问题 The following are endangered species EXCEPT
Many kinds of animals are endangered by human beings. The United States government list of endangered species includes tigers, grizzly bears, some kinds of whales, and over three dozen species of butterflies. What has led to the scarcity of these animals, which may become extinct without vital protections?
    One important factor is that many animals have been widely hunted and killed for food or for their beautiful skills. Besides, some predators are threatened by ranchers to protect their sheep and chicken, such as eagles or wolves. Moreover, some species, like polar bears, are endangered because humans are successfully competing with them for the use of environmental space.
    With various animals being killed for food, for decoration, and for the protection of domesticated animals, or dying because of unfortunate contact with human environments, it is not surprising that some are becoming scarce, that the number of species on the endangered list is growing every year. Furthermore, it is important to understand that individual species are not the only factors involved in this dilemma. Endangerment is a broad issue, which involves the habitats and environments where species live and interact with one another. Man is discovering that his world includes the other animals in it, and one can only hope this discovery is not coming too slowly or too late.

选项 A、tigers.
B、whales.
C、polar bears.
D、some types of butterflies.

答案B

解析 细节题。短文提到美国政府列出了濒临绝种的动植物包括:老虎、灰熊、一些种类的鲸鱼和蝴蝶.下文也提到北极熊由于人类对环境空间使用的追逐而变得有灭绝的危险。粗略一看,可能以为全都是正确的,但是B项少了个限制条件一some kinds of,并不是所有的鲸鱼都濒临灭绝,所以B项为正确答案。
