问题     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 countries are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile(爬行的)species and 24 per cent 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 a tourist attraction, he went on. The shortsighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands fur out door 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."
Although it is difficult nowadays to convince the public of the importance of nature reserves, Dr. Baum felt that _______.
选项 A、people would support moves to create more environment areas
B、certain areas of countryside should be left undisturbed by man
C、existing national parks would need to be more independent to survive
D、people would carry on supporting those national parks in existence
答案B
解析 推理判断题。本题问“尽管说服公众相信自然保护区的重要性很困难，但Dr．Baum 仍然觉得”A(人们将支持创建更多环境保护区的提议)；B(农村的某些区域应该不受到人类的干扰)是经对第二段末句及文章末句(However，our natural environment areas，which are the original parts of our countryside…)归纳推理得来，故为答案；C(现存的国家公园为了生存需要更独立)；D(人们将支持那些现存的国家公园)。
