Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: A material which usually keeps animals and people warm is providing an oil clean-up service for the environment. Wool from sheep proved to be an effective "sponge" to soak up oil from the waters of the Persian Gulf after the Gulf War in 1991. The absorbent qualities of wool were used to good effect in wool poles which swept across the surface of the water and cleaned up the oil. Now the same absorbent qualities are being used by railways in the Netherlands. Wool mats produced by Rhanex Wools of New Zealand have been laid between the rails at eight major Dutch railway stations to soak up diesel oil dropping from locomotives. Dutch authorities were worried that diesel oil was seeping (渗入) through the ground into the water-table, which is used for farm irrigation and to supply drinking water. The mats can be regularly squeezed to extract the diesel oil from them, and then reused. Similar wool mats are being used in inner city car parking lots in Sydney, Australia, to soak up oil dropping from parked cars. One parking lot owner believed that the value of his land could be reduced by oil pollution. The environmental friendly qualities of wool are also being put to good use to protect wool itself. High value Merino sheep in Australia and Canada are wearing wool covers to protect their fleece (羊毛). 31. Which of the following is not one of wool's advantages? A) It has absorbent quality. B) It could be squeezed and reused. C) It can be used to avoid pollution. D) It could increase the price of land. 32. It can be inferred that wool first proved very useful in absorbing oil ______
