（1）考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“It'surgenttoaddressongoingthreats,bothbecausethedominoeffects（多米诺效应）canleadtothedecayofecosystemsthathumansdependonforourownhealthandlivelihoods”可知，解决持续的威胁迫在眉睫，人类依赖生态系统以生存和保持健康，这里的威胁指多米诺效应会破坏人们的生态系统，可以判断多米诺效应会让生态系统恶化，故选B。

（2）考查段落大意。

根据第三段“在过去10年中，在整个非洲大陆143个天气雷达站对候鸟的探测，以及通过在当地进行的多次监测工作收集到的近50年的数据......公民科学参与者也做出了很大贡献，分析北美繁殖鸟类调查数据，这是北美鸟类长期、大规模数据的主要来源。

”可知，本段主要介绍了研究的数据来源，故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“Whatourbirdsneednowisanhistoric,hemisphericeffortthatunitespeopleandorganizationswithonecommongoal:

bringingourbirdsback.”可知，鸟类现在需要的是一项历史性的、半球性的努力，把人们和组织团结起来实现一个共同目标：

考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
