【解析】1. 词义猜测题：根据第二段“Lions run very fast. They can run at a speed of 80 km per hour”，80公里每小时是速度单位，故“speed”意为“速度”，选A。2. 细节理解题：文章提及雄狮的鬣毛（A）、奔跑速度（B）、野外寿命（C），未提到狮子的颜色，排除A、B、C，选D。3. 细节判断题：A项原文为“Only male lions have large manes around their necks”，并非腿部，错误；B项原文为“jump up to 12 metres high”，并非21米，错误；C项原文为“They can live in the wild for up to 16 years”，正确；D项原文为“Lions don't live alone. Lions live together”，错误，选C。4. 推理判断题：文章介绍狮子的外形、速度、寿命等动物相关知识，应出自《Animal World》，A为笑话类、C为新闻类、D为旅行建议类，均不符合，选B。
