问题     In 1959 Jacoues Cousteau sounded the alarm: the Mediterranean was dying. Diving off France’s southern coast, Cousteau found a marine desert that a few years earlier had teemed with fish and plants. He blamed poisons from the large urban and industrial complexes built near the sea. Cousteau crystallized growing public concern over pollution of the world’s seas and oceans. By the 1960s, oil spills, chemicals and sewage were turning areas of the Baltic into toxic cesspools, heavy meials and DDT had accumulated in fish and shellfish from the Atlantic to the China Sea, causing carnage among birds that ate them and poisoning people.

选项

答案 1959年,雅克库斯都敲响了警钟,地中海正在死亡。库斯都从法国南部海岸潜入海中,发现几年前曾有很多鱼类和海洋植物的地方,现在已经变成了海中荒漠。他将此归咎于在海边建立的大型城市和大工业中心所排放出的有毒物质。库斯都昭示了公众对世界海洋污染问题越来越关注。到20世纪60年代,原油泄漏、化学品和污水将波罗的海地区变成了有毒的污水池。从大西洋到中国海域,重金属和杀虫剂在鱼类和贝类体内沉积,造成以这些鱼类和贝类为食的鸟类的大规模死亡,并引发人类中毒。
