Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.
The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos’ natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’ s "Last Great Places".
Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the Conservancy’s Bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.
Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land c. an be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.
Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents.
"The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.
For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other "Last Great Places", please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at www.tuc.org.
We learn from the passage that______.
选项
A、the population in the Pocono area is growing
B、wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidly
C、the security of the Pocono residents is being threatened
D、farmlands in the Pocono area are shrinking fast
答案
A
解析
本题可以用排除法来解答。B项认为Pocono地区的野生动物正在迅速灭绝,原文在第一段提到了野生动物,但并没有提到动物灭绝。C项说当地居民的安全受到威胁,原文没有提到这方面的内容。D项具有迷惑性,原文中相当一部分篇幅描述了大自然保护协会如何参与保住了农田,但这并不能说明当地的农田在迅速减少。因此D项不准确。原文在第二段第一句提到Pocono地区不仅适合做黑熊的栖息地,而且因其秀丽的自然风光也吸引了越来越多的人来到这里。因此,正确答案是A项。
