27、 下面有 3篇短文后有 5 道题。请根据短文内容，为每题选 1个最佳选项。 30 Protection of Wildlife Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain some hide the fact that similar are felt ill the rest Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 1 percent of reptile species and 2
28、4 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 of a British national park.The park is one of the
29、few areas in Europe to hold the councils 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.Bu
30、t Dr.Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in a peace in their own right. No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as tourist attraction, he went on.The short view that reserves had to serve immedi
31、ate 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 ind
32、ustrial 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.“ 31 According to recent studies by the Council of Europe, we can learn that
33、_. （ A） it is only in Britain that wildlife needs more protection （ B） all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out （ C） there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere （ D） certain species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting 32 Dr.Baum,
34、a representative of the Council,visited one particular British national park because （ A） he was presenting the park with a diploma for its achievements （ B） he was concerned about how the park was being run （ C） it was the only national park of its kind in Europe （ D） it was the only park which had
35、 ever received a diploma from the Council 33 Although it is difficult nowadays to convince the public of the importance of nature reserves, Dr.Baum felt that_. （ A） people would support moves to create more environment areas （ B） people would carry on supporting those national parks in existence （ C
36、） existing national parks would need to be more independent to survive （ D） man should leave some areas of countryside undisturbed 34 In Dr.Baums opinion , a true nature reserve_. （ A） could never survive in a modern age （ B） should provide buildings for human activities （ C） should be regarded as a
37、 place where nature is protected （ D） could provide special areas for tourists to enjoy 35 Although we all depend on the resources of nature for our survival,_. （ A） industrial products are replacing all our natural resources （ B） it is only on islands that nature survives （ C） we have forgotten wha
38、t our original countryside looked like （ D） we have allowed areas of countryside to be spoilt by industrial development 35 The Family The structure of a family takes different forms around the world and even in the same society.The familys form changes as it adapts to changing social and economic in
39、fluences.Until recently, the most common form in North America was the nuclear family, consisting of a married couple with their minor children.The nuclear family is an independent unit.It must be prepared to fend for itself.Individual family members strongly depend on one another.There is little he
40、lp from outside the family in emergencies.Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so.In North America, the elderly often do not live with the family; they live in retirement communities and nursing homes. There are many parallels between the nu
41、clear family in industrial societies, such as North America,and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits,who live in harsh environments.The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility. In harsh conditions,mobility allows the family to hunt for food. For North Americans,
42、 the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility. The nuclear family was not always the North American standard.In a more agrarian time,the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family.This might have included grandparents, mother and father, brothers and sis
43、ters, uncles, aunts, and cousins.In North America today, there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households.Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced, separated, or never-married individuals as are comprised of nuclear families.The structure of the family,n
44、ot just in North America, but throughout the world, continues to change as it adapts to changing conditions. 36 Another good title for this passage would be_. （ A） What Makes a Family? （ B） The Life of the Inuits. （ C） Living With Hardship. （ D） The Failure of the Nuclear Family. 37 According to the
45、 passage, which is the definition of a nuclear family? （ A） A nuclear family is a married couple with their minor children. （ B） A nuclear family is a single father with minor children. （ C） A nuclear family concludes parents, grandparents, and children. （ D） A nuclear family concludes parents, chil
46、dren, and aunts and uncles. 38 The information in this passage would most likely be found in_textbook. （ A） an anthropology （ B） a biology （ C） a mathematics （ D） a geography 39 The information in the first paragraph is presented mainly through_. （ A） listing statistics （ B） telling a story （ C） poi
47、nting out similarities （ D） pointing out differences 40 The word “mobility“ means_. （ A） money （ B） readiness to move （ C） organization （ D） skill 40 Some Things We Know About Language Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so.But some things we do know. First, we know
48、 that all human beings have a language of some sort.There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another.Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language. Second,
49、 there is no such thing as a primitive language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive.In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the
