问题    The pollution of the earth’ s soil and water has become an issue of great concern. Until recently, most of that concern has focused on the land【B1】______of the planet, where pollution directly affects people in their daily lives. Now, however, we have begun to realize that marine pollution is【B2】______important. According to S. A. Patin, marine pollution is the situation that occurs when people introduce into the seas substances【B3】______to life, health, resources, activities or comforts. Marine pollution is far from new.

选项

答案M

解析 根据空前的不定式符号to可知,空处应填动词原形。符合要求的选项有E、F、L、M。根据第三段第二句“Still,this pollution did not really threaten the marine environment.”和第四句“This situation changed,however,when suddenly factories began pouring…”可知,之前的污染并没有威胁海洋环境,但当工厂开始向海洋中倾倒大量材料的时候,情况发生了改变,海洋污染开始对海洋生物造成威胁。故选M。
