答案：
I.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国说唱歌手 Kendrick Lamar在音乐方面的成就。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句It’s an amazing album that dcuments the real life f mdem African in Suth Las Angeles with wildly accmplished beats and rhythms.可知，Lamar的专辑DAMN是关于南洛杉矶现代黑人的生活。故选D。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第四段内容 Lamar’s win is cnsidered t be histrical. The Pulitzer Prize has lng displayed its preference tward high art rather than the pp culture f the masses. S it’s nt just that n rapper has ever wn a Pulitzer Prize：n pp music maker has in the award’s75-year histry.可知，Lamar的获奖被认为是历史性的，普利策奖长期以来表现出他们对高雅艺术而非大众流行文化的偏爱，因此，不仅说唱歌手没有获得过普利策奖，在该奖项75年的历史上，也没有流行音乐制作人获得过普利策奖。由此可推断它被认为是流行音乐的里程碑。故选B。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第六段内容“He’s an artist wh challenges ideas,” said Ryan Cgler, directr f the blckbuster（大片）Black Panther，fr which Lamar created music. “One big theme in ur film is this idea f, ‘What des it mean t be an African？’ Kendrick in his music is very directly challenging that questin.”可知，Lamar为大片 Black panther刨作了音乐，大片的导演 Ryan Cgler说：“他是一位挑战思想的艺术家。我们电影的一大主题是作为一个非洲人意味着什么？Kendrick在他的音乐中对这个问题提出了非常直接的挑战。由此可推断Lamar的音乐与 Beck panther的主题很相配。故选D。

2.D 根据空格前面一句 It was full f pthles，middy tire racks and deep wds un bth sides，可知，到处都是坑坑洼洼和泥泞的轮胎印迹，两边都是茂密的树林。由此可推断，探索它仍然似乎像一次不错的冒险。D选项和前句中都有，指代 an ld dirt rad。故选D。
3.F 根据空格后面一句 The dirt rad gave way t a gravel ne and then a paved ne，yet there was still neither a car nr a huse in sight.可知，这条土路被一条石子路和条铺好的路取代，然而既看不到汽车也看不到房子。由此可推断，作者是连续走了几个小时才看到这种景象。故选F。
4.E 根据空格后面一句 My heart was punding and my legs were aching.可知，“我”的心怦怦跳，双腿酸痛。由此可推断，“我”心跳加快是因为越来越害怕。故选E。
