C
When the explorers first t foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of the precious natural resources wily. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the ttlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of the resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and hou the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙) waterfowl and t
he wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purcha and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roovelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conrvation Fund to purcha wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to e. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purcha more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conrvation programs ever initiated.

二、译文
当探险家们第一次踏上北美洲大陆时，天空和大地上充满了各种各样的野生动物。美洲土著人明智地保护了这些宝贵的自然资源。不幸的是，仅仅几十年，探险家和随后而来的定居者们就破坏了这些资源的大部分。许多以狩猎为生的人（market hunters），还有一小部分过于野心勃勃的体育运动爱好者，杀死了数百万只水禽。为了解决不断增长的人口的吃住问题，数百万英亩的湿地被抽干，用作农地或修建住房，极大地减少了水禽的栖息地。

1934年，美国越来越意识到问题的严重性，随着《候鸟狩猎鸭票法案》的通过，采取了坚决的行动来制止对迁徙的水禽的伤害，同时制止对湿地的破坏，因为湿地对于水禽的生存至关重要。根据该法案，所有年满16岁的水禽狩猎者每年都必须购买并携带美国鸭票。第一张美国鸭票是由J.N.丁达林设计的，他是一位来自于艾奥瓦州首府得梅因的政治漫画家，
当时被富兰克林·罗斯福总统任命为生物调查局局长。为了保护自然资源，狩猎者都愿意掏钱购买鸭票。
每枚鸭票中约98美分直接进入候鸟保护基金会，用于购买湿地和野生动物栖息地，纳入国家野生动物庇护系统——这样确保了这片土地得到保护，并为所有的子孙后代共同享有。自1934年以来，已有超过5亿美元的资金投入该基金会，用于购买超过500万英亩的栖息地。难怪（little wonder）联邦鸭票计划被称为有史以来最成功的保护计划之一。
三、解析
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国鸭票，阐述了它的诞生背景、具体内容和影响。occupations
28题详解：A
(1)详细理解问题(北美水禽数量下降的原因是什么？)
（2）定位要精准：
1）本文只有三段，对应四道题。
这种情况下，就看最后一道题是不是对全文的考查了。如果是这样，正文三段往往是一一对应的，标题也是一个顺序。
如果不是，需要再看一遍第一题，看是否是对全文的考查。应用原理同上。
本文最后一题考查题目，属于主旨，是对全文的考查。所以基本确定了前三个问题对应的是文中的三段，所以28个问题定位在第一段。
签字英语2）研读第一段：
本段有5句话，除第三句有Unfortunately（“很不幸的是”，它也是表转折关系的标志词），别处无任何连词，这说明前两句可跳过不读，重点是后三句。

3）根据题干中的“decline”与本段最后一句中的“reducing”是同义词，可以确定最后一句就是答案所在处。
（3）最后一句的意思是“为了解决不断增长的人口的吃住问题，数百万英亩的湿地被抽干，用作农地或修建住房，极大地减少了水禽的栖息地。”

（4）看选项：A.湿地丧失。 B.水上运动的普及。 C.河流污染。 D. 其他野生动物的到来。

29题详解：C
(1)词义猜谜题(一段话两个问题，这种情况很少见。)
（2）根据该句句首的Unfortunately，可以断定本句表达的内容是负面信息，是指不好的事情。
（3）Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the ttlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of the resources.
