问题     Many small cultural groups live in places far away from modern cities. Some of these tribes have never had any communication outside of their small areas. When they do contact the outside world, their lives usually change. Learning how to change without losing the best of their own cultures is a problem for them.
    One native tribe in New Guinea has a difficult situation. The people of the tribe are being pulled in two ways. Copper has been discovered under the land where they have lived for centuries. Developers want to take the copper out of the ground, to mine it. The tribe needs the money that a copper mine would bring. The problem is that the copper is directly under the most important buildings of their society. These buildings are a necessary part of their religion. How can the copper be mined without changing their religion? A group of people are trying to help the tribe to learn to communicate with the rest of the world. Cultural Survival, Inc. is the name of the group. The people are anthropologists (人类学家)，scientists who study cultures. The organization wants to teach them how to live in the modern world.
    There is another organization like this in London. It is called Survival International. One in Copenhagen is called the International Workshop for Local Affairs. These two groups have joined with Cultural Survival, Inc. to help people become used to modern culture.
    These organizations work with another kind of problem, too. Sometimes a central government does not consider the needs of local people in developing new projects. Often they suffer a great loss and Cultural Survival, Inc. helps them. Cultural Survival, Inc. and its sister organizations also give advice about tourism. The tourist business can cause problems. Many small societies need to earn money, but a large group of visitors can hurt their culture. Also the local people could use the help of Cultural Survival, Incorporated.
The number of the tasks of Cultural Survival, Inc. mentioned in the passage is______.
选项 A、1
B、2
C、3
D、4
答案C
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问本文提到的文化遗产拯救协会的任务有几项。文章第二段最后一句话、第三段最后一句话和第四段指出，文化遗产拯救协会试图教这一部落的人们怎样在现代化社会中生活；这两个组织与文化遗产拯救协会合作，一同帮助人们适应现代文化；上述组织也处理另一类问题。有时，中央政府在开发新项目的同时，不考虑当地人们的需要，以致使他们受到重大损失。于是，文化遗产拯救协会便出面静忙。文化遗产拯救协会及其姐妹组织也提供旅游业的咨询，旅游业也会引起同样的问题，许多小社区需要挣钱，但是，大量的游人到来会损害他们的文化，此时，当地人也求助于文化遗产拯救协会。由此，我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是C“三项”。
