tplentyofyoungerkidshaveoneintheirpocket.Practicallyeveryonecanmakeandreceivecallsanywhere,anytime.(现在你很难在澳大利亚找到15岁以上的没有手机的人。事实上,很多年幼的孩子口袋里都
有手机。几乎每个人都可以随时随地拨打和接听电话)‖可推知,本段主要说明手机在澳大利亚广受欢迎。故选B项。【25题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线单词的上文―OfthoseAustralianswhostillhavealandlin
e(在那些仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人中)‖可知,这个调查的目标人群是仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人;根据下文―it'snotreallynecessaryandthey'rekeepingitasasecurityblanket—19percentsaythey
neveruseitwhileafurther13percentkeepitincaseofemergencies(固定电话并不是必须的,他们将其作为一种安全保障——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)‖可知,很多人认为固定电话并不是必须
拥有的,有些人保留固定电话只是为了防止紧急情况。从而推知,在调查中,他们应该是承认了固定电话的非必要性。由此推知,划线单词―concede‖意为―承认‖。故选A项。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段―84percentofBabyBoomersw
ho'veperhapshadthesamehomenumberfor50years.(婴儿潮时代中有84%的人可能已经有50年相同的家庭号码了)‖以及文章第五段―Thatsaid,tobehonestthe
onlypeoplewhoeverringourhomephoneareourBabyBoomersparents(也就是说,老实说,唯一打过我们家电话的人是婴儿潮一代的父母)‖可推知,婴儿潮时代的人一直用固定电话。故选C项。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段―H
owattachedareyoutoyourlandline?Howlonguntiltheygothewayofgasstreetlampsandmorningmilkdeliveries?(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?)‖可
推知,本段使用类比的方式,使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子,侧面说明了固定电话总有一天会废弃的。故选B项。5.【2021年全国乙卷】You’veheardthatplasticispollutingtheoceans—between4.8and12.7milliontonnesente

分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术家BenjaminVonWong用塑料垃圾制作了一个巨大的雕塑作品,让人们通过这个雕塑重新审视自己与一次性塑料制品的关系。此外他在2018的一件作品―TruckloadofPlastic‖说明了每60秒,就有一卡车塑料进
入海洋。VonWong通过用塑料垃圾制造巨型雕塑来唤醒和提高人们的环保意识。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段―Butdoesoneplasticstraworcupreallymakeadifference?ArtistBenjaminVonWongwantsyoutoknowthati
tdoes.Hebuildsmassivesculpturesoutofplasticgarbage,forcingviewerstore-examinetheirrelationshiptosingle-useplasticproducts.(但一根塑料吸管或一个
塑料杯真的有什么区别吗?艺术家本杰明·冯·王(BenjaminVonWong)想让你知道,它确实如此。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。)‖可知,VonWong用塑料垃圾制作的雕塑想让人们重新审视与一次性
塑料制品的关系,由此可知他做这个雕塑的目的是为了引起公众对塑料垃圾的关注。故选C项。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段―Just9%ofglobalplasticwasteisrecycled.Plasticstra

量轻,无法回收利用。冯·王作品中的每一根吸管都很可能来自只喝了几分钟的饮料。一旦饮料消失了,吸管也要几个世纪才能消失。)‖可知,吸管由于体积小,重量轻,无法回收利用,由此可推知,作者在第三段讨论吸管是为了展示它们回收的困难。故选
A项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段―Inapieceform2018,VonWongwantedtoillustrate(说明)aspecificstatistic:Every60seconds,atruckload’sworthofplasticenter

组志愿者收集了一万多块塑料,然后把它们绑在一起,让它们看起来像是同时从卡车上倾倒下来的。)‖可知,这个作品以创新的方式让人们了解到塑料垃圾以很快的速度和很大的量倾入海洋,刷新了观众对海洋塑料污染的认知,由此可推断
,这个作品会让观众对塑料垃圾进入海洋这件事―耳目一新‖。故选C项。【31题详解】标题判断题。通读全文,结合第一段―Butdoesoneplasticstraworcupreallymakeadifference?ArtistBenjaminVonWongwants

