2021年全国新高考I卷
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. _____36_____ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. _____37_____ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted inthis paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight._____38_____ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
_____39_____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this bycafé life. French cafés are always crowded. _____40_____ When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
答案及解析：
36. F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
解析：这个选项与前文提到的在巴黎度过一周的经历相呼应，说明了作者和丈夫的目的，即尝试像真正的巴黎人一样生活。
37. C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
解析：这个选项与上文提到的公寓虽小但水管工作的情况相呼应，说明了公寓的一些便利设施，与正常巴黎公寓的不同之处。
38. G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
解析： 本段讲到巴黎人的饮食习惯，空格后一句提到了法式草莓美味多汁，空格处应与法国美食相关，故选项G“食物是如此美味，不需要太多就能使你快乐”切合题意。
39. E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
解析：本段讲述作者与丈夫买水果的经历，最后一句but表示转折，提到水果是最好吃的，但很贵。本空位于句首，应为本段主题句，故选项E“这不是法国人吃得比我们少的唯一原因”符合题意。
40. A. Not all the customers are tourists.
解析：这个选项与上文提到的法国咖啡馆总是拥挤的情况相呼应，说明了咖啡馆里的顾客并不都是游客，暗示了巴黎人生活方式的一部分，即享受咖啡馆生活。
