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."
In Dr. Baum’s opinion, a true nature reserve should _______.
选项 A、be far away from urban-crowdedness
B、prevent whatever tourists to visit
C、be regarded as a place where nature is protected
D、provide buildings for human activities
答案C
解析 观点态度题。本题问“Dr．Baum认为真正的自然保护区应 ______ ．” A(应远离城市拥挤)；B(能够向旅游者提供特殊的区域)；C，(应该被看作是自然受到保护的地方)，文章第三段中提到No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction(没有一个地方能够同时作真正的自然保护区和旅游景点)，故C为答案。
