语篇解读

本文主要介绍了在过去没有其他快捷的通讯方式的情况下，信鸽起到的巨大作用。

比如，两次世界大战期间，信鸽成为传递信息的主要途径。

另外，文章还列举了几个著名的信鸽的事迹。

1.D推理判断题。

文章里列举了一些具体时段里信鸽起到的重要作用，比如1815年时Rothschild利用信鸽提供的信息变成富翁、第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战期间信鸽传递信息救助士兵等。

由此可推知，D项正确

2.C词义猜测题。

第二段讲述的是英法战争期间，多数人认为英国要失败了，因此政府债券价格大跌，很多人绝望地抛售政府债券，而Rothschild偷偷地收购这些债券。

Snapup意为“抢购”，只有C项有“购进”的意思。

3.B推理判断题。

根据第六段第一句“Carrierpigeonsareaslightlydifferentbreedfromthekindofpigeonyouseeoncitystreets.”可知，信鸽和普通的鸽子是不同的。

由此可以推断出，不是所有的鸽子都可以作为信鸽的。

故答案选B。

4.B推理判断题。

根据第三段最后一句“InWorldWarⅡ…USPigeonService.”可知，二战期间，美国有关机构有3000多名士兵和150多名官员专门负责照顾和培训信鸽用来为战争服务。

由此可以推断出，信鸽需要专业训练才能更好地传递信息。

故答案选B。
