单选题 we can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because______.

A、 they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doing
B、 they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests
C、 time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it
D、 it is difficult for them to take effective measures

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】文章第一段最后一句指出利用各种方法使得环保无法正常进行，企业拖延或拒绝实行环保(industrial denial and long delays)，第二段第一句又指山政府只有采取税收优惠或牺牲生产：，情况才会有所改变(It seems that only when government decides it cab afford tax incentives for change)由此可知企业家足不愿意牺牲他们自己的经济利益才忽视环保的，所以[B]是正确答案。
