考题 The National Trust in Britain, together with similar voluntary (自愿的) organizations, plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for pubic enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.Although the Trust has received practical and moral supported by public taxes.It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and the ancient sites and historic buildings of Britain and who seek to preserve them for the permanent enjoyment of the public.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who pay a small subscription each year, and its primary duty is to protect for the nation places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest and preserve them from the dangers of modern development and extinction.The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the late Lord Lothian, who in 1935 said that, as a result of taxation and estate duties, most of these ancient and historic houses were under sentence of death.When Lord Lothian died he left his great seventeenth-century house, Blickling Hall, and all its contents to the Trust together with the 4,5000-acre park and estate surrounding it.This gift attracted wide publicity and Blicking Hall started the Trust's "Country House Scheme".Under this scheme (计划，方案), with the cooperation of the Government and thanks to the generosity of the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses, together with their often very valuable contents.Wherever possible the Trust seeks to maintain continuity and to preserve these houses as living entities (实体) rather than as dead museums.It is the view of the Trust that the families who gave them to the nation and whose ancestors created them make the best possible curators (监护人).Last year about one and three quarters of a million people paid to visit these historic houses which are open to the general public, usually at a very small charge.In addition to country houses and open spaces, the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, gardens, Roman antiquities, five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages like Chiddingstone in Kent, in the southeast of England.In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original sixteenth-century style.Over four hundred thousand acres of coastline, woodland, open downland and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development, modern buildings or disturbances of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.So it is that over the past eighty years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life, preserving all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.1、"… most of these ancient and historic houses were under sentence of death" means().A、the historic houses would die because no one was interested in them any moreB、the historic houses would crumble and decay through lack of money to keep them in good repairC、the government said that it could not spend the money to save the old historic housesD、the owners of historic houses would not keep them in good repair2、The "Country House Scheme" started().A、with the founding of the National TrustB、in order to raise money for the National TrustC、with the gift of Blickling Hall and its estateD、as a result of public interest3、The best people to look after these houses were considered to be ().A、the ancestors who created themB、the members of the National TrustC、the general publicD、the families who gave them to the nation4、Land protected by the National Trust().A、can be developed and modernizedB、includes coastline, woodland, downland and hill countryC、consists of nature reservesD、is primarily for tourists to Britain5、The word "invade" is used to emphasize().A、that the British do not like touristsB、that only a few tourists come to BritainC、the great number of tourists who come to BritainD、that Britain is attacked by hoards of tourists

考题 共用题干 第一篇Preserving Nature for FutureDemands 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 per cent of butterflies（蝴蝶）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 conferencearranged by the administrators of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council's diploma（证书）for nature reserves (自然保护区) of the highestquality ,and Dr.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 and1970s 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 touristattraction,"he went on.The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation（户外娱乐）should be replaced by full acceptanceof 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（缩小）to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass."The last sentence in the second paragraph implies thatA:people should create more natural environment areas.B:people would go on protecting national parks.C:certain areas of countryside should be preserved.D:people should defend the right to live in a peaceful environment.

考题 问答题Practice 9　　The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government, it is not a rich government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.　　The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4500 acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust’s “Country House Scheme”. Under this scheme, with the help of the Government and the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses. Last year, about 1.75 million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a very small charge.　　In addition to country houses and open spaces, the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, 540 farms and nearly 2500 cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style. Over4000 acres of coastline, woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.　　Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life. It helps to preserve all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.
