问题 The following are endangered species EXCEPT
  
Many kinds of animals are endangered by human beings. The United States government list of endangered species includes tigers, grizzly bears, some kinds of whales, and over three dozen species of butterflies. What has led to the scarcity of these animals, which may become extinct without vital protections?
    One important factor is that many animals have been widely hunted and killed for food or for their beautiful skills. Besides, some predators are threatened by ranchers to protect their sheep and chicken, such as eagles or wolves. Moreover, some species, like polar bears, are endangered because humans are successfully competing with them for the use of environmental space.
    With various animals being killed for food, for decoration, and for the protection of domesticated animals, or dying because of unfortunate contact with human environments, it is not surprising that some are becoming scarce, that the number of species on the endangered list is growing every year. Furthermore, it is important to understand that individual species are not the only factors involved in this dilemma. Endangerment is a broad issue, which involves the habitats and environments where species live and interact with one another. Man is discovering that his world includes the other animals in it, and one can only hope this discovery is not coming too slowly or too late.

选项 A、Man should not protect the chicken and sheep they raise.
B、The species mentioned has disappeared on the earth.
C、Man’s killing of wild animals can be justified.
D、Man should realize the earth is not his alone.

答案D

解析 细节推断题。短文最后写到,人类正意识到,这个世界(不仅仅只有人类居住)还包括其他的动物在内,并希望这个意识不会太慢或太迟,所以D项为正确答案。
