参考答案
正确答案:B
解析:由题干indifferent to the health of the ocean定位到原文第一段第一句Forty years ago no one was concerned about the health of the ocean,in spite of the fact that many fisheries were being over-harvested,toxic wastes were being dumped in the sea,and developers were beginning to seriously disrupt coastlines.细节题。文章第一句话指出:四十年前尽管存在过度捕捞、有毒物质被排放入海、开发者逐渐破坏海岸线等问题,但是没有人关注海洋环境的健康。当时问题还不是很严重。第三句:人们不了解,也不关心。这一句中“了解”即指对于保护海洋环境问题不了解,因为人们不清楚海洋环境被破坏以后会出现什么样的后果,这与B)对应。[避错]A)“那时候海洋对任何污染都具有免疫力”,文中未提及;人们对于保护海洋环境问题不关心与有没有计算机没有关系,故C)错误;文章第一句即指出当时在保护海洋环境方面存在的问题,因此D)被否定。
