Scientists were embroiled (使卷入) last week in an international row over genetically modiScientists were embroiled (使卷入) last week in an international row over genetically modified cotton (GM cotton).A study in China suggested for the first time that the crop was permanently damaging the environment and that insects were building up resistance to it.The study, by the Nanjing institute of Environmental Science, combined the laboratory and field work from four Chinese scientific institutes. The study was done over a several - year period.GM Cotton had a gene resistance to the cotton bollworm (棉铃虫) and isolated from the bacterium (细菌) named Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), but the study found that it harms the natural parasitic (寄生的) enemies of the cotton bollworm.It also indicated that populations of pests besides the bollworm had increased in Bt cotton fields and some had replaced the bollworm as the primary pest.However, the leading GM company, the USs Monsanto, which controls more than 80 per cent of the Bt cotton grown worldwide, dismissed the research.It said that the industry has always cited GM cotton as its biggest success, because it can increase yields by up to 60 per cent and reduce the need for pesticides (杀虫剂) by 80 per cent.But, unfortunately for the industry, (80) the scientists also found that the resistance of Bt cotton to bollworm decreased significantly over time.Why scientists say no to GM cotton?ABecause the cotton was genetically modified.BBecause the cotton was found to damage the environment.CBecause the cotton harms the bollworm.DBecause Monsanto dismissed the research.正确答案：B解析：第二段中谈到，中国科学家发现Bt棉花会永久性地伤害环境，并会使昆虫累积抗性，因此在国际间就引发了一场争论。可见，只有B是正确的。4.
