问题     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 percent of rep-tile (爬行动物) 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 Nature Resources Division of the Council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators (管理人员) 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 the 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 stronger 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 view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation (消遣) should be replaced by fui1 acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
    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 become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land. "  [br] It is implied in the last paragraph that ______.
选项 A、industrial products are more important to life system than natural environment areas
B、it is only on islands that true nature reserves exist
C、we have forgotten what our original countryside looked like
D、industrial development should take the responsibility for the reduction of our natural environment areas
答案 D
解析 根据文章末段Dr．Baum的话可以推断，最后一段的意思是工业发展应对自然环境保护区的 减少负责任。
