【语篇导读】为了解决海狸鼠泛滥成灾的问题，一些生态学家及时尚爱好者正试图重新将海狸鼠毛皮带回市场。一些不同寻常的时装秀展示了由海狸鼠的毛皮制成的衣服，并向大众宣传不要因为穿戴由海狸鼠毛皮制作而成的衣物而心生罪恶感。
1. A 细节理解题。由题干中的 New Orleans and Brklyn可定位至原文第二段。根据第二段可知，在新奥尔良与布鲁克林举办这些不同寻常的时装秀的目的是让人们在重新穿上由海狸鼠毛皮制成的衣物的同时不会产生罪恶感，即为了宣传“零罪恶感”的海狸鼠毛皮。故选A项。
2. A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的the nutria are destrying vast wetlands every year及第四段中的The ecsystem dwn there can’t handle this nn-native species. It’s destrying the envirnment.可知，科学家们担心的是海狸鼠对生态系统造成严重破坏。故选A项。
3. D词义猜测题。根据画线词前的The fur trade kept nutria in check fr decades可知，几十年来海狸鼠的数量都因毛皮交易而得到良好控制；再结合画线词后的... multiplied like crazy可知，后来海狸鼠又泛滥成灾，并可推断出造成这一现象的原因是毛皮交易市场生意惨淡，人们对海狸鼠毛皮的需求下降。由此可猜测， cllapse的意思是“垮掉”，与crash意义相近。A项意为“繁荣”；B项意为“发展成熟”；C项意为“维持稳定”。因此，A、B、C项均不符合语境。
4. B推理判断题。由题干中的Mrgan可定位至原文最后一段。根据文章最后一段第二句可知，佩奇·摩根认为在纽约，要让人们在穿着由动物毛皮制成的衣物的同时还可以不用担心被人泼油漆这一想法还是很大胆的，从而可推断出，在纽约穿动物毛皮制成的衣物是有风险的。故选B项。【微技能】根据上下文内容的逻辑关系猜测词义
任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都与句子所在的段落及整篇文章有关。在做猜测词义题时，考生应利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行符合逻辑的综合分析，并依此来推测生词在语境中的含义。
如本题就可根据上下文内容的逻辑关系来猜测词义，画线词上文的kept nutria in check(海狸鼠的数量受到控制)与下文的multiplied like crazy(疯狂地繁殖)之间为转折关系，画线词所在部分的内容应是造成海狸鼠疯狂繁殖这种后果的原因，由此可猜测这是由毛皮交易市场的不景气导致的，再结合选项可知， crash 与cllapse 的意思最接近。
