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 per cent of reptile(爬行的)species and 24 per cent 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 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 that 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 strong 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 shortsighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands fur out door recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future. "We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems, on which any built-up area ultimately depends, "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 shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass."
Recent studies by the Council of Europe show that _______.
选项
A、it is only in Britain that wildlife needs more protection
B、certain species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting
C、there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere
D、all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。本题问“欧洲委员会最近的研究表明了什么?”A(只有在英国,野生动物需要更多的保护)由文章首句(不仅仅在英国,在欧洲的其他地方,许多物种都面临灭绝的危险)可排除;D(欧洲的某些爬行动物和蝴蝶需要保护)与文章第二句(欧洲委员会组织的研究表明,45%的爬行动物和24%的蝴蝶正面临着灭绝的危险)相符,故为答案。C(欧洲的爬行动物和蝴蝶的种类比其他地方少)在文中没有合理的依据,故排除;D(欧洲的所有野生物种都处于灭绝的危险之中)与文章第二句矛盾。
