Preserving Nature for Future
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 counties are members, have shown that 45 percent of reptile(爬行类的)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 natural 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. Peter 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 short-sighted(眼光短浅的)view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor 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(纯粹的)islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass. "
Why did Dr. Baum come to a British national park?
选项
A、Because he needed to present it with a council’ s diploma.
B、Because he was concerned about its management.
C、Because it was the only national park of its kind in Europe.
D、Because it was the only park which had ever received a diploma from the Council.
答案
A
解析
由文章第二段第二句话“The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’sdiploma for nature reserves of the highest quality,and Dr.Peter Baum had come to present it to thepark once again.”可知,由于英国国家公园是欧洲少数几个持有自然保护区委员会执照的公园,鲍姆博士去那的目的就是想再次把执照授予给这个公园,故选A。
