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 per cent of reptile (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 m 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 were on. The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human de mands for outdoor recreation (消遣) should be replaced by full 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“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.”(没有大多数工业产品人类也能生存，但没有自然环境人类却无法生存；然而我们那作为乡村原始部分的自然环境地区，已经缩小成为大片的被破坏、污染严重的土地中的一个小岛。)可以推断答案为工业发展应对自然环境保护区的减少负责任。
