The Stockholm Conference undermined recognition 【M1】______ of the environment as a holistic entity, the "biosphere" to be protected in its entirety by international law and organizations. This was a novel concept for governments. 【M2】______ Some resisted the idea as unnecessary and misleading. They contended that the actual problems — say, polluted water or toxic pesticides — had to be dealt in by specialized 【M3】______ bodies and specific rule. To lump numerous disparate problems under a single head and one all-embracing legal regime, it was arguing, would only result in a new 【M4】______ bureaucracy and do nothing to solve concrete problems. 【M5】______ These concerns, it must be said, were neither trivial nor far-fetched. They did prevail,however, in the face of the 【M6】______ mounting evidence of threats to human well-being from a variety of sources. Diverse as these threats were, they could not be seen as part of a general assault on the 【M7】______ "natural order". This view was reinforced as scientists produced reports showing the interrelationship of various phenomena affecting the natural environment. Diverse groups of people worried by specific threats and damage moved toward unity on a common cause. It became 【M8】______ apparent that protection of the environment was a powerful political force within many national States. The trans-border and global threats clearly demand 【M9】______ international solutions and norms. Inevitably, the environment, seen as a whole, became a concept in international law, as in politics. "Ecological security" emerged as a major goal of international relations. Obligations and rights were proposed to serve that project. 【M10】______
【M1】此题为多项选择题。请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:undermined—underlined
形近词错误。un—derline和undermine二词虽然词形相近,但词义却差之千里,前者为“强调”而后者为“削弱”。本处错误应综合单词的意思以及全文的内容来判断。根据下文可以看出作者认为环境问题应该被作为一个整体来看;此外undermine和recognition的搭配也不合适。
