问题     Australia has very strict laws relating to the importation and possession of certain goods. Food, plant material and animal products from overseas, including many common souvenirs, could introduce some of the world’s most serious pests and diseases into Australia. Failing to declare quarantine items (需要检疫的物品) on arrival could destroy our agriculture, tourism industries and special environment.

    Every piece of luggage will be screened or x-rayed on arrival in Australia. So you must declare for inspection of all food, plant material and animal products to check that they are free of pests and diseases.
    You must tick YES on the Informing Passenger Card (IPC) to declare if you are carrying any food, plant material or animal products. In signing the IPC, passengers who are making a legal declaration and failing to answer all questions truthfully can have serious consequences.
    If you fail to declare or dispose of (处理) any quarantine items, or make a false declaration:
    you will get caught;
    you could be fined over A $ 200 on-the-spot; or you could be prosecuted and fined more than A $ 60,000 and risk up to 10 years imprisonment;
    If you are not sure about the items you are carrying, ask a quarantine officer who will determine whether they are allowed into Australia.
For what purpose is the passage written?

选项 A、To inform the passengers of the law on the exportation of goods.
B、To warn the passengers not to take unsafe goods.
C、To tell the passengers to Australia to have their quarantine items declared.
D、To urge the passengers to protect the agriculture, tourism and environment.

答案C

解析 主旨题。本文介绍了澳大利亚为了保护当地生存环境而采取的措施:所有的食品、动植物产品都要申报,以防止病虫害的入侵,以及如果隐瞒不申报将会产生的后果。只有C项提到了去往澳大利亚的游客,与文意相符,因此C项最为合适。
