D.Twonewspaperreports.答案：1-4DBCB解析：1．这是一道主旨题。第一个短文是一个新闻，介绍了马戏团出现了老虎袭击训兽狮后被击毙的悲剧，从而说明动物进入马戏团是悲惨不幸的，号召人们保护马戏团的动物，选D.2．这是一道推理题。根据第一段中“Asthecircuspackedupandleft,circusofficialssaidtheshowwouldgoon,evenwithouttigers.”说明马戏团还将继续演出，选B.3．这是一道细节推断题。根据“Tous,theperforminganimalsarerepresentativesoftheirspecies,andourcircusisoneoftheonlyplacesleftwillingtosupportthisspecialroleofperforminganimalsintheexistenceofthespecies.”所以马戏团认为他们保护了表演动物的物种。4．这是一道推理题。根据两篇文中的内容，第一个是说马戏团里的动物生活悲惨，第二个说马戏团认为他们保护了动物。两篇文中针锋相对，第一篇显然是新闻，而第二篇是针对第一篇的反击C23.—HaveyouheardthatSusanhasbeenappointedDirectoroftheEngineeringDepartment?
