The National Trust
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 4,500-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 one hundred and fifty of these old houses. Last year about one and three quarters, of a 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, five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred 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 sixteenth-century style. Over four hundred thousand 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.
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.

答案與解析
31.B。細節題。題幹：國家信託是一個__________。本題答案在第一段中的“It is a voluntary association…It is a charity…”，可知該機構是做慈善的，與non-profitable對應，同時是志願的.(voluntary)，很明顯答案為B。
32.D。細節題。題幹：國家信託致力於__________。答案仍在“It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings ofBritain”中，大意是“這是一個志願性質的協會，保護那些未被破壞的鄉村和歷史性的建築”，care for與題幹中的dedicate to對應，因此本題答案為D。
33.C。細節題。題幹：從第二段中可以推理得知Lothion爵士__________。第二段中的“theTrust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about one hundred and fifty ofthese old houses”與C選項形成對應，這句話的大意是“信託拯救了大約150個老房子，同時讓公眾有可能參觀它們”。Lothion捐獻的是自己的房產，並非所有的錢;國家之屋的計劃也不是他開啟的，而是受到了Lothion的幫助;公眾的注意力被Lothion吸引是因為他去世時捐獻了很多的財產，因此在他有生之年未必就很有影響力。故本題答案為C。
34.A。細節題。題幹：下列哪一個不能從原文中推理得知?用“16世紀”回到原文定位到倒數第二段“…all the houses are maintained in their original sixteenth-century style”可知，這裡的16世紀對應的資訊是“……所有的房子都保留原始的16世紀的風格”，可知A與原文不一致。因此正確答案為A。
35.C。詞彙題。題幹：第四段中的“invade”與__________意思最為相近?該詞本意是“入侵”，但由該詞定位到末段的最後一句“…but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search ofa great historic and cultural heritage”，由語義走向可知invade與 millions oftourists相關，因此C選項最合適。
