【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了长颈鹿濒临灭绝的原因,并指出提供准确的数据,提高人们的保护意识至关重要。

根据第一段中的“Surprisingly,evenscientistshaven'tgivenmuchattentiontogiraffes.Wearelearningmoreabouttheirecology,butwhatweknowisstillwaybehindwhatweknowaboutotherspecies.”可知人们对其关注很少,了解很少,这时期灭绝的原因,所以silentextinction意为在人们不知不觉中灭绝。
故选D。

根据第二段中的“InTanzania,Hennessysays,thelatestwordonthestreetisthateatinggiraffemeatcouldcureAIDS.Freshgiraffeheadsandbonescanbesoldatpricesofupto$140perpiece.”可知人们认为长颈鹿肉能治愈艾滋病,因此其肉价很贵,故选D。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“Thereisalackofrightandtruedata.”可知造成人们误解的原因是,缺乏正确真实的数据,再根据第四段中的“Hennessyandotherresearchersarenowpullingtogetherthedataneededtoimprovethesituationoftheentiregiraffespeciesandallninesubspecies(亚种).”可知要想根正人们的认知,需要提供准确可靠的数据,故选C。
(4)考查写作意图。
根据最后一段中的“Hehopesthattheworldwillfinallystarttotakenoticeofhowendangeredthesebelovedanimalshavebecome.”可知Hennessy的努力的目的是提高公众保护长颈鹿的意识。
故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测,推理判断和写作意图四个题型的考查,是一篇环保类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
