B．Noticed.C．Doubted. D．Confirmed.解析：选B词义猜测题。第二段主要是介绍长颈鹿数量不断减少的现状。根据画线单词后文中的Untilnowthedisappearanceoftheanimalshasnotbeenobservedclosely.并结合此句中silentdisappearance可知，人们没有觉察到、注意到这些动物的消失。画线词detected与noticed同义，故选B项。2．WhichisNOTapossiblereasonforthedecreaseofgiraffes?A．CivilwarsinAfrica.B．Lossofthehabitats.C．Climatechange.D．Theirwidelivingspace.解析：选D细节理解题。文中第四段分析了长颈鹿数量减少的原因，包括污染和气候变化的影响，人类占领长颈鹿的栖息地，动物被人类捕杀，非洲的内战使保护动物更加困难。故D项(广阔的生活空间)不是长颈鹿数量减少的原因。3．HowcangiraffesbehelpedaccordingtoHilton­taylor?A．ByattractingmoretouriststoAfrica.B．Bystoppingtheglobalwarming.C．Bylearningmoreaboutthecommunity.D．Bymovinglocalpeopleaway.解析：选A细节理解题。根据最后一段中Hilton­taylorsaysgiraffescanbehelped.“It'snottoolate,andwecanturnthingsaround.”Someoftheideasthatworkincludecommunityinvolvementandtourism.Tourism,forexample,providesjobsforlocalpeople.可知，Hilton­taylor认为我们可以采取措施帮助长颈鹿，包括社区参与和发展旅游业，旅游业可以为当地人提供就业机会。故选A项。4．Whichmightbethemostsuitabletitleforthepassage?A．GiraffesAreChangingAfricaB．SilentDisappearanceofGiraffesC．TourismandNatureProtectionD．WildlifeCanBeSavedinFuture解析：选B标题归纳题。本文介绍了非洲长颈鹿数量不断减少的现状，分析了其原因，并介绍了一些保护措施。第二段中Itisahugetragedyandit'sbeensortofasilentdisappearancethatwejustreallyhaven'tdetecteduntilnow.点明了本文主题，又能吸引读者。故B项(长颈鹿的无声消失)适合作为本文标题。Ⅱ.完形填空MartinFolsomwaswell­knowninhisschoolthissummer.However,hehada1startinlife.Livingonandoffthestreetsformuchofhisyouth,Martinexperiencedyearsof2.Yet,hedidn'tstophisfootsteps.Thissummer,Martin3highschoolinFloridawithahighscore,whichmadehim4standoutofhisclassandenabledhimtomakea(n)5atthegraduationceremony.Martinandhismotherhadnowheretoliveafterhisfatherdesertedthem.Asaresult,theyhadto6alot.Morethantwoyears,theylivedinanumberof7acrossfivedifferentstates.Butthroughoutthese8years,Martinremaineddeterminedandnever9hisgoals.Henevermissedschoolandwasthehighest­rankingstudentin2020Martinalsoexperiencedlifeinandoutoftheclassroom.Hewasthepresidentofseveralprogramsand10theclassmonitorinthelastfouryears.“He'ssuchaspecialguyand11leader，”PrincipalCathyBurestoldthereporter.“Hehasabigheartforhisclassmates,12themthatthey'reapromisinggeneration.”13Martin'seffortsandexcellence,hehasbeenadmittedtoValdostaStateUniversityinGeorgiaMartin's14tostudentsistomakegoalsearlyandworkhardtowardsthem.Hesaid,“Youneverknowwhetheryou'llmakeit,orwhatyoucanendupachieving.Butyouneedto15big.Andonceyousucceed,youwillfeelreallyfantastic.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。MartinFolsom在多年无家可归的情况下，依然能凭借高分从高中毕业，还被大学以全额奖学金录取。Martin在毕业典礼上鼓励学生尽早设定目标，并为之努力。1．A.slow
