htning.（世界各地每年有6,000至24,000人死于闪电。闪电袭击还可能导致停电、破坏财产、损坏电气设备和引发森林火灾。）‖可知，科协家们想预测、控制闪电是因为想找到办法，以减少闪电所带来的危害和损失。故选B项。9．细节理解题。根据第

四段中―Thedatarelatedtofourmainsurfaceconditions:airpressure,airtemperature,relativehumidityandwindspeed

.‖可知，与四个主要表面条件有关的数据有气压、空气温度、相对湿度和风速，没有提到空气污染。故选A项。10．词句猜测题。根据第五段―Theatmosphericdatawasplacedintoamac

hinelearningalgorithm（算法）,whichcomparedittorecordsoflightningstrikes.（将大气数据输入到机器学习计算法中，随后计算法会将这些数据与闪电袭击记录进行比较。）‖可

以推测，it指代上一句中的theatmosphericdata。故选C项。11．推理判断题。第六段中提到―currentsystemsforgatheringsuchdataareslowandcomplexandrequir

ecostlycollectionequipmentlikeradarorsatellites‖，Mostajabi认为目前收集此类数据的系统缓慢而复杂，需要昂贵的雷达或卫星等收集设备；第七段中提到―Ourmetho

dusesdatathatcanbeobtainedfromanyweatherstation…Thiswillimprovedatacollectioninveryremoteareasnotcoveredbyradarandsatel

liteorinplaceswherecommunicationsystemshavebeencut‖,Mostajabi认为他们这种方法使用的数据可以从任何气象站获得，这将改善雷达和卫星未覆盖的非常偏远地区或通信系统被切断的地方的数据收集。因此可以推断，Mostajabi相信他们

的系统在数据收集方面比原来的做得更好。故选D项。2.（2020届辽宁省大连市第二十四中学高三模拟）SHORTLISTOFLONDON'SBESTIfyouhavelimitedvisitingtimewerecommendyoufollowthislist.1)Hous

ionofkingsandqueenshaveaddedtoHenryVIII‘soriginalpalace.可知一个又一个的国王和王后为亨利八世原来的宫殿增添了新的色彩。由此可知，学习英国王室历史的外国学生最喜欢汉普顿宫之旅。故选D。

2．句意猜测题。根据划线句子后文theyarenotrunning,butyoucanstillgetin.可知，他们并没有在运行，但是你仍然可以进入议会。由此判断出，当议会没有正式开会时，他们并没有在运行，但是你仍然可以进入议会。可知，划线句子意思为―当议会没有正式开会的时候‖，故选A。3

．细节理解题。根据最后一段中Notonlyisthequalityhigh,butthepriceislow-onethirdthepriceofBroadway.可知不仅质量好，而且价格便宜——只有百老汇的三分之一。由此可知，伦敦人喜欢戏剧因为他们喜欢便

】这是一篇说明文。到目前为止，关于―你并不特别‖的演讲的越来越多，虽然许多父母抗议这种话语，但是我们的年轻人实际上并不知道他们是否特别有才华或有成就。很多研究发现，这种夸大的自我判断，而恰恰是在我们最不能胜任某项任务的时候，我们才会对自己的表现给出最慷慨的评价。文章分析了

能力不够的人的一些表现，以及摆脱这种困境的方法。8．词义猜测题。根据后文hisego-puncturingwords.Butlostintheangerandprotestwassomethingwereallyshouldbetakingtoheart:ouryoungpeopleactua

llyhavenoideawhetherthey'reparticularlytalentedoraccomplishedornot.可知，但在愤怒和抗议中迷失是我们真正应该铭记在心的事情：我们的年轻人实际上并不知道他们是否特别有才华或有成就。由

此判断处出席典礼的父母们——以及互联网上的许多其他父母——都对他的自我伤害言论提出了争议。所以划线短语意思为―对……有争议‖。故选B。9．推理判断题。根据第一段中Inoureagernesstoelevatetheirself-esteem,we

forgottoteachthemhowtorealisticallyassesstheirownabilities,acrucialrequirementforgettingbetteratanythingfrommatht

omusictosports.Infact,it'snotjustprivilegedhigh-schoolstudents:wealltendtoviewourselvesasaboveaverage.可知我们急于提升他们的自尊，却忘了教他们如何实际地评估自己的能力，而这是学

