【答案】13. C 14. D 15. D 16. A 【解析】 【分析】

本文是一片说明文，介绍了谷歌助手的新特点和它的工作原理。 【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“People can send reminders to friends and family on their phone or their Google Home equipment.”得出谷歌助手的新特点就是可以给朋友发送提醒，故选C项。 【14题详解】

词义猜测题。抓住此句中连词also，前文讲谷歌助手可以在手机上使用，所以后文讲在家庭设备上使用，因此猜测“feasible” 与“used”具有相同含义，意为“使用”。故选D项。 【15题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段“These reminders can only be sent to people who are already listed as family in your Google account (账户) or people who are linked (连接) and voice-matched to the same Google Home equipment.”可知只有当列入家庭清单的谷歌账户或者连接上同一个谷歌家用设备才能发送提醒，故选D项。 【16题详解】

主旨大意题。结合本文主旨，文章主要讲谷歌助手的新特点和新用法，故选A项。 【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。例如第四小题。该文是介绍一个新产品的，该类文章的中心一般就在第一段。因此，考生直接抓住第一段中的“On Tuesday. Google announced a new feature (特点) for the Google Assistant.”可知本文主要讲谷歌助手的新特点和新用法，故选A项。
