【2】考查名词词义辨析。句意:人群可能会损害这个地方的美好。A. stories故事;B. buildings建筑;C. crowds人群;D. reporters记者。这里与前文40000 people对应,就指大量前来登山的人。故选C项。
【3】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:听说这些后,我开始怀疑这个地方。A. silent沉默的;B. doubtful怀疑的;C. serious严肃的;D. crazy疯狂的。从破折号后的句子可知,其他地方似乎要比乞力马扎罗山更显纯净,让作者对自己过往的印象产生了怀疑。故选B项。
【4】考查动词词义辨析。句意:不过我很快就发现,自从那令人不安的声称营地被无数垃圾包围的报道之后,情况发生了改变。A. discover发现;B. argue争辩;C. decide决定;D. admit承认。从下文内容来看,作者亲眼目睹了环境的改造情况,也就是发现了改变。故选A项。
