【答案】

（1）D

（2）D

（3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因，并指出提供准确的数据，提高人们的保护意识至关重要。

（1）考查词义猜测。

根据第一段中的“Surprisingly,evenscientistshaven'

tgivenmuchattentiontogiraffes.Wearelearningmoreabouttheirecology,butwhatweknowisstillwaybehindwhatweknowaboutotherspecies.”可知人们对其关注很少，了解很少，这时期灭绝的原因，所以silentextinction意为在人们不知不觉中灭绝。

故选D。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“InTanzania,Hennessysays,thelatestwordonthestreetisthateatinggiraffemeatcouldcureAIDS.Freshgiraffeheadsandbonescanbesoldatpricesofupto$140perpiece.”可知人们认为长颈鹿肉能治愈艾滋病，因此其肉价很贵，故选D。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“Thereisalackofrightandtruedata.”可知造成人们误解的原因是，缺乏正确真实的数据，再根据第四段中的“Hennessyandotherresearchersarenowpullingtogetherthedataneededtoimprovethesituationoftheentiregiraffespeciesandallninesubspecies（亚种）.”可知要想根正人们的认知，需要提供准确可靠的数据，故选C。

（4）考查写作意图。

根据最后一段中的“Hehopesthattheworldwillfinallystarttotakenoticeofhowendangeredthesebelovedanimalshavebecome.”可知Hennessy的努力的目的是提高公众保护长颈鹿的意识。

故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和写作意图四个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步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。
