20、otraditionalads.答案A解析句意理解题。根据第四段的内容，尤其是“InMoscow，forexample，anewformofadvertisingtargetingmotoristshassplitopinion.”可知，莫斯科民众对一款面向汽车司机的新广告褒贬不一，也就是说，人们对这类广告在意见上有分歧。由此可知，画线句应是指有人无法忍受这样一个被各种广告充斥的世界。故选A。6.Whatistheproblemwithdigitalbillboardsaccordingtosomeobservers?A.Theyfailtoremindpeopleofdangeronther

32、art(42%) fromprogramstoconserveandexpandforests.Indiacomesfromintensive(集约的) growingoffoodcrops.”可知，中国和印度正引领着地球绿化的增加，而这主要源于中国的植树计划和两国的集约化农业。故选C。9.Whichofthefollowingstatementsmaytheresearchersagreewith?A.ThegreeningtrendinIndiawillcontinuetogoupwards.B.More“greening”meansbettercontrolofclimatechange

33、.C.LandoverusethreatensthesuccessinthegreeningontheEarth.D.Thesustainabilityinglobalecosystemswillbegreatlyimproved.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，中国和印度的绿化面积占全球绿化面积的三分之一，但仅有全球9%的植被覆盖面积，考虑到人口稠密的国家普遍存在过度开发导致土地退化的现象，这是一个令人惊讶的发现。由此可推知，人们对土地的过度使用威胁着地球绿化的成功。故选C。10.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“offset”inthelastbutonepa

34、ragraphprobablymean?A.Prevent.B.Survive.C.Interrupt.D.Balance.答案D解析词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，巴西和印度尼西亚等热带地区的生态系统的可持续性和生物多样性所受的负面影响仍然存在。再结合第三段的内容可知，画线词所在句的含义应是：研究人员指出，印度和中国主导的全球绿化的增加并不能抵消巴西和印度尼西亚等热带地区自然植被减少所带来的损失。offset是“抵消，弥补”之意，与balance“相抵，抵消”的含义相近。故选D。11.HowdoesNemanifeelaboutthefindings?A.Theyareapositi
