B、 The Silicon Valley is also noted for its complex ecological web.
C、 The Silicon Valley takes a vain pride in its overabundant successes.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】题干问：“文章第1句暗示的是……。”根据原文第1自然段，作者对比华尔街和硅谷以此暗示“硅谷可能从(华尔街的)失败获得好处”，选项[D]表达了此意。而选项[A]“硅谷把自己的失败归咎于华尔街的成功”，[B]“硅谷因其复杂的生态系统而著名”以及[C]“硅谷盲目地骄傲于自己过分的成功”皆不是第1句暗示的中心，不符合题意。
