问题 According to the passage, a survey about butterflies is carried on by______.
  
The British summer is extremely beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?
    (1)Butterfly Conservation in the UK is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected.(2)According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining population. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are on the verge of extinction. The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their habitat is also degrading. Fortunately, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies.
    Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, "(3)Butterflies in profusion tell us that all is well with nature. When they decline it’s a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way. " The organizers hope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give an indication of the well-being of nature and the environment.

选项 A、Butterflies in profusion tell us that all is well with nature.
B、Butterfly species’ declining indicates that other wild lives will face extinction.
C、The butterflies’ situation tells us the relationship between nature and human being.
D、The butterflies survey makes public aware of the importance of butterflies.

答案C

解析 推理排除题。由句(3)可知,蝴蝶数量多说明大自然整体来说状况良好。但是蝴蝶种类的下降也警告我们其他一些野生生物将很快面临同样的问题。组织者们希望这项调查能让人们意识到蝴蝶的重要性。蝴蝶的现状也反映了大自然和环境的状况。只有C没有提及,故为答案。