秒,就有一卡车塑料进入海洋。这项名为―一卡车塑料‖的作品,冯·王和一组志愿者收集了一万多块塑料,然后把它们绑在一起,让它们看起来像是同时从卡车上倾倒下来的。)‖可知艺术家本杰明·冯·王(BenjaminVonWong)通过利用塑料垃圾制作巨型雕
塑的方法来提示人们重新思考与一次性塑料的关系,唤醒和提高人们循环利用的意识,促进环保的发展。由此可知,D项―海洋塑料变成雕塑‖符合文章主旨,适合作为标题。故选D项。6.【2021年全国乙卷】Duringaninterviewforoneofmybooks,myint

。作者通过自身经历讲述人们为什么不喜欢开放性办公室以及有关多少分贝的噪音最有利于人们的创造性思维的研究。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段―That’swhyIhaveamembershipatthecoworkings
paceacrossthestreet-soIcanfocus.(这就是为什么我在街对面的公用办公空间有会员资格——这样我就可以集中精力了。)‖可知,采访者喜欢共享办公空间的原因是那里可以帮助他集中精力。
故选A项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段―Thedifferencesbetweenmostofthegroupswerestatisticallyinsignificant;however,theparticipantsinthe70decibelsgroup
-thoseexposedtoalevelofnoisesimilartobackgroundchatterinacoffeeshop-significantlyoutperformedtheothergroups.(大多数组之间的差异在统计学
上是不显著的;然而,音量为70分贝的那组参与者(置身于类似于咖啡店背景噪音的环境中)的表现明显好于其他组。)‖和第三段―Butsincetheresultsat70decibelsweresignificant,thestudyalsosuggeststhattherigh

还表明,适当的背景噪音——不要太大声,也不要完全安静——实际上可能会提高一个人的创造性思维能力。)‖可知,70分贝的那组参与者表现好于其他组,所以70分贝的噪音背景环境更有可能促进创造性思维能力。故选C项。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段―So

的自由。)‖可知,开放式办公室不受人们欢迎的原因是让我们不断地卷入别人的谈话中,受到很多干扰。故选D项。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段―Duringaninterviewforoneofmybooks,myinterviewersaidsomethingIstillt
hinkaboutoften.(在一次采访我的一本书时,我的采访者说了一些我至今还经常想起的话。)‖可知,作者提到有人采访自己的书,所以可以推断,作者是一位作家。故选D项。7.【2021年新高考全国卷Ⅰ】Whenthe

ingWaterfowlD.TheHistoryofMigratoryBirdHunting【答案】28.A29.C30.D31.A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了美国鸭票的故事,由于美国移民的大量流入,对于农地和住房的急需大量的水禽
栖息地被破坏导致美国水禽骤减,因此美国发行了鸭票,狩猎者只有购买了鸭票才能狩猎,而鸭票的部分收入进入到了用于购买水禽栖息地的基金,从而保护了水禽。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段―Millionsofacresofwetlandsweredriedtofeedandhouset
heever-increasingpopulations,greatlyreducingwaterfowlhabitat.‖可知,上百万公顷的湿地被抽干用作农地或者修建住房,极大地减少了水禽的栖息地,故可知,栖息地的减少
导致了水禽数量的下降,故选A。【29题详解】词义猜测题。根据前一句―NativeAmericanshadtakencareofthesepreciousnaturalresourceswisely.‖可知,北美的土著人把这些珍贵的自然资源保护的很合理,本句中的
―Unfortunately‖可知,本句与上一句形成了转折,前一句陈述北美土著人做的好的地方,故可知,本句阐述移民者做的不好的地方,即移民者破坏了这些自然资源,故画线词意思是―破坏‖。A.Acquire获得;B.Export出口;C.Destroy破坏
;D.Distribute分配。故选C。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段―Since1934,betterthanhalfabilliondollarshasgoneintothatFundtopurchasemorethan5millionacresofhabitat.‖可知,
自1934年起,超过5亿美元进入到了这个基金会,购买了超过500万公顷的水禽栖息地,故可以推出,通过发行鸭票,美国政府获得了大量的资金,故选D。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文可知,由于之前不恰当的发展导致美国水禽骤减,因此美国发行了鸭票,狩猎者只有购买了鸭票才能狩猎,而鸭票的部分收入
进入到了用于购买水禽栖息地的基金,从而保护了水禽,故可知,本文讲述美国鸭票的故事,故选A。8.【2021年新高考全国卷Ⅰ】Popularizationhasinsomecaseschangedtheoriginalmeaningof

