高考英语学习提升课堂：高考阅读理解对“旧事物”的考查 2021年高考英语全国乙卷的阅读理解B篇是介绍在澳洲家庭保留座机的现象及其原因。我们不禁想到2011年全国新课标Ⅰ卷阅读理解A篇，作者通过回忆从前给家里送牛奶的Bastille先生的故事，表达了作者对童年的美好回忆和对他的深厚感情。两者都是对往事的回忆。请阅读原题并细心体会。 真题回顾 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 [2021年全国乙卷阅读B篇] When almost everyone has a mobile phone，why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline（座机） These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone.