好数学、音乐、体育等任何学科的关键要求。事实上，不仅仅是那些享有特权的高中生：我们都倾向于认为自己高于平均水平。由此判断出，在作者看来，年轻人无法合理地定义自己的问题不应该被忽视。故选B。10．细节理解题。根据第三段中Whattheseindividualslacked(inadditiontoc

learlogic,propergrammarandasenseofhumor)was"metacognitiveskill":thecapacitytomonitorhowwellthey'reperforming.可知这些人所缺乏的(除了清晰的逻辑、正确的语法和幽默感之外)是―元认

知技能‖:监控自己表现的能力。由此可知A选项―他们缺乏监控自己表现的能力‖文章提到了；第三段中InDunningandKruger'sstudy,subjectsscoringatthebottomoftheheapontestsoflogic,grammarandhumor"extrem

elyoverestimated"theirtalents.可知在Dunning和Kruger的研究中，在逻辑、语法和幽默测试中得分最低的受试者―极度高估‖了自己的才能。由此可知，B选项―‖文章提到了；根据第二段中Peop

lewhoareincompetent,hewriteswithco-authorJustinKruger,sufferfroma―dualburden‖:they'renotgoodatwhattheydo,andtheirineptnessp

reventsthemfromrecognizinghowbadtheyare.可知他与合著者JustinKruger写道，能力不够的人承受着―双重负担‖:他们不擅长自己的工作，而他们的无能使他们无法认识到自己有多糟糕。由

此可知C选项―他们往往无法确切知道自己有多糟糕‖文章提到了；只有D选项―他们在测验和考试中不够聪明‖文章没有提到。故选D。11．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中First,wecanlearntomakehonestcomparisonswithot

hers.Trainyourselftorecognizeexcellence,evenwhenyouyourselfdon'tpossessit,andcomparewhatyoucandoagainstwhattrulyexcellentindividualsa

reabletoaccomplish(首先，我们可以学会诚实地与他人比较，训练自己认识到优秀，即使你自己没有，并将你能做的和真正优秀的人能完成的进行比较)以及后文Findacriticwhowilltellyounotonlyhowpoorlyyou'redoing,butjustwhatitis

thatyou'redoingwrong.Usethisexternalfeedbacktofigureoutexactlywhereandwhenyouscrewedup.(找一个批评者，他不仅会告诉你

你做得有多糟糕，还会告诉你你做错了什么。利用这些外部反馈，准确地找出你是在何时何地把事情搞砸的。)由此判断出，变得特别的策略意味着我们需要内在的诚实对待自己，外在的诚实对待他人。故选C。4.（2020届辽宁省锦州市高三一模）Jellyfishareunusualcreatur

答案】8．D9．C10．A11．A【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了关于水母的一些信息。8．细节理解题。由第一段―Notonlyaretheyveryfragilecreatures,butmanygiveapainfulsting,andsomeareevendeadly‖可知，水母

不仅是非常脆弱的生物，而且很多水母会刺痛人类，有些甚至是致命的。所以为什么我们不能触摸水母是因为他们可能会伤害人。故选D项。9．细节理解题。由第二段―Choosethewordyoupreferdependin

gonwhetheryouthinkthejellyfishpacklookslikeagardenofbloomingflowersormorelikeafrighteningpackofstingers‖可知，选择你更喜欢的词取决于你认为水母群看起来像一个盛

开的花园还是更像一群可怕的刺。所以水母是以它的外表命名的。故选C项。10．细节理解题。由最后段―Jellyfishalsousetheirmouthsbothforeatingandforwasteremoval‖可知，水母还利用它们的嘴来进食和清除废物。所以我们能从这

篇文章中学到嘴是水母重要的器官。故选A项。11．主旨大意题。由第一段，第二段,第三段,第四段―Notonlyaretheyveryfragilecreatures,butmanygiveapainfulstin

uitedifferentfromeachother.MelanieRoberts,SeniorAquaristatSeaWorldOrlando,saysthatthelargestjellyfishintheworldisalion‘smanejellyfish‖可

知，它们不仅是非常脆弱的生物，而且很多会刺痛你，有些甚至是致命的。这是一个关于水母的事实，可能会派上用场。水母在它们的生命周期中有两种主要的形态，它们看起来非常不同。奥兰多海洋世界的资深动物检疫员梅勒妮·罗伯茨说，