heJournalofConsumerResearch,boththesizeandconsumptionhabitsofoureatingcompanionscaninfluenceourfoodin
take‖可知,根据消费者研究杂志最近的一项研究,我们的饮食伙伴的大小和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量。因此这项研究是关于饮食行为的。故选D。【13题详解】词义猜测题。根据前半句―Andcontrarytoexisti
ngresearchthatsaysyoushouldavoideatingwithheavierpeoplewhoorderlargeportions(份)‖可知,现有的研究认为:你应该避免和体重较重、点大份饭菜的人一起吃饭。后半句认为,你真正应该
避免的是thebeanpoleswithbigappetites。由contraryto可推断出,画线词和heavierpeople(超重的人)相反,结合选项,D选项(瘦瘦高高的人)正好和heavierpe
ople正好相反。故选D。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的―Totesttheeffectofsocialinfluenceoneatinghabits,theresearchersconductedtwoexperiments‖可知,为了
测试社会影响对饮食习惯的影响,研究人员进行了两个实验。根据倒数第三段的内容可知,在两个实验中,胖的和瘦的演员都吃了大量的食物。参与者也照做,吃的食物比平常多。然而,当演员是瘦的时候,参与者们服用的食物更多。由此推断,研究人员雇用演员是为了看看她如
何影响参与者。故选A。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的―Ifanoverweightpersonishavingalargeportion,I’llholdbackabitbecauseIseetheresultsofhiseatinghabits.Butif
athinpersoneatsalot,I’llfollowsuit.Ifhecaneatmuchandkeepslim,whycan’tI?‖可知,如果一个超重的人吃很大一份,我会忍住一点,因为我看到了他饮食习惯的结果。
但如果一个瘦的人吃很多,我会跟着做。如果他吃得多保持苗条,为什么我不能呢?因此推断我们是根据我们对他人的看法(即:如何看待他人)来调整影响的。故选C。18.【2020年7月浙江卷】Iamanactiveplaygoerandplay-reader,andperhapsmybestreasonf

4.细节理解题。根据第一段Theycallitthe―ruleof150‖.Ananthropologist(人类学家)calledRobinDunbarmadeastudyof21differentprimitivesocieties.Hefoundtha

achofthemmadealistofaround150people.Manyofushaveleftvillagelifebehind.Buttheideaofthevillagehasnotleftus.可知他
们称之为―150法则‖。人类学家RobinDunbar研究了21个不同的原始社会。他发现他们都住在人口约150人的村庄里。然后,他让住在现代城市的人们列出一张表,上面列有所有他们很熟悉、可以交谈的人。他们每人列出了一份大约150人的名单。我们许多人
已经离开了乡村生活。但是村庄的概念并没有离开我们。由此可知,数字―150‖与一个群体的大小有关。故选A。25.细节理解题。根据第三段中Thisisanarrowwayoflookingatthings.Itdoesnotexplainwhypeoplewhogetgoodjo
bsandbecomerichareoftenunhappy.可知这是一种狭隘的看待事物的方式。这并不能解释为什么那些找到好工作并变得富有的人往往不快乐。由此可知,对于―视人生为一种旅程‖,作者认为它不能涵盖生活中的所有可能性。故选C。26
.推理判断题。根据第四段中Insteadofbeingalonelytraveler,youaretheheadofyourownvillage.Youareresponsibleforeverypartofvillagelife.Gettingagoodjobhelpswitht
he―economicdevelopmentofyourvillage.Butyoualsoneedtopayattentiontothesocialharmonyofyourvillage.可知你不是一个孤独的旅行者,你是你自己村庄的领袖。你要对乡村生活的方方面面负责。找到一份好工作有助于
你所在村庄的经济发展。但你也需要注意你所在村庄的社会和谐。由此可推知,作为村长,你应该正确处理你周围的人和事。故选D。27.推理判断题。根据第二段Otherstudiesofbusinessesandarmyunitshaveshownthatwhenpeopl

