答案：24.B25.A26.C27.B

解：本文為說(shuō)明文，講述了澳大利亞座機(jī)目前的使用情況。

24.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句"Infactplentyofyoungerkidshaveoneintheirpocket.

Practicallyeveryonecanmakeandreceivecallsanywhere,anytime.”可知I,很多年紀(jì)更小的孩

子都有一個(gè)手機(jī)，幾乎每個(gè)人都可以在任何時(shí)間任何地點(diǎn)接打電話，故選B。

25.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線單詞上下文“OfthoseAustralianswhostillhavealandline,athird

concedethatit'snotreallynecessaryandthey'rekeepingitasasecurityblanket—19percentsay

theyneveruseitwhileafurther13percentkeepitincaseofemergencies.”可知，三分之——的

擁有座機(jī)的人只是將座機(jī)作為一種安全保障，而19%的人說(shuō)他們從來(lái)不使用座機(jī)，另有13%

的人保留固定電話以防緊急情況，可知他們承認(rèn)擁有座機(jī)并非必要，故選A。

26.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二句"Ageisnaturallyafactor（因素）一only58percentof

GenerationYsstilluselandlinesnowandthen,comparedto84percentofBabyBoomerswho've

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

持續(xù)使用同一個(gè)家用電話號(hào)碼，因此可知這一代人持續(xù)使用固定電話，故選C。

27.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段作者的兩個(gè)設(shè)問(wèn)“Howattachedareyoutoyourlandline?How

longuntiltheygothewayofgasstreetlampsandmorningmilkdeliveries?”可知，作者認(rèn)為庫(kù)機(jī)

最終會(huì)走向煤氣路燈和早晨牛奶遞送的道路，即最終會(huì)被新的事物取代，故選B。

解：本文為說(shuō)明文，介紹了藝術(shù)家BenjaminVonWong通過(guò)塑料垃圾制成的雕塑作品使大眾

審視與一次性塑料的關(guān)系。

收困難，故選A。

30.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句"Inapiecefrom2018,VonWongwantedtoillustrate（說(shuō)

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

VonWong的這個(gè)作品主要是為了說(shuō)明一個(gè)特定的數(shù)據(jù)，即每隔60秒就有一卡車的塑料進(jìn)入

海洋，而這個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)是觸目驚心的，審視選項(xiàng)，Calming"平靜的”,Disturbing“令人不安的”,

Refreshing“使人重新振作的"，Challenging“挑戰(zhàn)的"，故選B。

31.標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文，可知本文介紹了藝術(shù)家BenjaminVonWong通過(guò)塑料垃圾制成

的雕塑作品使大眾審視與一次性塑料的關(guān)系，且文中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)oceanplastics和sculpture這

些關(guān)鍵詞，故選D。

答案：36.B37.C38.F39.E40.G.

解：這是一篇說(shuō)明文，文章介紹了如何使自己在晚宴上有趣。

36.根據(jù)設(shè)空后的句子意思：“如果你走出了舒適圈，或者你第一次到別人家做客”，缺的

內(nèi)容是“那么……這是一個(gè)if引導(dǎo)的從句，是順承關(guān)系。以及結(jié)合空前一句也就是第一

段作者說(shuō)到讓自己在晚宴上有趣并不難，可知后文應(yīng)該是講怎么做。所以選項(xiàng)B符合文意，

前后是順承關(guān)系，并且B選項(xiàng)中的thefirststep和后面一句中的forthefirsttime照應(yīng)復(fù)現(xiàn)。

故選Bo

37.首先題目后面出現(xiàn)了指代詞it,指的是上句的內(nèi)容，逗號(hào)后面的句子：“這可能會(huì)引發(fā)

這樣的回答一一”我有一輛老舊的汽車”或〃我坐公交車來(lái)的（不重要的信息此處省略）〃，

兩者之間是順承和解釋說(shuō)明關(guān)系。故選C。

38.根據(jù)設(shè)空后面的問(wèn)號(hào)，所以初步確定這里是一個(gè)疑問(wèn)句，選項(xiàng)F剛好符合。另外選項(xiàng)里

的drink和后一句中的wine照應(yīng)。故選F。

39.根據(jù)設(shè)空前面一句話，意思是：〃（對(duì)于那些喝的爛醉或者喋喋不休的人）如果你是主人,

那么你可以讓他們?cè)趶N房里給你幫忙，從而把他們從現(xiàn)場(chǎng)支開(kāi)。選項(xiàng)E（或者把對(duì)話轉(zhuǎn)

移到他們無(wú)話可說(shuō)的話題上）符合文意。前后構(gòu)成并列順承關(guān)系。且E選項(xiàng)中的they和上

句的them呼應(yīng)。故選E。

40.這一段講的是飯桌上令人尷尬的沉默。根據(jù)空前一句說(shuō)到一個(gè)很好的打破沉默的方法是

稱贊主人，結(jié)合空后一句說(shuō)稱贊主人的飯菜很可口可知，前后是中心和舉例說(shuō)明關(guān)系，選項(xiàng)

G符合文意（她/他是對(duì)尷尬感受最深的那個(gè)人），且G選項(xiàng)中的"Heorshe”和前文的the

host是照應(yīng)關(guān)系，故選Go

第三部分語(yǔ)言知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）

第一節(jié)（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）

閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處

的最佳選項(xiàng)。
