintoothers'conversationswhilewe'retryingtofocus.“可知，在我

答案：36.B37.C38.F39.E40.G.

解：这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了如何使自己在晚宴上有趣。

36.根据设空后的句子意思：“如果你走出了舒适圈，或者你第一次到别人家做客”，缺的

内容是“那么……这是一个if引导的从句，是顺承关系。以及结合空前一句也就是第一

段作者说到让自己在晚宴上有趣并不难，可知后文应该是讲怎么做。所以选项B符合文意，

前后是顺承关系，并且B选项中的thefirststep和后面一句中的forthefirsttime照应复现。

故选Bo

37.首先题目后面出现了指代词it,指的是上句的内容，逗号后面的句子：“这可能会引发

这样的回答一一”我有一辆老旧的汽车”或〃我坐公交车来的（不重要的信息此处省略）〃，

两者之间是顺承和解释说明关系。故选C。

38.根据设空后面的问号，所以初步确定这里是一个疑问句，选项F刚好符合。另外选项里

的drink和后一句中的wine照应。故选F。

39.根据设空前面一句话，意思是：〃（对于那些喝的烂醉或者喋喋不休的人）如果你是主人,

那么你可以让他们在厨房里给你帮忙，从而把他们从现场支开。选项E（或者把对话转

移到他们无话可说的话题上）符合文意。前后构成并列顺承关系。且E选项中的they和上

句的them呼应。故选E。

40.这一段讲的是饭桌上令人尴尬的沉默。根据空前一句说到一个很好的打破沉默的方法是

称赞主人，结合空后一句说称赞主人的饭菜很可口可知，前后是中心和举例说明关系，选项

G符合文意（她/他是对尴尬感受最深的那个人），且G选项中的"Heorshe”和前文的the

host是照应关系，故选Go