eacouldalsobebeneficialforpreventingtheshockingevent,causedwhenabloodvessel(血管)inorservingthebrainisblocked.可知同样,绿茶也有助于预
防中风,这是由于大脑内部或服务于大脑的血管被阻塞而引起的。由此可知,当大脑中的血管发生堵塞的时候,可能会导致中风。故选C。29.推理判断题。根据第二段第二句Theyfoundthatpeoplewhodrankatleastonecupofcoffeeadayhadabou
ta20percentlowerriskofstroke,comparedtothosewhorarelydrankit.可知他们发现,与很少喝咖啡的人相比,每天至少喝一杯咖啡的人患中风的风险要低20%。由此可推断,每天至少喝一杯咖啡对身体健康有好
处。故选B。30.推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句Dr.DaleWebb,fromtheStrokeAssociationsaid,―Wewelcomethisstudywhichsuggeststhatthebenefitsofantio
xidantsincoffeeandgreenteamayoffsetthepotentialharmfromcaffeine.‖可知中风协会的DaleWebb博士说:―我们欢迎这项研究,它表明咖啡和绿茶中的抗氧化剂的好处可以抵消咖啡因的潜在危害
。‖由此可判断出,DaleWebb医生对这项研究的成果持赞赏态度。故选C。31.主旨大意题。根据第一段Antioxidants(抗氧化剂)incoffeearethoughttohelpprotectagainststroke—buttoo
muchmustraisebloodpressure,whichincreasestherisk,accordingtoJapaneseresearchers.Similarly,greenteacouldalsobebeneficialforpreventingtheshockingeven

风的风险。同样,绿茶也有助于预防中风,这是由于大脑内部或服务于大脑的血管被阻塞而引起的。结合本文主要讲述最新的研究表明,适当饮用一定量的咖啡或绿茶能降低患中风的风险。故D选项―适当饮用咖啡或茶很重要‖最适合作标

在田间劳作。今天,经过几个世纪的人类进步,它是这样的:整天在咖啡馆工作,在那里买和吃午饭,继续用笔记本电脑工作,直到太阳下山。可知,作者是通过比较农业发展初期和今天的工作方式来提到我们的祖先的。故选A项9

ias说,第一个实体―餐馆‖出现在15和16世纪的商业经济时期。在欧洲、非洲、东亚和南亚历史的这一阶段,客栈允许商人在旅途中休息——当然,也可以吃饭。可知,餐馆是在15和16世纪开始不仅提供吃饭,而且提供住宿。故选B项。10.推理判断题。根据第四段中Coffeehousesremained