世界上最大的水母是狮鬃水母。所以短文从不同的角度介绍了水母的一些信息。所以短文的最佳标题为―关于水母的几条信息‖。故选A项。5.（2020届辽宁省锦州市高三一模）Fancyyourownsatellite?ArizonaStateUni

的应用。7．词义猜测题。根据第一段中的―Itischeap，durable(耐用的)，easilyavailable，andmostimportantly，environmentallysustainable.Theonethingitisnot，istransparent(透明的)

‖可知，木头便宜，耐用，容易获得，最重要的是，可持续。但是它不是透明的。而最后一句提到：由于科学家的努力，已经将―那个特点‖添加到已有的特点单子里了。根据这个语境可以推知，该处应指，科学家们使得木头成为透明的了。―透明‖也成为了它

的一个特点。故该画线词应该指D选项：透明。8．细节理解题。根据第二段中的―Thelignin-freewoodwasthendippedintoapolymer(聚合物)andbakedatatemperatureof15

8Fforfourhours‖可知，制造透明木头的过程之一是：将无木质素的木材浸泡在聚合物中，在158华氏度的温度下烘烤4小时。因此B选项提到的―减少聚合物的量‖和原文不符。故B选项切题。9．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的―Theyarenowexperimentingwithwaysto

scaleupthemanufacturingprocesssothatthetransparentmaterialiscost-effectivetomakeandeasytouse‖可知，现在，他们正在尝试扩大制造工艺，使得透明材料

制造起来更加合算，易于使用。由此推知，现在制造透明木头的成本仍然很高，需要降低成本。故C选项正确。10．主旨大意题。最后一段介绍了透明木头将来在家庭，建筑物，太阳能电池板，环保等方面的应用。由此可知，最后一段主要介绍了透明木头的光明未来。故A选项正确。18.（2020届四川省德阳市高三

文章主要讲述了听力损失是不可避免的，但年轻时听吵闹的音乐会使情况更糟。要想通过听吵闹音乐来降低听力损失的风险，你需要了解音乐为什么会导致听力损失，以及它是如何造成听力损失的。32．词义猜测题。根据前一句―listeningtoloudmusicwhenyou‘reyoungercanmakeitw

orse(年轻时听吵闹的音乐会使情况变得更糟)‖中的listeningtoloudmusic为主语，因此本句应是对其进行进一步的描述，―it‖作为不定代词，可指代前文提及的动作或事物，结合本句―Toreduceyourriskofhe

aringlossvialoudmusic,learnwhyandhowitcancausehearingloss,andjusthowloudistooloud.‖因此可推知本句中it应指前一句―listeningtoloudmusicwhen

you‘reyoungercanmakeitworse(年轻时听吵闹的音乐会使情况变得更糟)‖中的loudmusic。故选D项。33．细节理解题。根据文章第六段内容―Acutetemporarynoise-inducedhearinglosscanoccurfromattendingal

oudconcertorsportingevent,goingtoagunrangewithoutearmuffsorbeingnearanexplosion.(急性暂时性噪音性听力损失可以发生在参加吵闹的音乐会或体育赛事、去没有耳罩的射击

场或在爆炸附近。)‖可知参加吵闹的音乐会出现该情况，选项A―Attendingarockconcert.(参加摇滚音乐会。)‖为吵闹音乐会。故选A项。34．细节理解题。根据文章末尾内容―Foreverythreedecibels,safeexposuretimegetscuti

nhalf,accordingtotheCDC.At88decibels,youcanonlysafelylistenforfourhours;at91decibels,justtwohours.(根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，每三分贝，安全暴露时间就会减

少一半。在88分贝时，你只能安全地听4个小时;在91分贝时，你只能听两个小时。)‖可知，每增加三分贝，安全暴露时间就会减少一半，结合后文提及91分贝时，能听两个小时，因此94分贝时，应减少一半时间，即一个小时；97分贝时，再减少一半时间，即

能听半个小时。故选B项。35．主旨大意题。文章首段提出了本文的论述中心―Toreduceyourriskofhearinglossvialoudmusic,learnwhyandhowitcancausehearingloss,andjusthowloudistooloud.(要想通

