The argument for "monetizing"—or putting a monetary value on—ecosystem functions may be stated thus: Concern about the depletion of natural resources is widespread, but this concern, in the absence of an economic argument for conservation, has not translated into significant conservational progress. Some critics blame this impasse on environmentalists, whom they believe fail to address the economic issues of environmental degradation. Conservation can appear unprofitable when compared with the economic returns derived from converting natural assets (pristine coastlines, for example) into explicitly commercial ones (such as resort hotels). But according to David Pearce, that illusion stems from the fact that "services" provided by ecological systems are not traded on the commodities market, and thus have no readily quantifiable value. To remedy this, says Pearce, one has to show that all ecosystems have economic value-indeed, that all ecological services are economic services.Tourists visiting wildlife preserves, for example, create jobs and generate income for national economies undisturbed forests and wetlands regulate water runoff and act as water—purifying systems, saving millions of dollars worth of damage to property and to marine ecosystems. In Gretchen Daily’s view,monetization, while unpopular with many environmentalists, reflects the dominant role that economic considerations play in human behavior, and the expression of economic value in a common currency helps inform environmental decision-making processes.

According to the passage, Daily sees monetization as an indication of which of the following?

the centrality of economic interests to people's actions The reluctance of the critics of environmentalism to acknowledge the importance of conservation The inability of financial interests and ecological interests to reach a common ideological ground The inevitability of environmental degradation The inevitability of the growth of ecological services in the future

正确答案： A

文章大意逻辑
文章讨论了生态系统功能“货币化”的观点。人们广泛担忧自然资源枯竭，但缺乏经济层面论据使得保护进展甚微。一些批评者指责环保主义者没处理好经济问题，导致保护看起来无利可图。但David Pearce认为是因为生态系统提供的服务未在商品市场交易所以无量化价值。为解决这一问题，要表明生态系统有经济价值。Gretchen Daily认为，货币化虽不受许多环保主义者欢迎，但反映了经济因素在人类行为中的主导作用，用通用货币表达经济价值有助于环境决策。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型为观点阐述型。逻辑简图： Concern about natural resource depletion but little conservation progress without economic argument Critics blame environmentalists for not addressing economic issues David Pearce: ecological services not traded, no quantifiable value Solution: show ecosystems have economic value Gretchen Daily: monetization reflects economic dominance in human behavior and helps environmental decision making 做题方法及问题类型
这是一道细节题，做题方法是通过题干中“Daily sees monetization as”定位到文章中关于Gretchen Daily观点的部分。 选项分析
A选项：“the centrality of economic interests to people's actions”（经济利益在人们行为中的核心地位）。原文提到“monetization, while unpopular with many environmentalists, reflects the dominant role that economic considerations play in human behavior”，说明货币化反映了经济因素在人类行为中的主导作用，也就是经济利益在人们行为中的核心地位，该项正确。 B选项：文中未提及批评者不愿意承认保护的重要性，无中生有，排除。 C选项：文中没有说金融利益和生态利益无法达成共同意识形态基础，属于无中生有，排除。 D选项：文章没有表明环境退化是不可避免的，排除。 E选项：文中未提及未来生态服务增长的必然性，排除。