任何子女都不会自动被视为王子或公主。因为皇室习俗规定皇室头衔是由儿子传下来的而不是女儿。12.词义猜测题。划线词和之前的rules是并列的,因此在词义上与rules(规则)接近,根据第二段中的―Forinstance,theroyalfamilydoesn’th
avealastname.Anddon’tforgetthefactthatQueenElizabethcelebratestwobirthdayseveryyear.‖可知,王室成员没有姓氏。伊丽莎白女王每年庆祝两个生日,这是一
种―规矩‖。该句是在解释rules和protocols,因此下划线词语的意思是―规矩‖。A.Promise.承诺;B.Behavior.行为;C.Manners.规矩,风俗;D.Connection.联系。故选C。13.细节理解题。根
据第三段中的―AsaBritishcustom,onlythedaughterofaprinceoraprince’swifemaybeconsideredaformal"princess".‖可知,按照英国的习俗,只有王子的女儿或王子的妻子才可以被视为正式的公主。因此选项中只有―王子的女儿‖才
被认为是公主。故选B。14.细节理解题。根据第三段中的―PrinceGeorgeandPrincessCharlotte,alsobearofficialroyaltitlesbecausetheirfatherisPrinceWilliam.‖可知,乔治王子和夏洛特公主也有官方的王室
头衔,因为他们的父亲是威廉王子。因此夏洛特的父亲是威廉王子。故选C。15.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的―Ofcourse,exceptionscan(andwill!)bemade.TheQueenhasofferedHRHst
atustootherroyaloffspringinthepast,includingthechildrenofQueenElizabeth'sdaughter,Anne.AlthoughPrincessAnneandherhusband,Cap
tainPhillips,declined,perhapsPrincessCharlottewillbeextendedthesameofferwhenherownchildrenareborn.‖可知,当然,可能会有例外。女王过去曾向其他王室后代,包括伊丽莎白女王女儿安妮的
子女提供过HRH身份(注:HRH身份指的是皇室身份中的王子或公主),但是安妮公主和她的丈夫菲利普斯上尉拒绝了。也许夏洛特公主在自己的孩子出生后也会得到同样的待遇。因此最后一段主要告诉我们的是:也许英国王室会
打破自己的规矩让公主的孩子也可以享有正式的王室头衔。故选D。5.【2021届安徽省六校教育研究会高三第一次素质测试】WhilewalkingthroughsomeremoteforestinIndonesia’sWestSumatra,somebiologists

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了世界上有记录的最大的花Rafflesiatuan-mudae(穆达大王花),并介绍了它特殊的气味和命名原因。8.细节理解题。根据第二段关键句―Therecordflowermeasuredinatadiameter
of111centimeters,whichmakesitlargerthanthepreviousrecordholderby4centimeters,alsoaRafflesiatuan-mudae.‖可知,这朵Rafflesiatuan-mudae(穆达大王花
)的直径为111厘米,这使得它比之前的记录保持者的直径大了4厘米,那也是一朵穆达大王花。由此可推断出,最大的花的前一个记录保持者的直径是111厘米减去4厘米,为107厘米。故选C项。9.词义猜测题。画线词所在句―Thepungentsmellismeanttoattr
actflies‖意为―这种_____气味是用来吸引苍蝇的‖。根据第三段关键句―Rafflesiatuan-mudaeisatypeofspecialflower,whichsmellslikeadyingbody.‖可知,穆达大王花闻起来像一个垂死的尸体。再根据第四段关键句―sudde
nlyshowingthemselvestotheworldwiththeirgiantsmellyflowers.‖中的―giantsmelly‖可知,这种花会散发出巨大的臭味。Strongandunpleasant意为―强烈的和令人不快的‖,符合对这种花气味的描述
,表示这种强烈的和令人不快的气味是用来吸引苍蝇的,符合句意。故选A项。10.主旨大意题。根据第五段关键句―Theywerenamed―Rafflesia‖afteraBritishcolonist(殖民者),SirStamford
Raffles‖可知,这种花以英国殖民者SirStamfordRaffles的名字命名为Rafflesia。再根据第五段关键句―itwasnamedafterhimtohonorthediscovery,notbecauseofthegoodsir’ssmell‖可知,以他的名字命名
是为了纪念这个发现。由此可推断出,本段主要讲的是这朵花是怎样被命名的。故选C项。11.推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句―Luckily,ittakesaspecialkindofscientiststoruntowardoneoftheseflowersratherthanawa
y,butinthiscasetheprizewasworththesmell.‖可知,幸运的是,这种特殊的味道让科学家们跑向了这些花,而不是远离它们。由此可推断出,作者认为这一发现是幸运的。Fortunate意为―幸运的‖,符合作者的看法。故选B

