【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,对于音乐爱好者来说,非常重大的加拿大音乐事件Bluesfest,在上周工作人员在现场发现了一只小水鸟,它在附近下了四个蛋,把主要舞台区域作为它的筑巢地,以及就主办方准备将鸟巢搬离此处引发了人们讨论。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第二段中的“ThefirsthintoftroubleforOttawa'sBluesfest,anoutdoorfestivalthatdrawsaround300,000peopleeachyear,camelastweekafterworkersatthesitefoundoneofthebirds.”可知渥太华的Bluesfest,是一个每年吸引约30万人参加的户外节日。

“这是我们面临的最具挑战性的问题之一,我觉得我们可以解决这个问题”。
得知保护鸟蛋是今年Bluesfest面临挑战的事情。
故选C。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据第五段中的“ThefestivalisnowseekingpermissionfromEnvironmentCanadatorelocate(搬迁)thenestsome50metersawayortakeittoawildlifecenter.”可知现在该节日正在寻求加拿大环境部的许可,将鸟巢迁移到50米外,或带到野生动物中心,可以得知为了解决这个问题,节日筹备方打算把鸟巢搬到另一个地方。
故选A。
(4)考查词义猜测。
根据第五段中的“Movingthenestwouldalsoensurethebirdanditsyoungwouldbeprotectedduringthefestival's11-dayrun,saidMonahan.It'shighlylikelythatthefestival'sthousandsofattendeeswouldcausehugeproblemsforthebirdanditseggs.”可知Monahan说,为期11天的节日活动中,移动鸟巢能确保鸟儿和其幼鸟得到保护。

可以推断出当时的处境困难,故选A。
