41、Jenkins 所说的那样，研究小组的规模确实很小，而空后则指出了当前城市面临的挑战，结合选项可知，C 项“然而，发现指出了城市公园的重要性”承接上下文。.完形填空1 B考查副词词义辨析。 句意： 奥拉提尔威隆韦恩的 DJ 名字是 AJ， 他还在学习说话。never 从不；still 仍然；therefore 因此；merely 仅仅。根据 the baby 可知他还是个婴儿，还在学习说话。故选 B。2C考查动词词义辨析。句意：但这个婴儿已经能够从笔记本电脑上选择和播放音乐，而且在南非已经很出名了。create 创造； adopt 采取； select 选择； tease 取笑。根据常识可知