过大声听音乐来降低听力损失的风险，你需要了解音乐为什么会导致听力损失，以及它是如何造成听力损失的。)‖可知，本文主要围绕―吵闹音乐与听力损失‖之间进行了阐述，选项A.LoudMusicDamagesHearing(吵闹的音乐损害听力)符合

本文主题，可为最佳标题。故选A项。19.（2020届四川省高三第一次统一监测）TheGuidetoFilmFestivalsCannesFilmFestivalCannes,FranceinMayTopprize:Palmed‘OrHistory:ThefirstCannesFilmFesti

些获得特殊贡献奖的获得者，是我们学习的榜样。为庆祝中华人民共和国成立70周年，国家主席习近平于9月17日签署了一项总统令，授予42名个人共和国勋章、友谊勋章和各种荣誉等称号。接着从第三段到最后简要介绍了一些获得国家级奖项的人。由此可知，本文的目的就是介绍一些获得国家级奖

项的人。故选D。9．细节理解题。根据第三段中的Shehasbeenengagedinmakingandimprovingnationallawsmostofherlife.Itwasshewhoproposedtheclauseon―equalpay

forequalwork‖betweenmenandwomen,whichwaswrittenintothefirstConstitutionofPRCin1954.可知，她一生中大部分时间都致力于制定和完善国家法律。正是她提出了―男女同工同酬‖这一条款，并于1954年写入中华人民共

和国第一部宪法。由此可知，沈继兰参与了制定国家法律。故选A。10．细节理解题。根据第五段中的YePeijian,whoreceived,thehonorarytitle―thepeople‘sscientist‖,hasbeendevotedtoChina‘sl

文。文章主要说明了美国的孩子们由于忙于学习没有足够时间吃午饭，尤其是低收入的孩子无法吸取足够的营养。文章号召家长给孩子们准备好有营养、容易打开食用的健康午餐。12．细节理解题。根据第二段中的Buthigh-qualitynutri

entscountforlittlewhenthereisnotimetoeatthemandlackoflunchtimeisaseriousprobleminschoolsacrosstheUnitedStates.可知，但是，当没有

时间吃高质量的营养物质时，它们就没有什么意义了，而且在美国各地的学校里，午餐时间不足是一个严重的问题。由此可知，美国学校里的孩子们缺少吃午饭的时间。故选A。13．推理判断题。根据第三段中的Aresearchhasfoundthathavinglessthan20minutesfor

lunchresultsinchildrenconsumingmuchlessoftheirlunchesthanthosewithmorethan20minutes.可知，一项研究发现，午餐时间不足20分钟的孩子比午餐时间超过20分钟的孩子

吃的午餐要少得多。再根据第四段中的Formanylow-incomekids,thatcafeterialunchcanrepresenthalftheirdailyenergyintake.可知，对于许多低收入的孩子来说，自助午餐相当于他们每日能量摄入的一半。由此可推知

，受学校这个问题的影响，低收入家庭的孩子不能吸收足够的营养的。故选A。14．词义猜测题。划线词所在句中的achancetorelaxmentallyandphysicallybeforeheadingintotheafternoon(这是在下午上课

前在身心上得到放松的机会)是arespiteintheday的同位语。由此推知，arespiteintheday意为―一天中的休息时间‖，故respite的意为―休息‖。A.Test.测试；B.Challenge.挑

—他们毫无理由地喜欢爬上高大的家具，在小空间和攻击小物体。本文以此展开谈论，主要探索了猫奇怪行为的原因。8．细节理解题。根据第二段中AccordingtoTonyBuffington,aprofessoratOhioStateUn

iversityintheUS,cats‘strangebehaviorlargelycomesfromtheirwayoflifebackinthewild.可知猫的行为很奇怪，主要是由于在野外的天性。故选C。9．推

理判断题。根据第四段中Cats‘huntinginstinctisalsowhatmakesthemattacksmallthingslikekeysandUSBdrives.Inthewild,theyhuntwhatevertheycanget,and

mostoftheanimalstheykillaresmall.猫攻击键和USB驱动器，因为他们捕猎小动物的习惯。故选B。10．词义猜测题。根据第五段第二句Thisexplainswhytheyliketostayinsmallspaceslikedrawersorwashingmachines

