文章主要讲述了《墨西哥、中美洲和加勒比地区的鸟鸣指南》是一张将要发行的电子音乐专辑，其收益将直接用于拯救鸟类的行动。

1.A【解析】词句猜测题。

根据文章最后两句“Thatfirstalbumhasraised,todate,over$15,000benefittingconservationprojectsinSouthAmerica.Aswiththefirstalbum,allofthemoneyfromthesalesofthenewalbumwillsupportspecificorganizations,includingBirdsCaribbean.”可知，迄今为止第一张专辑已经筹集了超过15000美元，使南美洲的保护项目受益。

与第一张专辑一样，新专辑销售的全部收入将用于支持特定组织，包括BirdsCaribbean。

由此可知，新专辑产生的“收益”将直接用于拯救鸟类的行动，因此划线词的意思应为“收入，收益”。

故选A项。

2.B【解析】细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“AlObando,guitaristandproducerofthegroup,alwaystookinnationalparksandviewedbirdswhenontheroadwiththeband.”可知，乐队的吉他手兼制作人AlObando经常在国家公园里参观，并在与乐队一起出行时欣赏鸟类。

由此可推知，使她感到吃惊的是这类鸟因为人类活动的影响正在丧失其生存环境而处于濒临灭绝的境遇中。

故选C项。

4.D【解析】推理判断题。

根据第一段中的“Aninternationalgroupofelectronicmusiccomposersistakingbeatsfromthedanceclubtojunglesandforestsandback,alltohelpsavenature’sgreatestsingers.AGuidetotheBirdsongofMexico,CentralAmericaandtheCaribbeanisanewalbumthatincludesthesoundsofendangeredbirds.”可知，一个国际电子音乐作曲家团体往返于舞蹈俱乐部、丛林和森林之间以帮助拯救大自然中最伟大的歌手。

根据第二段中的“Thewholeprojectwasbornoutofthisideaoftryingtocombinebirdsong,electronicmusicandconservation.”可知，整个项目就是基于将鸟鸣，电子音乐和自然保护相结合的想法而诞生的。

根据第三段的“FirstsingleBlackCatbirdwascreatedbyTheGarifunaCollective,fromBelize.”可知，来自Belize的GarifunaCollective创作了第一只单曲BlackCatbird。

根据第四段中的“AnothermusicianwhorespondedtoRobin’scallisTamaraMontenegro,anartistfromNicaragua.”可知，回应Robin的呼吁的另一位音乐家是尼加拉瓜的艺术家TamaraMontenegro。

由此可知，本文主要介绍的是一张新电子音乐专辑《墨西哥、中美洲和加勒比地区的鸟鸣指南》，文章就其创作理念及部分单曲的创作过程信息做了介绍。

故选D项。
