问题3是一种新型题型——不定项选择题。题目的要求是，在下面的三个选项中有一个，两个或者三个都是可能是正确的，看来这种题型的评分中全部选对，部分选对(比如三个全是正确答案而只选择了一个或者两个)的评分将会不同。当然出题人也有一定的难度调整的想法，减少了选项的数量。不定项选择如果有5个或者6个选项，这样的题目从评分角度，也有不少的困难。
问题分析：
而这样的题目类型从发问的角度而言，是既可以对文章的主旨相关内容发问，又可以从文章细节的角度出发发问，而这样，这个类型的问题就必须搜索一下全篇，找到了与给出的选项叙述不同或相反的背离的就排除，一致的则成为选择的正确答案。
这里，A选项说人类对自然世界的影响是largely benign，也就是基本上都是良性的。而文章中是这样写的“But it is also true that it is better or worse”也就是影响是有好也有不好的，A不能入选；B的叙述是无法找到自在的自然，而文章里这样叙述：that is all the nature we have。可见B也不正确，因此不用再比对下去，这道题选C。当然C的叙述与文章刚好匹配。
