【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，Pozzi用垃圾雕塑了海洋动物，来提醒全球的人们去保护海洋，禁止人们朝海洋扔垃圾。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“Theseartworksareapowerfulreminderofourpersonalroleandglobalresponsibilityinpreservingbiodiversityonlandandinthesea.”可知这些艺术品展示了人们在海洋生物多样性保护中的个人作用。

即：

警醒人民注意海洋中的塑料污染。

故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“Morethan315billionpoundsofplasticlittertheworld'soceans,today.Mostoftheplasticisgarbagefromtownsandcities,aswellastrashthatpeopleleaveonbeaches.”可知海洋中的塑料垃圾主要是由人类活动所产生的垃圾。

故选D。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第五段中所列的数字信息可以证明：

该项目最近几年在清理海洋垃圾中所做的巨大成绩（已有3800吨垃圾被清理）。

故选C。

（4）考查观点态度。

根据最后一段中的“Theseartworksareapowerfulreminderofourpersonalroleandglobalresponsibilityinpreservingbiodiversityonlandandinthesea.”其中关键信息“powerfulreminder”可知这些艺术品是人们在保护海洋中所起作用的有力证明，故选B。

（5）考查主旨大意。

本文是通过把海洋中的塑料垃圾变成艺术品以唤醒人们的海洋保护意识。

故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，观点态度和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生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。

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，在石油泄露事件中，有很多鸟儿在石油中被粘住，遭受苦难。

救援人员尽最大努力援救它们。

但是科学家们质疑救援工作是否值得。

一方面，获救的鸟儿经历了被捕获、被清理的痛苦之后还是会死去，存活率很低；另一方面，对鸟儿进行安乐死也是很多人不能接受的。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的"becauseresearchsuggeststhatmanyrescuedbirdsdieshortlyafterbeingreleased"因为研究表明许多获救的鸟类在被释放后不久就死亡了。

因此，科学家们怀疑自己在救鸟儿时作的努力可能是白费了，故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“OfthethousandsofbirdsthatwererescuedfromthePrestigeoilspilloffthecoastofSpainin2002,only600werereleasedintothewild;mostoftherestdiedafterjustafewdaysincaptivity”在2002年从西班牙海岸的Prestige石油泄漏事故中获救的数千只鸟类中，只有600只被放生到野外；其余大部分在被关在笼中短短几天后死亡。

根据这些数据可知，被浸在石油中的鸟儿即使获救，他们的存活率也很低。

故选B。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“partofthatincreasemaybeduetogreaterselectivityonthepartofrescuers.Theworkersdobloodtestsrightinthefieldnowandbirdsthatareloadedwithhydrocarbons（碳氢化合物）ordon'tlooklikethey'regoingtomakeitareputdownrightaway”可知，获救的鸟儿存活率将会上升的部分原因可能是由于救援人员方面的做出了更大选择。

工人们对获救的鸟儿做血液测试，那些身上满是石油或看起来不会活下来的鸟儿立刻被放弃了。

工人们选择性地抢救那些有存活可能的鸟儿。

故选C。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据第五段中的“whilereleaseratesmaybeimproving,thereislittleevidenceofbettermediumorlong-termsurvival和rescueeffortswillcontinueinlargepartbecausethepublicdemandsthatEuthanasiaisadifficultthingtodo,especiallyforpeoplewhohavebuilttheirlivesaroundsavinganimals”可知，一方面虽然释放率在提高，但是几乎没有证据表明被释放的鸟儿生存状况更好；另一方面，救援工作仍将继续，因为安乐死是一件困难的事情，特别是对于那些从事拯救动物的工作的人来说。

所以是否救这些被油浸过的鸟儿还是一个有争议的问题。

援救那些鸟儿，对于鸟儿来说也要遭受痛苦，而看到它们的死去也是很残忍的。

故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
