参考答案:B
参考解析:
是非题。文章第二段介绍的是NGO的立场。作者引用NGO负责人Jean-Marc Vonder Weid 的话说,"We are not saying that genetic engineering is, in principle, something bad; we say that we need more science to be sure that it will work in an appropriate way with no harm in the future," said campaign coordinator Jean-Marc Vonder Weid. "This is both for health and environmental reasons."可知并不是说转基因工程不好;我们的立场是,需要用科学方法来确保它不会在将来对环境造成危害。这主要是出于对环境和健康的考虑。四个选项中只有B项不符合它的立场。选项A:他们相信转基因作物会损害农民的健康;选项B:他们认为基因工程是一种糟糕的做法;选项C:他们认为应该引入科学的方法来确保转基因不会带来危害;选项D:他们认为转基因生物将在经济上损害巴西。故本题正确答案选B。
