参考答案A

解析:
You probably know what a mobile is, but the mobile I'm talking about is a delicate object of decoration hanging from the ceding and moving gently with every breath．(16) It delights both children and adults．Now,do you know who invented the mobile? This lovely creation was the work of an American artist named Alexander Calder．Calder became interested in making things when he was a child．And even then he often
used wire in his constructions．When he went to college, he studied engineering rather than art．(18) But he quickly realized that art was his real passion．(17) He also loved the circus, and many of his early artworks were small circus figures made with wire．In about 1930, Calder turned from realistic wire figures to abstract ones．He began constructing objects that have circles, squares and other geometric shapes．To get the shapes to move, he used small motors．Then he went one step beyond these early mobiles．He got the shapes in his constructions to move by themselves．A mobile may look simple as it shifts in the wind, but it requires careful
construction to work properly．Calder used his engineering knowledge to create his first mobiles．Often these consisted of small pieces of brightly printed metal strung by wire to a thicker base wire．Calder learn how to find the precise point to connect each wire so that all the pieces will sway in harmony．In doing so, he created
an art form for people all over the world to copy and enjoy．
未听先知
预览三道题的选项，很难从其中找出范畴接近的词汇进而推测文章大意。第l6题主语一致，都是It，并且children出现了两次，因此推测It应该与孩子有关；第l7题主语为复数They，表明短文中会提到复数的东西，并且是人物形象figures，细心的考生这时可能会发现该题中的made和上题中的invented范畴接近，都含有“发明，制作”的意思，故猜测短文可能是关于制作孩子喜欢的人物形象。
What does the speaker say about a mobile?
详解
四个选项的主语均是It，其中children出现了两次，综合未听先知的信息点，以及选项中出现的carried，found，invented，可推测本题可能考查某种与孩子有关的事物的性质特点。短文中指出成年人和孩子都喜欢风铃，故答案为A)。