Andasitdoesn’tsupportdualstreamvideoandcontent,someuserscomplainthatthevideoisnotclearorreliable.”(由于不支持双流视频和内容,一些用户抱怨视频不清晰或不可靠。)可知,Googl
eHangouts不令人满意的方面是视频质量。故选B。2.细节理解题。根据Zoom部分第一段第一句“ThefreevideoconferencingsolutionfromZoomprovidesaserviceforgr
oupvideocallswithover100participants.”(Zoom提供的免费视频会议解决方案提供100人以上的群组视频通话服务。)可知,Zoom可以免费提供100人以上的群组视频通话服务,根据第二句“TheZoo
mBasicplanallowsuserstohave40-minutecallswithahandfuloffeatureslikescreensharing,localrecordingandcamerafilters.”(ZoomBasic计划允许用户拨打40分钟的电话,并提供一些
功能,如屏幕共享、本地录音和相机滤镜。)可知,Zoom应用程序提供30人免费的10分钟会议服务。故选C。3.细节理解题。根据Lifesize部分“Itisweb-basedanddoesn’trequiredownloadsoranapplicationonyourdevice
s.”它是基于网络的,不需要在你的设备上下载或安装应用程序。根据GoogleHangouts中的“withaplug-inapplication”安装应用程序。根据Skype“Aplug-inapplicationisrequired.”安装应用程序。根据
Zoom“Aplug-inapplicationisnecessary.”安装应用程序。由此可知,Lifesize特别之处在于申请者无需安装应用程序。故选D。7.【广东省深圳市高级中学2021届高三模拟】Bostonwantstobesmarter.Thecityhastak

tiesC.Joint-effortinCityConstructionD.TheModernizationofaCity【答案】12.C13.B14.B15.A【解析】本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍了波士顿在利用高科技管理城的同时使用传统办法以实现城市有效管理,成就现代智慧城
市。12.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Buttechnologyaloneisnotsufficienttomaketoday'scitieslivable.Bostonhasdiscoveredthatitalsoneedstoreachtheold-fashionedlow-techco
mmunityandintegratethattechnologywithcitylife.”但是,仅仅依靠技术还不足以使今天的城市适合居住。波士顿发现,它还需要接触到传统的低智能化社区,并将这种技术与城市生活结合起来。本段主要讲述了波士顿力争成为智慧城市,使用高科技更充分地回
应市民的需求,同时,城市也注重加强传统低智能化社区科技与生活的融合。所以第一段主要是关于城市的管理。故选C。13.推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“ThecomplaintsfromtheAppdidn’talwayscorrelatewiththegreat
estcommunityneedforrepairs,explainsGarter.”嘉德解释说,来自应用程序的投诉并不总是与最大的社区维修需求相关。根据第四段“Carter'sgrouphasmovedawayfromthemodelcommontomanysmartcityinitiativ
esoflettingtech-savvy(精通技术的)residentsdrivetheprocess.Instead,theyrunmeetingstofindoutwhatproblemspeopleindifferentneighborho
odscareaboutsolving”可知,卡特的团队已经摆脱了许多智能城市倡议的共同模式,即让精通技术的居民来推动这一进程。相反,他们召开会议,找出不同社区的人关心解决的问题。克里斯卡特的团队在执行他
们的计划时遇到的问题是不能为所有市民很好地服务,故选B。14.推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句“We'rereallyalwayslookingforwhateverevermixofapproachesbestsolvestheproblem.”我们一直在寻找各种方法的最佳组
合来解决问题可知,Carter想要寻找高科技技术与传统方法融合的方式来满足城市管理的需要,故选B。15.主旨大意类。文章主要介绍了波士顿在提高城市智能程度的过程中,既充分利用高科技,又充分使用传统方法,以满足所有市民的需要,它是一座不仅仅以高科技来成就的智慧城市,所以短文的
最佳标题为“智能城市:不仅仅靠技术”。故选A。8.【2020届四川省天府名校高三5月教学质量联合测评】I.M.Pei,oneofthebest-knownarchitectsofthe20thcentury,h

