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 4500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust’s "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 one hundred and fifty of these old houses. Last year about one and three quarters of a 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, five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred 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 sixteenth-century style. Over four hundred thousand 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.
So it is that over the past eighty years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life, preserving 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.
We can infer from paragraph 2 that Lord Lothion______.
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
C
解析
在第二段中用Lothion,该段中“the Trust has been able to save and make accessibleto the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses”与C选项形成对应,这句话的大意是“信托拯救了大约150个老房子,同时让公众有可能参观它们”。Lothion捐献的是自己的房产,并非所有的钱;国家之屋的计划也不是他开启的,而是受到了Lothion的帮助:公众的注意力被Lothion吸引是因为他去世时捐献了如此多的财产,因此在他有生之年未必就很有影响力。故本题答案为C。
