参考答案：BADGE本文是说明文。文章讲的是非洲的一些部落，他们喜欢在身上和脸上涂一些颜色，不同的颜色代表着不同的含义。【16题详解】与上文的顺承，Somemarksareusedtoidentifypeopleaspartofagroup，句意为：一些标记被用来鉴别作为族人的一部分身份，故下文应是另一部分标记是用在某些仪式上，比如说婚礼和战争的时候。与some相对应的others故选B。【17题详解】与下文的衔接。theyparticipateinaspecialceremonyinwhichtheypainttheirheadsandfacesred.他们参加一些特殊的仪式，在这种仪式上他们头和脸涂上了红色。本自然段讲述了红色的意义，故答案应为A。【18题详解】对下文的理解。Toshowthathehaskilledalion,amanwillpainthisbodywithanaturalwhitematerial,makingspecialmarkstorepresentthisaccomplishment.为了显示，他已经杀死了一头狮子，一个男士将把他涂成白色，使得这种特殊的标记来显示他们的成就。所以答案应为D，意为，是用独特的方式来显示他的勇敢。【19题详解】上下文的衔接。Themenpainttheirfacesyellowandred.把他们的脸涂上黄色和红色，与下文接着再加上黑白相间的圆，在眼的附近和嘴唇上涂上黑色相照应，故选G。【20题详解】在眼的附近和嘴唇上涂上黑色与他们的眼睛和牙齿的白色形成对比，显示他们更加帅气，目的是吸引自己的另一半，也就是说，这个时候女士才能决定她们最喜欢哪一个。故选E。