---theyarehiding,ortheythinktheyarehiding,frommoredangerousanimals.可知猫也可能被抓住，成为一个被捕杀的动物，所以它要躲起来，远离更危险的动物。故prey意为"被捕食的动物"。故D项符合题意。11．主旨大意题。根

据第一、二段中的Alotofthethingstheydoarehardtounderstand---theyliketoclimbuptallfurniture,fitthemselvesinsmallspacesa

B13．B14．C15．C【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要叙述了一项研究表明，每天花几个小时查看社交媒体的青少年有患多动症的风险这一发现展开。研究人员通过对参与者进行了为期两年的追踪得出了这一发现。科学家指出

频繁的分心会阻碍持续的注意力和组织能力的发展。而两位教授AdamLeventhal和AndyPrzybylski就此发现表达了自己的看法。12．细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句Aftertwoyears,thosewh

ohadcheckedtheirphonesthemostoftenweretwiceaslikelyasthosewhocheckedtheleastoftentoshowsignsofADHD.两年后，那些经常查看手机的人出现多动症症状的几率是那些不经常查看手机的人的

两倍。由此可知，研究人员对参与者进行了为期两年的跟踪来进行这项研究的，故选B。13．推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句Wecansaywithconfidencethatteenswhoareexposedtohigherlevelsofdigitalmediaaresigni

ficantlymorelikelytodevelopADHDsymptomsinthefuture可知Leventhal认为频繁接触数字媒体的青少年在未来更有可能出现ADHD症状。由此判断出频繁接触数字媒

体会增加ADHD的风险。故选B。14．推理判断题。根据文章最后一句Itisnotclearifteachersorparentswouldratethechildrensimilarlyorifthes

elf-reportedmeasureofdigitalscreenuseisrelatedwitheitheractualbehaviororhigherqualitysurveyitems.可知AndyPrzybylski认为

目前尚不清楚老师或家长是否会对孩子做出类似的评价等，由此判断出他认为这项研究的发现不够可靠。故选C。15．主旨大意题。根据第一段TeenagerswhochecksocialmediaforseveralhoursadayareattheriskofdevelopingADHD(

多动症),astudyhasconcluded.一项研究表明，每天花几个小时查看社交媒体的青少年有患多动症的风险。以及文章主要内容围绕一项研究表明，每天花几个小时查看社交媒体的青少年有患多动症的风险这一发现展开。所以短文最佳标题为―过度使用社交媒体可能会增加患多动症

的风险‖。故选C。26.（2020届四川省绵阳市高三第三次诊断性考试）ThesloganfortheCulturalHeritageandSustainableDevelopmentFundis"InLoveWithChina"-andthisspecialm

ation.D．Chinesecharacters'wind'and'phoenix'.【答案】8．D9．D10．A11．B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章展示了文化遗产和可持续发展基金的标语和标志，并介绍了其背后的设计理念。

8．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句―TheChinesecharacterfor‗wind‘andthecharacterfor‗phoenix‘arealmostthesame,withjustonestrokedifference.‖可知，标志上绘有―风‖和―凤

‖两个汉字的甲骨文，而两个汉字本身也非常相似，这里的设计正是将它们做了一个结合。故选D项。9．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句―Thisextraordinarycombinationrepresentshowexpertsleadfashion,whichintumleadsculture

-andthatcultureisthebasisofcreativity.Therefore,itrepresentstheimportanceoftraditionalChinesecultureinglobalcreativity.‖可知，两个汉字的结

合代表了中国传统文化在全球创意中的重要作用，这正是设计者选用它们的原因。故选D项。10．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句―LogoartistSamChungsimilarlyexplainsherdesignprocess‖及整段内容来看，这里是设计师SamChung在解释她的设计过程，

显然她才是真正的设计者。故选A项。11．主旨大意题。全文都在围绕着文化遗产和可持续发展基金的标志展开，讲述其设计理念和表现意图，B选项―CHSDF标志的制作‖是最贴合主题的。故选B项。27.（2020届四川省遂宁市高三第二次诊断性考试

Vehicles【答案】4．B5．D6．A7．C【解析】本文属于说明文。缅甸商人迈克·丹丹·溫(MikeThanTunWin)创建了一个公益组织LessWalk，从其他国家购买废弃了的共享单车，通过组装，为每天步行很远去学校的学生提供免

