    (3) [Romania’s wetlands are coming back to life] thanks to help from local communities, the World Wildlife Fund, and funding from the European Union. Roughly 2,224 acres of the picturesque Danube Delta—home to 300 species of birds—have filled with wildlife. The land has been connected to the network of lakes and streams in the area.

    “A lot of birds have migrated to the area, and one doesn’t need to travel long hours anymore or go to other lakes to watch the birds,” says Ion Meuta, Deputy Mayor of Mahmudia.

    The area around Mahmudia, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the third most bio-diverse in the world, after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the Galapagos Islands. Groups used earth-moving equipment to restore the waterways. (4) [Government officials proposed to protect the area’s endangered wild fish by issuing a fishing ban over the next decade.] 

4. What did government officials propose to do to protect the endangered fish?

解析：D。录音最后说到，政府官员提议（Government officials proposed to）在未来10年颁布禁渔令，以保护该地区濒危的野生鱼类（protect the area’s endangered wild fish）。D项“在未来10年禁止捕鱼”是对录音中issuing a fishing ban over the next decade的同义替换，故正确答案为D。

错项排除：A项利用录音末尾出现的waterways作干扰，但录音说的是有一些组织使用运土设备来修复这里的水道，并没有说到阻塞水道，Block一词在录音中没有提及，故A项错误。B项利用Restore和fishing ban作干扰，但录音说的是修复（restore）水道，并非恢复捕鱼禁令，而且录音中也没有提到之前是否有颁布过禁渔令，故B项错误。录音末尾只提到了earth-moving equipment（运土设备），并没有提及C项中的monitoring equipment（监控设备），故排除。
