【9题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Forexample,outdoorlightingbadlyaffectsmigrating(迁徙)birds.AccordingtotheInternationalDark-SkyAssociation,“100millionbirdsayearthroughoutNorthAmericadieincrasheswithlightedbuildingsandtowers.”(这个种群包括鸟、蝙蝠、青蛙、蛇等。例如，室外照明严重影响候鸟。据国际黑暗天空协会称，“在北美，每年有1亿只鸟死于与灯火通明的建筑物和塔楼相撞。”)”可推知，对户外照明的态度是担忧的。故选C项。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。分析全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了许多人想在晚上看流星雨，结果由于光线太亮，影响了他们的观看效果，由此引发了人们对光污染的思考，并且反复强调了光污染问题对人类活动和动物的影响，所以最想给我们的信息应该是：人类活动应该是环境友好型的。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了邓小岚带领来自阜平县马兰村和邻近村庄的44名儿童在2022年北京冬奥会开幕式上演唱了奥运会歌。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Herinspirationalteachingandtheenthusiasmandtalentofherstudentsmadethe44childrenfromMalanvillageandneighboringvillagesinFupingcountysingtheOlympicantheminGreekattheopeningceremonyofthe2022BeijingWinterOlympicsonFeb4.(2月4日，在2022年北京冬奥会开幕式上，她鼓舞人心的教学以及学生们的热情和天赋，让来自阜平县马兰村和邻近村庄的44名儿童用希腊语唱起了奥运会歌)”可知，邓鼓舞人心的教学行为和学生的天赋促成了这44名学生在开幕式上的演唱。故选B。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Undertheinfluenceofherparents,whobothhadapassionformusic,shelearnedtheviolinandsingingwhenshewasyoung.(在她热爱音乐的父母的影响下，她从小就学习小提琴和唱歌)”可知，邓小岚的父母在她对音乐的热爱中起了重要作用。故选D。

【14题详解】

词句猜测题。根据画线单词所在句中“DuringtheJapaneseaggression,19Malanlocalswerekilledforrefusingtodivulgeinformationaboutthenewspaper.”可知，在倭国侵略期间，19名马兰当地人因拒绝divulge有关该报的信息而被杀害，即马兰当地人被倭国侵略者杀害，应该是因为拒绝泄露有关报纸的信息，故画线词意为“泄露”。故选C。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“DengbegantotravelbetweenBeijingandthevillagesince2023toteachthechildrenmusic.Shecollectedinstrumentsandalsorebuilttheschoolhousesbyraisingfundsandusingherownpension.Asthechildrenhadnobackgroundinmusic,shehadtoteachthembasicmusictheory.(邓小岚从2023年开始往返于北京和村子之间，教孩子们音乐。她收集乐器，并通过筹集资金和使用自己的养老金重建学校房屋。由于孩子们没有音乐背景，她不得不教他们基本的音乐理论)”可知，邓小岚为了教孩子们音乐，从2023年开始往返于北京和村子之间，并使用自己的养老金重建学校房屋，由此可知，她是有献身精神的人；由于孩子们没有音乐背景，她会教他们基本的音乐理论，由此可知，她是一个体贴的人，综上所述，邓小岚是一个乐于助人且有奉献精神的人。故选B。
