解析：新闻提到，总的来说，被调查者对他们的生活感到满意，对未来持乐观态度，这种满意度和乐观度高于10年前的民意调查，故答案为B。A“摩洛哥人民的满意度和乐观度成倍提高”中的Morocco应为Lebanon。C“许多阿拉伯国家提高了公民的收入”和D“阿拉伯地区的经济加速发展”都无法从新闻中推断出。

C. It were the warmest months ever recorded.
D. It were the wettest months ever recorded.
解析：新闻后段提到，美国天气不仅温和，而且湿度较大，导致美国西北部在去年二、三月出现纪录性降雪(record snows)，故答案为A。B说的“记录性降雨”是发生在美国南部和中西部(South and Midwest)。C和D只是利用新闻末尾中的much warmer和more moisture作干扰，都没有实质根据。

A. To join association of museums.
B. Appreciate the contributions of African Americans.
C. To choose donors.

解析：新闻中提到，Smithsonian Institution宣布要建一个“非裔美国人历史与文化国家博物馆”。(National Museum of African American History and Culture)。故答案为D“建造新博物馆”。A利用新闻中的join和 museum制造干扰，但“博物馆协会”没有在新闻中出现。新闻中提到建造博物馆之前，要先选定建筑师(architect must be chosen)、征集收藏品(collection must be assembled)和募捐建造博物馆的费用(half．．．price tag must be provided from private donors)，B、C项胡乱拼凑了这些信息点，并不是Smithsonian Institution真正要做的事。
