题文

阅读理解。     One thing the tour books don't tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They
ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the
environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into
urban areas around the world.
     "The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing," says Gomer Jones, president
of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New
York's Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats, shrews and flying
squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country's
largest populations of raccoons (浣熊) now lives in Washington D.C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly
seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in
the largest U.S. cities to prey on (捕食) pigeons.
     Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many
cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been
built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处)have
been created. The Greater London Council last year spent￡750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict
lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.
     For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (悬崖栖息地). By 1970 the
birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life.
That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities
afforded abundant food.
     Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they
can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San
Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only
which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.1. The first paragraph suggests that ________.A. environment is crucial for wildlife
