Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe.
Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 percent of rep-tile (爬行动物) species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.
European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum, an expert in the Environment and Nature Resources Division of the Council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators (管理人员) of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the Council’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr. Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid the public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr. Baum clearly remained a stronger supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.
No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction, he went on. The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation (消遣) should be replaced by fui1 acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
Dr. Baum went on. "We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature. However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our countryside, have become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land. "
Recent studies by the Council of Europe show that ______.
选项
A、it is only in Britain that wildlife needs more protection
B、many species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out
C、there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere
D、certain species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protection
答案
B
解析
根据题干关键词studies by the Council of Europe定位到第二段可知,在欧洲委员会的21个 成员国中,45%的爬行动物和24%的蝴蝶正面临灭绝,所以推断出在欧洲,许多野生动物都面临着灭 绝的危险,所以选B“欧洲的许多野生动物处于灭绝的危险境地”。
