Protection of Wildlife

Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe,of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 1 percent of reptile species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.
European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum,an expert in the environment and nature resources division of the Council,when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the Council's diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality,and Dr. Baum had come to present it to the park once again.He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks,and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr. Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.
No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as tourist attraction,he
went on.The short view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
"We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems,on which any built-up area ultimately depends,"Dr. Baum went on,"We could manage without most industrial products,but we could not manage without nature.However,our natural environment areas,which are the original parts of our countryside,have shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass."
选项 Although we all depend on the resources of nature for our survival,________.
A:industrial products are replacing all our natural resources
B:it is only on islands that nature survives
C:we have forgotten what our original countryside looked like
D:we have allowed areas of countryside to be spoilt by industrial development
答案D
解析第一段的第二句提到，拥有21个成员国的欧洲委员会所作的研究显示， 1％的爬行动物和24％的蝴蝶类正濒临灭绝，由此可见答案为D。
第二段中提到鲍姆博士来此地是再次为该公园颁发证书的。由此可见答案为选项A。
第二段最后一句说，鲍姆博士立场鲜明地坚持应当让自然环境不受干扰地生存，理应如此。最后一段说，曾是郊野最初的组成部分的自然环境保护区已经退减成为被破坏污染了的一片地区中的小岛。综合两句意思，可推断出答案应为选项D。
第三段中，鲍姆认为，没有一个地区能有望既是真正的自然保护区又是旅游区。故答案为C。
见最后一段。
