根據(jù)第一段中的TheSouthAfricantownHamburgissituatedbyoneofthemostbeautifulestuaries(河口)intheEasternCape.It'sknownforitsrichXhosaculture.Itisalsohometoagroupofwomenwhohaveproducedaseriesofextraordinaryartworksthathavebeenexhibitedaroundtheworld.（南非小鎮(zhèn)漢堡坐落在東開普省最美麗的河口之一。它以其豐富的科薩文化而聞名。這里也是一群女性的家，她們創(chuàng)作了一系列非凡的藝術(shù)品，并在世界各地展出。）可知，第一段的目的是引入文章的主題。故選B。

2.

根據(jù)第二段中的KeiskammaArtProjectwascreatedtoteachlocalwomenembroidery(刺繡)skillstohelpthematatoughtimeeconomicallyandsocially,butunexpectedlyithasgrownintosomethingmuchbigger.（Keiskamma藝術(shù)項目的創(chuàng)建是為了教授當?shù)貗D女刺繡技能，以幫助她們度過經(jīng)濟和社會困難時期，但意想不到的是，它已經(jīng)發(fā)展成了一個更大的項目。）可知，Keiskamma藝術(shù)項獲得了國際聲譽超出了人們的期望。故選B。

3.

根據(jù)第五段中的Byjoining...theXhosaBritishFrontierWarsfrom1776to1876.（通過將完成的面板連接在一起，他們創(chuàng)造了他們的第一個大型作品，也是他們最著名的作品之一，“KeiskammaTapestry”，它講述了科薩人在1776年至1876年的殖民統(tǒng)治和科薩英國邊境戰(zhàn)爭中被征服的歷史。）可知，制作“凱思卡瑪掛毯”的過程是互相合作的。故選C。

4.

根據(jù)第六段中的Thefour-meter-high,four-meter-widepiecerevealsthestrugglesthatelderlyXhosawomenenduredwhentheyouthintheircommunitywerehitbyHIVtwodecadesago,andtheysteppedintocareforchildren.（這件四米高，四米寬的作品揭示了二十年前，當科薩族的年輕人感染艾滋病毒時，年長的科薩婦女所忍受的斗爭，她們挺身而出照顧孩子。）可知，TheKeiskammaAltarpiece展示了科薩人民的苦難。故選A。8~11.【答案】B、A、B、C【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述的是研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，到2100年，南極洲65%的植物和野生動物將減少，現(xiàn)有的保護工作不足以保護南極生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，我們迫切需要結(jié)合全球行動，以最好地保護南極物種。

1.

根據(jù)第一段中的“Antarcticbiodiversitycoulddeclinesubstantiallybytheendofthecenturyifwecontinuewithbusinessasusual.(如果我們繼續(xù)照常營業(yè)，到本世紀末，南極生物多樣性可能會大幅下降。)”可知，這樣繼續(xù)下去，南極的生物多樣性會急劇下降，由此可推知，保護工作是迫切需要的。故選B。

2.

根據(jù)第二段中的"ThislistingreflectsthegrowingextinctioncrisisandhighlightstheimportanceoftheESAandeffortstoconservespeciesbeforepopulationdeclinesbecomeirreversible(不可逆轉(zhuǎn))."saidServiceDirectorMarthaWilliamsatthetime.（“這一名單反映了日益嚴重的物種滅絕危機，凸顯了ESA的重要性，以及在種群數(shù)量下降不可逆轉(zhuǎn)之前保護物種的努力?！碑敃r的服務(wù)主管瑪莎·威廉姆斯說。）可知，氣候變化正在對世界各地的物種產(chǎn)生深遠影響，帝企鵝列人名單是一個行動號召，來保護南極洲野生動物。故選A。

3.

根據(jù)最后一段中的“WeurgentlyneedacombinationofglobalandlocalconservationactiontobestconserveAntarcticspecies.Globalactionandglobalvoicestohelprelieveclimatechange—becausethebiggestthreattoAntarcticaiscomingfromoutsideofit.(我們迫切需要全球和地方保護行動相結(jié)合，以最好地保護南極物種。全球行動和全球聲音幫助緩解氣候變化——因為南極洲面臨的最大威脅來自外部。)”可知，我們迫切需要結(jié)合全球和地方保護行動，這有助于緩解氣候變化。故選B。

4.

