With the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF), China is making a concerted and dedicated effort to save the endangered pandas. The results, officials here in Chengdu indicate, are mixed but encouraging.
A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity, necessary if their decreasing numbers are to be replaced. Another failure has been the incapability of finding a natural, readily available food to replace the arrow bamboo.
Despite these failures, success has come on two fronts. One achievement has been the physical rescue effort. Some pandas have been kept alive by salting(空投)the mountains with tons of cooked meat, which pandas will eat as a substitute for bamboo, and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas. Animals in some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors.
A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort. Publicity about the pandas’ plight has resulted in a new $ 100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund drives both in China and abroad.
In spite of this support, there have been conflicts in the panda relief program. One important problem is the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists with China’s ambitious goal of agricultural and industrial modernization.
Wolong is but one example of this difficulty. This 494,000-acre preserve was declared a protected area in 1975. Yet 1,800 people, mostly Tibetans, still live in the preserve, logging trucks still roll down the narrow mountain roads, and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just six miles away.
This all means that the pandas’ fight for survival will not be an easy one, even with the concerted effort of man. For in the end, even if they can survive the dangers of the wild, they must still contend with man himself.
All of the following help prevent the decline of the panda population EXCEPT______.
选项
A、the large-scale fund-raising drives
B、the reproduction of panda offspring during captivity
C、the rescue of the injured and the sick
D、the cultivation of new bamboo forests
答案
B
解析
作者在第一段中提到为了拯救大熊猫做出了努力,但是结果却是喜忧参半,引出了第二、三、四段。第二段讲的是因为人工繁殖圈养大熊猫的失败,本来能够弥补一下大熊猫数量的不断减少,但是因为没有成功,所以不能起到应有的作用。B项不正确。第三段讲到的是物质救援的成功,包括种植新的竹林等,使大熊猫生存了下来,并且得到当地农民和兽医的救助。所以C、D项正确。第四段讲到是大规模集资活动的成功,通过各方面的集资活动筹集到了10万美元的应急款项,可见它也能防止大熊猫数量的减少。A项正确。所以本题的正确答案为B。
