问题     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.
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项 A、Switzerland is the only country that contributes in the panda relief program
B、it is too late to rescue the endangered pandas
C、the survival of pandas is an international concern
D、the lovely pandas will soon die out
答案C
解析 文章第一段中讲到，中国同总部设在瑞士的“世界野生动物基金会”一起，正在为拯救濒临灭绝的大熊猫付出极大的努力。这句话并不能推断出A项，所以A项不对。紧接着讲到，努力的结果喜忧参半，但却令人鼓舞，第三、四段的两个成功例子证明：拯救濒临危险的大熊猫并不太晚，还有希望，所以B项不对。在第三段讲到的物质救助中，一些大熊猫存活下来了，可见大熊猫不久就会灭绝的推断不能成立，所以D项不对。由第一段中提到的中国与世界野生动物基金会为拯救濒临灭绝的大熊猫共同努力以及第四段世界野生动物基金会和国内外的独立集资组织筹集10万美元的应急款项可以看出，大熊猫的生存问题得到了全世界的关注。C项符合文章的意思。所以本题的正确答案为C。
