请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over．

　　A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year's tsunami(海啸), sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday．

　　The cutter's guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side．In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow．

　　The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel．Officials, however, didn't know exactly how much fuel was aboard．

　　“It's less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said．

　　The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment．

　　Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of　refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan．

　　As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters．

　　Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship．A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it．

　　Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size．

　　State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected．

(1)

Which of the following is NOT the reason for sinking the Japanese ship?
[　　]

　　In addition to the need for food, man also has need of some kind of protection from heat and cold and from wind and rain． The first homes of man were very simple． The size and kind of buildings which he built were limited by his technical knowledge and also by the kind of building materials which were available (可得到的) to him． Climate also had an important influence． In some places, man's home would be nothing more than a cave in the side of a hill, with a fire at the entrance to give light and warmth and to keep dangerous wild animals away． In warmer areas primitive man (原始人) could use branches to make a framework (框架) which he then covered with leaves．

　　The community’s way of life was another important influence on the kinds of houses which were built． For example, a hunting society had to move frequently from one place to another to find its food． Therefore, the houses of the people of a hunting society were made so that they could be moved easily． An agricultural society would probably stay in one place for a long time． The homes of these people could be more permanent．

　　When settlements grew larger and civilization (文明) became more complex (复杂的), other differences developed in buildings． The most important men in the village, or the men with more property probably had larger and better homes． There were also buildings constructed for special purposes: some kind of large building for public meetings;shops and offices for commercial (商业的) activities;schools, churches, hospitals, theaters, jails or prisons, and many other specialized structures．

　　The technical knowledge and skill of the twentieth century makes it possible for man to build structures which would have been impossible a hundred years ago． Construction is now an important industry． As the population of the world grows, more and more buildings of many different kinds will be needed． In planning the construction of these buildings, architects (建筑师) will be using knowledge gained through centuries of experience． At the same time they will be utilizing new materials and developing new methods and techniques in order to meet the needs of still larger and more complex societies．

1．The first homes of man were very simple

A．because he did not have fire．

B．because he did not know how to build very well

C．because he had no furniture．

D．because he had no building materials at all．

2．When people of a hunting society built houses

A．they built permanent homes．

B． they always built houses in trees if possible．

C． they built houses that could be moved easily．

D．they made use of caves in hills．

3．Men began to construct buildings for special purposes

A．when civilization became more complex．

B．when caves were no longer available．

C．when men with property wanted larger homes．

D．when important men wanted better homes．

4．Man could not build very tall buildings a hundred years ago

A．because he had no need for them．

B． because there wereno architects a hundred years ago ．

C． because he did not yet have the technical knowledge ．

　　Britain’s seed bank the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet’s wild plant species, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010．

　　The Millennium Seed Bank Project．run by Kew Gardens－one of the oldest botanical gardens－will officially deposit the 24,200^th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China．

　　More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew’s giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, direcfor Paul Smith said．

　　The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1.5 billion seeds．Its goal is to help protect the planet’s bio-diversity during a time of climate change．

　　The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction(灭绝)in southwest China from agricultural development．It is a vital food source for Asia．elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption．

　　Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade．So they can last for thousands of years, the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes－when the species no longer exist in the wild．

　　It is a race against time, Smith said, because in the last decace alone, 20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild．He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century．

　　“It is urgent and it is happening now．An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegetation(植被)every year．”Smith said．

　　Because most of the world’s food and medicines come from nature,protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists say．There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plany diversity．

　　For Kew’s next goal－to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020－the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted．
