问题     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】______ [br] 【M1】
选项
答案 undermined—underlined
解析 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。