费自行车。4．细节理解题。根据第二段的LessWalkchangedthisforalockwithakey.Theyalsoaddedasecondseatinthebackofthebikes,allowingtwochildr

entoridetoschoolononebike.Recentlythey‘rereplacingthebike‘sregulartireswithasolidtirethatcan‘tgoflat.可知LessWalk将以前的二维码换成钥匙

锁；在自行车后面增加了一个座位；把自行车的普通轮胎换成了一个实心轮胎。由此可知，LessWalk对自行车做了三个方面的改装。故选B。5．细节理解题。根据第三段的―ButgivingoutthebikestakesalittlelongergiventhatLessWalkwantstomakes

urethatthebikesgoforfreetothestudentswhoneedthemthemost...‖可知，分发自行车需要更长的时间，是因为LessWalk想要确保自行车送到最需要它们的学生手中，也就是精准捐

赠(targetedbikedonation)。本题容易误选A和B。文章只谈到了从国外运回这些自行车很困难，不是发放是运输困难；文章谈到了缅甸有5000多万人口和900多万学生，但没有说有太多的贫困学生。故选D。6．推理判断题。文章最后一段谈到：Than希望买进多达10万辆自行

车，并把这个项目扩展到老挝和柬埔寨等其他国家。他也希望他能激励―全球朋友‖跟随他，把废弃的自行车投入使用，而不是制造更多的城市垃圾。从这些信息可推知，他是一个很有抱负的商人。故选A。7．主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，全文谈到了Th

an看到大量的废弃共享单车，就创建LessWalk项目，买进大量的单车进行改装，免费发放给每天步行很远去学校的学生。尽管花了钱，但他觉得值得。文中―Despitethecost,thebenefitsitcandevelopa

rewellworthtrying‖揭示了本文主题。因此C为最佳标题。故选C。28.（2020届四川省遂宁市高三第二次诊断性考试）There‘sawell-knownstoryintheworldofliteraryt

toreaders.【答案】8．A9．C10．B11．D【解析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了小说翻译人员的地位和作用。8．细节理解题。根据第一段的There‘sawell-knownstoryintheworldofliterarytranslato

rsaboutthetranslatorwhowasthrilledtoseehisworkappearatgreatlengthinanarticleinapopularmagazine.和Thearticleagreedwithhisassessmentofthenovel

ist‘sworksmentioninglongpassagesfromhistranslations.可知，这位翻译家很激动地看到自己的作品出现在一本著名杂志的一篇文章中。这篇文章通过引用译文中的长篇大论来同意他对这位小说家作品的评价，由此说明他的观点被

杂志分享。故选A。9．推理判断题。根据第二段的Thetranslatorsearchedinvainforamentionofhisname.可知，这位翻译家在这篇文章中寻找他的名字时，却没找到。再根据这段信息―Thetranslator‘sj

oyatthecoverage（报道）oftheauthorhelikedwasconsiderablyruinedbythis.‖可知，这位翻译家对他所喜欢的作者的报道所感到的喜悦，在很大程度上被这一情况破坏了。由此推知他应该感到很郁闷。

故选C。10．主旨大意题。根据第三段的However,itisalsotruethatmostreadersthemselvesoperateinexactlythesameway,andforthemitisalsoasifthetranslatordidn‘

texist.Whenpeoplereadatranslationofanovel,theywanttofeeltheyarereadingwhatthenovelist,andnotsomeoneelse,wrote...可知，对于读者来说，就好像译者不存在一

样。当他们阅读一本小说的译文时，他们想要感觉到他们读的是小说家写的东西，而不是别人写的。他们不希望被提醒他们不是在阅读原著小说，不希望知道译者是谁，也不关注译者所做的事情。由此可知本段主要在谈读者对译者的一般态度。故选B。

。11．推理判断题。题干上提到globalage，因此本题答案应在最后一段来寻找。文章最后一段谈到：在这个全球化时代，越来越多的小说被翻译成越来越多的语言。读者现在比以往任何时候都能通过阅读翻译小说来体验和了解其他文化。世界其他地方的人们能够接触到越来越多的小说家的作品。由

此推知作者在谈到全球化时，强调了可供读者阅读的小说种类的多样性。故选D。
