【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,法国凡尔赛宫举办的国际计量大会,将对目前使用的国际单位制中的四个基本单位进行重新定义,其中包括对千克的重新定义。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“manhasbeenthemeasureofmany,ifnotall,things”以及下文提到的用作计量单位的手、脚、谷物重量和参考角豆种子重量的磅可知,本段主要讲述了不同的东西被用作计量单位。
故选B。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,研究表明人类以及其他动物对狼的恐惧对维持健康、平衡的生态系统是有益的,其中黄石公园灰狼的引进就是一个典型的例子。
(1)考查词义猜测。
根据第三段中的"Wewerereallysurprisedatthat"可知,黄石公园在意想不到的方面从重新引入狼中获益。
故选A。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第五段中的“Tolearnmoreaboutjusthowwolvesarebeneficial,ashortdocumentaryfromQuestexplainshowthepresenceofwolvesinfluencesthebehaviorofdeer,whicheventuallymakesentireecosystemsmorebiologicallydiverseandhealthy.”可知,拍摄纪录片的目的是了解狼是如何对生态有益的。
故选D。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据最后一段中的“Theresearchisonemorepieceofevidenceforwhyprotectingthesetoppredatorsisimportantnotjustforwolvesasaspecies,butforhundredsofspeciesateverylevelofanecosystem.”可知,这项研究再次证明了为什么保护这些食肉动物不仅对狼这个物种很重要,而且对生态系统的各个层面的物种都很重要。
故这项研究的意义在于它有助于证明保护狼的重要性。
故选B。
(4)考查主旨大意。
本文主要讲述了人类以及其他动物对狼的恐惧对维持健康、平衡的生态系统是有益的,因为食草动物不会过度繁殖,从而保护了植物的生长。
故选A。
