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.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage concerning the environmentalists mentioned ? （highlight）

They are organized in opposition to the generation of income produced by the sale of ecological services. They are fewer in number but better organized and better connected to the media than their opponents. They have sometimes been charged with failing to use a particular strategy in their pursuit of conservational goals. They have been in the forefront of publicizing the extent of world wide environmental degradation. They define environmental progress differently and more conservatively than do other organized groups of environmentalists.

文章大意逻辑
文章围绕生态系统功能“货币化”展开讨论。指出人们虽广泛担忧自然资源枯竭，但缺乏经济层面论据时，保护进展不佳。一些批评者指责环保主义者未处理环境退化的经济问题，认为生态保护看似无利可图。接着反驳这种错觉，以David Pearce观点说明生态系统服务未在商品市场交易所以无量化价值，需表明其有经济价值，如野生保护区吸引游客创造就业和收入，森林和湿地调节径流和净化水等。最后Gretchen Daily 认为货币化虽不受一些环保主义者欢迎，但反映经济因素在人类行为中的主导作用，且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
文章类型为观点论证型。逻辑简图： Concern about natural resource depletion without economic argument → little conservation progress Critics blame environmentalists for not addressing economic issues David Pearce: ecological services not traded, no quantifiable value, need to show economic value (e.g., wildlife preserves, forests and wetlands) Gretchen Daily: monetization reflects economic dominance in human behavior, helps environmental decision making 做题方法及问题类型
这是一道推断题，通过定位文中关于“environmentalists”的相关表述，即“Some critics blame this impasse on environmentalists, whom they believe fail to address the economic issues of environmental degradation.”以及后文对生态系统货币化等相关讨论来进行推断。 选项分析
A选项：文中未提及环保主义者组织起来反对生态服务销售产生的收入，无中生有，排除。 B选项：文章没有将环保主义者在数量、组织性及与媒体联系方面和其对手进行比较，无中生有，排除。 C选项：从“Some critics blame this impasse on environmentalists, whom they believe fail to address the economic issues of environmental degradation.”能推断出他们有时被指责在追求保护目标时未使用特定（经济方面）策略，该选项正确。 D选项：文章未表明他们在宣传全球环境退化程度方面处于前沿，无中生有，排除。 E选项：文中没有将他们与其他环保主义者团体在定义环境进展方面作对比，无中生有，排除。
