【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，一些国际语言被广泛用于许多目的，多数人学习更多的国际语言是为了找到一份好工作。

”Ireckonthatmostcommonusedinternationallanguageseaseourlifequalityandcommunicationwithdifferentnationalities.”我认为最常用的国际语言缓解我们的生活质量和与不同民族的沟通。

由上下文联系推知划线词的意思是“想，认为”。

故选D。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了出现在秘鲁南部Nazca沙漠的大型古代地画TheNazcaLines，其神奇之处及形成原因。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“TheNazcaLinesareaseriesoflargeancientgeoglyphs（地画）intheNazcaDesert,insouthernPeru.”及对TheNazcaLines图案和发现过程的具体介绍，可知theNazcaLines是出现在秘鲁南部Nazca沙漠的大型古代地画，故选D。

Aretheyroads,starpointers，maybeevenagiganticmap?

Ifthepeoplewholivedhere2,000yearsagohadonlyasimpletechnology,howdidtheymanagetoconstructsuchprecisefigures?

Didtheyhaveaplan?

”四方面使人迷惑的问题，可知这四个因素使theNazcaLines更独特更使人们难忘，故选D。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“TheNazcaplainisuniqueforitsabilitytopreservethemarkingsuponit,duetothecombinationoftheclimateandtheflat,stonygroundwhichminimizestheeffectofthewindatgroundlevel.”可知因为这里干燥少雨的气候和平坦多石的地形使地画能很好的被保留，故选C。
