emotionaltensionofitsdisciplinedpositionsetitapart（那并非一幅引人注目的油畫，但其深邃而神秘的色彩，

有限，主要是通過家庭成員和朋友口口相傳的方式獲得的。他的許多畫作未能抵御潮濕的東南亞氣候，也

未能在他的一生中的政治混亂中幸存）”可知，今天很少有他的作品，故選A項。

【26題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Murros'biographyis,bynecessity,briefbecausethereislimitedknowledgeofthe

artist,mostlyinoralwaybyfamilyandfriends.（Murros的傳記之所以簡短，是因為關(guān)于這位藝術(shù)家的信息非

型追蹤設(shè)備，用于研究野生動物。

【28題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Solarpoweredtrackersarealsoapoorchoicefortheybreakeasilyanddon'twork

fornightcreatures（太陽能跟蹤器也是一個糟糕的選擇，因為它們很容易損壞，對夜間生物不起作用）”可知,

太陽能追蹤器很容易損壞，所以新型追蹤器應(yīng)是會避免這一缺點，比它更堅固，故選B。

【29題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Asthetaggedanimalmoves,theswingingpendulumforcesaringtoslideacrossa

coppercoil,generatingcurrentwhichisthenusedtopowerthesensorsforGPSunit.（當被標記的動物移動時,擺

動的鐘擺迫使一個環(huán)在銅線圈上滑動，產(chǎn)生電流，然后用于為GPS裝置的傳感器供電）”可知，新型追蹤器

的電源是由動物移動產(chǎn)生的，故選C。

【30題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句"Oneofthewildpony^trackerslastedatleast146daysbutdidn'tproduce

一種野生小馬追蹤器至少持續(xù)了146天，但無法產(chǎn)生足夠的能量來進行日常傳輸）”可知，測試結(jié)果表明該

設(shè)備仍然需要一些改進，故選A。

【31題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句"ButStuddsaysthatwithabitmoredevelopment,thiscouldbeagame

changerforwildlifeanimalresearchandmonitoring.（但是Studd說，隨著更多的發(fā)展，這可能會改變野生動物

研究和監(jiān)測的游戲規(guī)則）”可知，EmilyStudd對新型設(shè)備的未來充滿希望，故選B。
