What is people's main concern about GM foods?
A. Some of them are not labeled with required information
B. They might pose hazards we don't know yet
C. They don't have the same flavour as conventional foods
D. The sowing of them will damage the environment.
题目解答
答案
B. They might pose hazards we don't know yet
解析
本题考查对转基因食品(GM foods)争议焦点的理解。关键在于识别公众对转基因食品的主要担忧。解题核心在于区分选项中普遍性和关键性的问题:
- 安全性始终是转基因食品争议的核心,尤其是潜在的未知风险。
- 其他选项(如标签、环境、风味)虽存在争议,但并非最普遍的担忧。
选项分析
A. 未标注信息
此选项涉及知情权问题,但并非公众最关注的核心。即使存在标签不规范的情况,这更多属于监管问题,而非直接威胁。
B. 潜在未知危害
安全性是转基因食品的核心争议点。公众普遍担心转基因食品可能通过基因改变对健康造成长期或不可预见的负面影响,例如过敏反应或致癌风险。这是目前科学界和舆论场讨论最多的问题。
C. 味道差异
此选项属于主观体验,虽然部分消费者可能对风味有偏好,但这并非普遍性担忧,且与转基因技术本身的争议关联较弱。
D. 环境破坏
转基因作物可能对生态产生影响(如抗虫性导致害虫抗药性),但相比人类健康风险,环境问题在公众讨论中的关注度较低。
结论:B选项直接对应公众对转基因食品的核心担忧,即潜在的未知健康风险。