根據(jù)首段中的"Antarcticbiodiversitycoulddeclinesubstantiallybytheendofthecenturyifwecontinuewithbusinessasusual."JasmineRachaelLee,leadauthoroftheUniversityofQueenslandstudysays.（“如果我們繼續(xù)一切照舊，到本世紀末，南極的生物多樣性可能會大幅下降。”昆士蘭大學這項研究的主要作者JasmineRachaelLee說。）引出本文講述的話題，及根據(jù)第二段中的PublishedinthejournalPLOSBiology,thestudyfindspopulationdeclinesarelikelyfor65%ofthecontinent'splantsandwildlifebytheyear2100.（這項發(fā)表在《公共科學圖書館生物學》雜志上的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，到2100年，非洲大陸65%的植物和野生動物的數(shù)量可能會下降。）可知，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，到2100年,南極洲65%的植物和野生動物將減少，結(jié)合下文中對這一研究發(fā)現(xiàn)以及對解決這一問題的迫切性的分析可知，本文主要講述的事一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，要采取更多的行動來保護南極的野生物種，所以文本的題目為“應(yīng)采取更多行動保護南極洲的野生動植物”與文章內(nèi)容吻合，且概括了本文的主題。故選C。12~15.【答案】B、A、B、C【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了無人機技術(shù)給我們生活帶來的好處，以及它的未來發(fā)展需要注意的問題。

1.

根據(jù)第一段中“Thispilotlessminiaircraft,originallydevelopedforphotographyfromaboveandwarfare,isnowbringingusbenefitsclosertohome.(這種無人駕駛的微型飛機，最初是為航拍和戰(zhàn)爭而開發(fā)的，現(xiàn)在它給我們帶來了離家更近的好處。)”可知，無人機最初的用途是在調(diào)查和軍事方面。故選B。

2.

劃線詞句后半部分“whichwillactasabaseforpoliceanddeliverydrones(它將作為警察和送貨無人機的基地)”說明這是個基地、交通樞紐，從而推知劃線部分“AndinCoventryintheUK,constructionhasstartedonanairhub(在英國考文垂，一個航空hub已經(jīng)開始建設(shè))”其中劃線詞應(yīng)為“樞紐，中心”的意思。故選A。

3.

根據(jù)第三段中的Dronescouldalsoplayapartinimprovingthehealthofmillionsofpeople.（無人機還在改善數(shù)百萬人的健康方面發(fā)揮作用。）可知，本段講述了無人機可以在改善人們的健康方面發(fā)揮作用。故選B。

根據(jù)最后一段中的Itseemsthatthesky'sthelimitforwhatdronetechnologycanachieve...airspacerulesneedupdatingtopreventaccidents.（似乎無人機技術(shù)所能達到的界限就是天空。有時唯一能讓它站穩(wěn)腳跟的是監(jiān)管。JessicaBrown在為BBC撰寫的文章中寫道：‘如果我們的天空變得和街道一樣擁擠，就需要更新空域規(guī)則，以防止事故發(fā)生。)”可知，作者引用JessicaBrown的話是為了督促無人機管理規(guī)則需要更新。故選C。16~20.【答案】G、A、B、F、E【解析】【文章大意】本文為一篇說明文。文章介紹了非洲綠色長城項目的進展情況。

1.

根據(jù)上文“Desertification,theprocessbywhichfertile(肥沃的)landbecomesdesert,hassevereimpactsonfoodproductionandisworsenedbyclimatechange.(荒漠化是肥沃土地變成沙漠的過程，對糧食生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)生嚴重影響，并因氣候變化而惡化。)”可知，此處介紹了荒漠化的影響；下文“Africa'sGreatGreenWallisaprojecttobuildan8,000-kilometre-longforestacross11ofthecontinent'scountries.(非洲綠色長城?是橫跨非洲11個國家建設(shè)8000公里長的森林的項目。)”，此處介紹了針對非洲的荒漠化現(xiàn)象的解決措施；G項（聯(lián)合國說，非洲有多達45%的土地受到沙漠化的影響，比其他任何大陸都嚴重。）起到承前啟后的作用，上下文銜接連貫。故選G。

根據(jù)上文“TheprojectismeanttocontainthegrowingSaharaDesertandfightclimatechange.(該項目旨在遏制撒哈拉沙漠的擴張并應(yīng)對氣候變化。)”，下文“Theyincludelimitedpoliticalsupport,lackofmoney,weakorganizationalstructures,andnotenoughconsiderationfortheenvironment.(它們包括政治支持有限、缺乏資金、組織結(jié)構(gòu)薄弱以及對環(huán)境考慮不夠。)”，前后有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因為下文列舉的是該項目面臨的困難，設(shè)空處與上文為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，A項（但該項目面臨許多問題。），下文的They呼應(yīng)A項中的manyproblems。上下文銜接連貫，故選A。

根據(jù)上文“Just4millionhectares(公頃)oflandhavebeenturnedintoforestsinceworkontheGreenWallbegan15yearsago.(自從15年前開始修建綠墻以來，只有400萬公頃的土地變成了森林。)”可知，搞項目進展緩慢，B項（這僅僅是該計劃目標的4%。）順接上文，上文中的Just和B項中的only的運用，表明：該項目的進展實在太緩慢了，沒有達到預(yù)想的速度。故選B。
