【24 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“ These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over
the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their
pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, 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“ Of those Australians who still have a landline (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's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say
they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies (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。

推理判断题。根据文章第四段“ 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home
number for 50 years.(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“ That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby
Boomers parents (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“ How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go
the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries? (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。
C
You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter
ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist
Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic
garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-
tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer
beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho
Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source
（来源）of plastic pollution but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need
them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw
that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few
minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.

In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明） a specific statistic: Every 60
seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,”
Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then
tied together to look like they’d been dumped（倾倒） from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic
footprint.