-tallsteelandglasspyramid,withthreesmallerpyramidsnearby.‖然后,他绘制了一个21米高的钢和玻璃金字塔的计划,附近还有三个较小的金字塔。由此可知,卢浮宫入口一共有4个金字塔。故选B。9.推理判断题。根
据第四段中―Hearguedthathehadwantedtocreateamodernspacethatwouldnottakeawayfromthetraditionalpartofthemuseum.Hes
aidtheglasspyramidswerebasedontheworksofFrenchlandscapearchitectLeNotre.TheyhonoredFrenchhistory.‖他争辩说,他想要创造一个不会脱离博物馆的传统部分的现代空
间。他说,玻璃金字塔是基于法国景观设计师勒诺特尔的作品。他们向法国历史致敬。可知这个玻璃金字塔是与卢浮宫的传统风格相契合的。故选C。10.细节理解题。根据第五段第二句―Overtheyearsthatfollowe
d,thestructurecametobelovedbymost,ifnotall,ofitscritics.‖在接下来的几年里,该结构受到了大多数(如果不是全部的话)批评人士的喜爱。由此可知,这个建筑被大多数人喜爱。故选D。11.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句―However,hecont
inuedtoworkonprojects—includingmuseumsinLuxembourg,QatarandhisancestralhomeofSuzhou‖然而,他继续从事项目工作——包括卢森堡、卡塔尔和
他的祖籍苏州的博物馆。由此可知,在中国和其他国家都有其创作的作品。故选C。9.【2020届河北省衡水中学高三第六次调考】The2019WorldConferenceonVRIndustryshowsthatVirtualReality(VR

部分潜在的顾客。4.细节理解题。由第二段中的Somerestaurateursfelta"livelier"atmosphereencouragedmorecustomerstodinethere,andaside"benefit"wasquickerta
bleturnover,thusincreasingthenumberofpeoplewhocoulddineinaspecificevening.(一些餐馆老板认为―更活跃‖的气氛鼓励了更多的顾客,且另一个―好处‖是更快的餐桌周转,从而
增加了在特定的晚上就餐的人数。)可知,餐馆老板喜欢响亮的音乐是因为这可能有助于吸引更多的顾客。故选A项。5.细节理解题。由第三段中的―Althoughthevolumelevelwaskeptthesam
eforbothmusicalsituations,it'simportanttonotethatfast-tempo(节奏)musicoftengivestheimpressionofbeinglouderthanslowermusic.(尽管两种音乐
环境下的音量水平保持不变,但要注意的是,快节奏音乐通常给人的印象是比慢节奏的音乐声音大。)‖可知,速度在音乐对就餐者的影响中起着最重要的作用。故选C项。6.推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的"Arestaurantthatplacesprofitabovedi
ningexperienceoftenplaysloudmusicwithafasttempothatputsdinersunderpressure10eatmorequickly,evenifthatmeansthey'relessabletoenjoythe
irmeal,"writesDr.NeelBurtoninPsychologyToday,addingthatloud,fastmusicreducesappetite.(NeelBurton博士在《今日心理学》杂志上写道:―一家把利润放在就餐体验之上的餐厅,经常以快节奏播放喧闹的音乐,让
食客吃得更快,即使这意味着他们无法享受美食,‖他补充道,响亮、快速的音乐会降低食欲。)可推断出,NeelBurton博士对就餐使用响亮的音乐持反对态度。故选B项。7.主旨大意题。阅读文章可知,本文一、二段从饭店播放音乐开始
说起,后面四段围绕音乐对顾客的影响进行分析并得出:播放响亮的音乐可以提高顾客就餐速度,但会失去大部分潜在顾客,因此文章讲的是―大声的音乐真的有益于餐馆吗?‖。故选D项。
