B．Theviolentwinds.C．Theheatitgivesout. D．Thelengthofitslife.解析：細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第四段“Water，ratherthanwind，isthemainsourceofdeathanddestroyinginahurricane.”可知，水是颶風(fēng)造成死亡和破壞的主要因素，而不是風(fēng)。BTimeflies,butthetracksoftimeremaininbooksandmuseums.ThisiswhatmadearecenttragedyinBrazilevenmoreterrible.OnSept2,abigfirebrokeoutintheNationalMuseumofBrazil,theoldestscientificinstitutioninthecountry,inRiodeJaneiro.Twohundredyearsofwork,researchandknowledgewerelost,BrazilianPresidentMichelTemerwroteonTwitterafterthefire.It'sasaddayforallBrazilians.Mostofthe20millionpiecesofhistoryarebelievedtohavebeendestroyed.Onlyaslittleas10percentofthecollectionmayhavesurvived,Timereported.Amongalltheitems,therewereEgyptianmummies,thebonesofuniquelyBraziliancreaturessuchasthelong—neckeddinosaurMaxakalisaurus,andan11,500-year-oldskullcalledLuzia,whichwasconsideredoneofSouthAmerica'soldesthumanfossils.Besidesthese,Brazil'slocalknowledgealsosuffered.Themuseumhousedworldfamouscollectionsoflocalobjects,aswellasmanyaudiorecordingsoflocallanguagesfromalloverBrazil.Someoftheserecordings,nowlost,wereoflanguagesthatarenolongerspoken.“ThetragedythisSundayisasortofnationalsuicide(自殺),acrimeagainstourpastandfuturegenerations.”BernardMelloFranco,oneofBrazil'sbest-knownreporterswroteonthenewspapersite.Thecauseofthefireisstillunknown,asBBCNewsreportedonSept3.Afterthefireburnedout,crowdsprotested(抗議)outsidethemuseumtoshowtheirangeratthelossoftheirreplaceableitemsofhistoricalvalue.AccordingtoEmilioBruna,anecologistattheUniversityofFlorida,museumsareliving,breathingplacesofwhoweareandwherewe'vecomefrom,andtheworldaroundus.Thoseinsectspinnedinadrawer,orthosefishinajar,orafeatheredcape(斗篷)youmightseeinadisplaycase——thatrepresentsalittlepieceofwhoweareasapeople,ashumans,aspartofagreaterworld,hetoldNationalGeographic.Justasunderwatergrassfloatsonthesurfaceifitlosesitsroots,anationislostwithoutitsmemories.文章大意：巴西博物館在一場大火中幾乎化為灰燼，很多歷史文物都被燒毀了，包括一些巴西本土的文物，相關(guān)的歷史學(xué)問也就此失去。很多人對此表示了惋惜之情。5．WhatdoweknowfromBrazilianPresident'swordsonTwitter？__D__A．HefeltresponsibleforthefireofNationalMuseum.B．Themuseumistheoldestnationalscientificinstitution.C．AllBraziliansfeltsorryforthefirethatday.D．ThefirecausedserioushistoricallosstoBrazil.解析：推理推斷題。依據(jù)其次段中的“Twohundredyearsofwork,researchandknowledgewerelost,BrazilianPresidentMichelTemerwroteonTwitterafterthefire.It'sasaddayforallBrazilians.”以及第三段中的“Mostofthe20millionpiecesofhistoryarebelievedtohavebeendestroyed.”可知，對全部巴西人來說，這是一個可悲的日子，承載著2000萬年歷史的文物大部分都被燒毀，只剩下10%的藏品幸免于難?；馂?zāi)給巴西造成了嚴(yán)峻的歷史損失。故選D。6．Whichofthefollowingmighthavesurvivedinthebigfire？__C__A．Egyptianmummies.B．Thelong—neckeddinosaurMaxakalisaurus.C．Someaudiorecordingsoflocallanguages.D．An11,500-year-oldskullcalledLuzia.解析：細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第三段可知，承載著2000萬年歷史的文物大部分都被燒毀，只剩下10%的藏品幸免于難。在燒毀的這些藏品中，有埃及木乃伊、巴西特有的長頸恐龍馬薩卡利神龍的骸骨以及11.5萬年前的人類頭骨化石“露西亞”。但沒有說哪種藏品幸免于難。依據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知，博物館中藏有著名全球的巴西當(dāng)?shù)匚奈镆约鞍臀鞲鞯卣Z言的大量音頻檔案。如今被燒毀的一些音頻中還錄有已經(jīng)失傳的語言。由此可推斷，雖然來自巴西各地的很多當(dāng)?shù)卣Z言錄音中的一些已經(jīng)丟失一部分，但照舊有一些本地語言的錄音幸存下來。故選C。7．Afterthefire，__D__.A．a(chǎn)lltherecordsoflocalknowledgeweredestroyedB．therateofsuicideandcrimewasrisingsharplyC．peopleprotestedagainsttheabuseofpowerofthegovernmentD．peopleofdifferentwalksoflifeshowedtheirpityforthefire解析：推理推斷題。依據(jù)第六段中的“Afterthefireburnedout,crowdsprotestedoutsidethemuseumtoshowtheirangeratthelossoftheirreplaceableitemsofhistoricalvalue.”可知，火災(zāi)過后，人群聚集在博物館外抗議，表達他們對于失去這些無可替代的寶貴歷史文物的生氣。由此可推斷出，各行各業(yè)的人們對火災(zāi)的惋惜。故選D。8．Inwhichsectionofanewspapercanwereadthisarticle？__B__A．Advertisement.
