The National Trust
The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government,it is not a rich government department.It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.
The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian,who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4,500-acre park and estate surrounding it.This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust'5 "Country House Scheme".Under this scheme,with the help of the Government and the general public,the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses.Last year,about 1.75 million people paid to visit these historic houses,usually at a very small charge.
In addition to country houses and open spaces,the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills,nature reserves,540 farms and nearly 2,500 cottages or small village houses,as well as some complete villages.In these villages no one is allowed to build,develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style.Over 4,000 acres of coastline,woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace,beauty and wildlife.
Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life.It helps to preserve all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.
选项

A:donated all his money to the Trust
B:started the"Country House Scheme"
C:saved many old country houses in Britain
D:was influential in his time
答案
D
解析
本文主要讲述了英国非盈利性组织Trust(国家托管委员会)对英国未遭破坏的乡村和历乡上著名建筑的保护,使人们能够通过参观和游览这些地方领略英国的历史和文化传统。
由文章第一段第三句和第四句话“It is a voluntary association of people...It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.”可知,Trust是英国的非盈利性组织……它是-个慈善机构,靠公众自愿支持它才得以生存。故选B。
由文章第-段第-句、第三句和最后-句话可知,Trust的主要职责是保护英国保存完好的乡村遗迹和具有历史意义的建筑。故选D。
由文章第二段Lord Lothian 去世后,把他名下的17世纪的房子、城堡、公园以及周围的庄园捐献给Trust,此事大大地吸引了公众的注意力,同时使Trust开始实行“乡村房屋计划”,可以推测出Lord Lothian 在他所生活的时代具有-定的影响力。故选D。
由文章第二段最后-句话可知选项B说法正确,由文章第三段最后-句话可知选项C说法正确,由文章最后一段第-句话可知选项D说法正确。从文章中无法推断Trust在保护16世纪的房子方面更感兴趣。故选A。
由文章最后-段中“…but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.”可知,每年涌入英国的数百万游客能领略到英国的历史和文化传统。"invade”在这里是“涌入”的意思。故选C。
