Preserving Nature for Future

Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt
in the rest of Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe,of which 21 counties are members,have shown that
45 percent of reptile（爬行类的）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 natural
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. Peter 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 nd 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 a tourist attraction,"he went
on. The short-sighted（眼光短浅的）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 fu-
ture.
"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（纯粹的）islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass."
选项 Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A:We have developed industry at the expense of countryside.
B:We have forgotten what our original countryside looked like.
C:People living on islands should protect natural resources for their survival.
D:We should destroy all the built-up areas,
答案A
解析本题为推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句“Studies by the Council of Europe,...,have shown that 45 percent of reptile species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.”可知，爬行动物和蝴蝶濒临灭绝，由此推断出它们需要受到保护。故选D。
由文章第二段第二句话“The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council' s diploma for nature reserves of th县 highest quality,and Dr.Peter Baum had come to present it to thepark once again.”可知，由于英国国家公园是欧洲少数几个持有自然保护区委员会执照的公 园，鲍姆博士去那的目的就是想再次把执照授予给这个公园，故选A。
由文章第二段最后一句话“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.”可知，鲍姆博士始终支持这样一种观点，那就是自然环境需要在它们自己的权利下和平的生存下去。也就是暗示乡村的一些地区应该被完好无损地保护起来，故选C。
由文章第三段中“'No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a touristS attraction,'he went on.The short一sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate hu-man demands...”可知，鲍姆博士认为，用自然保护区来满足人类当前的娱乐是目光短浅的，故 选C。
由文章最后一段中“our natural environment areas , which are the original parts of our coun- tryside , have shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass.”可知，我 们的自然环境是乡村的原始部分，在被破坏、被严重污染的陆上已经缩小成孤岛了。现在已经 开始成为变质的、被污染的土地了。所以可以推断出工业的发展是建立在毁坏乡村的基础之 上的，故选A。第三篇 本篇文章主要讲述国内外各方面为拯救大熊猫所做的努力，以及大熊猫生存所面临的挑战。
