答案解析

D2

1. D. 原文提到Kaffee und Kuchen – coffee and cake – is an Austrian tradition and Vienna’s coffeehouses are some of the capital’s best-loved institutions (机构). 之后又进行了进一步的解释：People think of them as public living rooms. They chat with friends, read newspapers and eat cakes and pastries (糕点).

2. C. 原文讲维也纳的咖啡馆给人们提供了充足的个人空间Just one cup of coffee can be your ticket to a seat at a table, which becomes your private space for hours on end. 在作者眼里，侍者不会催促客人消费：No waiter will urge you to order more – Viennese waiters are infamously (臭名昭著地) cold, more likely to ignore you than to offer you another drink. 可见作者的态度是客观公正的。

3. B. 根据Maximilian Platzer, chairman of Vienna’s Club of Coffeehouse Owners, explained the proper recipe for coffeehouse atmosphere: “The marble (大理石) tables, chandeliers (枝形吊灯), mirrors, the windscreen at the door, the clock that must be visible (可见的) from all parts of the cafe, the newspaper table with local and international papers, but especially the coffee [which] must be served on a silver tray (托盘) with a glass of water. A spoon lies on the glass. And that’s how a Vienna coffeehouse must be done,” he told CCTV可知B是正确选项。

4. B. 纵观全文，主要介绍了维也纳的咖啡馆文化。

D3

1. D. 根据Well, you’re not alone. In fact, this phenomenon, which scientists call “phantom (幻觉) phone vibration”, is very common - around 80 percent of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still.可知“phantom (幻觉) phone vibration”实际上是一种错觉，而这种错觉则是因为我们的大脑被错误的信号干扰，后文why can’t our brains just make every judgment correctly without being overly (过度地) sensitive to false signals? 可以印证这一点。

2. B. 根据原文The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden (负担) every day. “You get a tremendous (巨大的) amount of sensory (感觉的) information that’s coming in from your eyes, from your ears, from your skin, and you can’t deal with all that information all the time,” Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live Science可知人脑每天要处理大量信息，这是很大的负担，也就造成了phantom (幻觉) phone vibration现象。

3. D. 原文以警报器为例解释了phantom phone vibration现象，是对比的手法。

4. D. 根据最后一句So, perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it’s vibrating. It’s not too much trouble to do that, is it?可知作者并不为phantom phone vibration所困扰，他认为接电话并没有那么困难。人们完全可以自如应对。

D4

1.D. 根据I told her that it's just an act of kindness that doesn't cost anything, and it gives both him and me a sense of joy可知作者向邻居招手是为了表示善意，让双方都感到快乐幸福。

2.C. 根据when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked可知C为正确答案。

3.B. 根据Upon hearing this, my daughter told her friend the story of how all the waving began和 Other friends made similar comments, and this response taught my daughter just how much an act of kindness can be very natural and effortless, if you really want to do it.可知作者的女儿很愿意跟别人分享和邻居招手致意的故事，她从中也收到了教育。

4.B. 根据It showed us how giving happiness benefits both the giver and receiver.
