【答案】

（1）A

（2）D

（3）C

（4）A

【解析】【分析】本文属于议论文，围绕加利福尼亚的大树从20世纪30年代以来大量减少为主题，探讨出现这一现象的原因。

（1）段落大意题。

第二段第一句Thenumberoftreeslargerthantwofeetacrosshasdeclinedby50percentonmorethan46,000squaremilesofCaliforniaforests为主题句，意思是：

在4.6万平方英里的加利福尼亚的森林中，直径超过2英尺的树木的数量已经减少了50%。

所以本段主要介绍加州的树木损失的严重情况，故答案为A。

（2）细节理解题。

题干中的well-intentioned意为“好意的”。

根据第三段描述：

伐木者对大树的砍伐、住房向森林里推进、对野火的控制使得小树与大树竞争资源都是导致大树减少的原因。

控制野火的初衷是保护森林，但是却导致大树得不到足够的资源而死亡。

故答案为D。

（3）细节理解题。

将watershortage 定位在第五段，而Mclntyre在最后一段，根据 thebiggestfactorsdrivingupwaterstressinthestatehavebeenrisingtemperatures,whichcausetreestolosemorewatertotheair可知，导致水源紧张的是上升的温度，造成树木将更多的水分散失到空气中。

故答案为C。

（4）主旨大意题。

文章的第一句是本文的主题句，文章围绕加利福尼亚大量的大树死亡展开，对大树数量减少的原因进行研究。

故答案为A。

【点评】本文属于生态环保类文章，文章的首段第一句即为本文的主题句。

阅读是紧扣主旨，快速浏览文章内容。

答题时注意根据问题中的关键词在文章中定位，然后分析关键词所在句子的信息。
