问题     Consumer products such as shampoos and sunscreens, even ones boosted as safer, may contain potentially harmful chemicals not listed on their labels, according to a study out today that tested dozens of them. Chemicals that【C1】________hormones or affect health were found in all 42 of conventional products sampled, as well as in most—32 of 43—of the alternative products【C2】________as safer, including some by Seventh Generation, the study says. The scientific group studies the【C3】________between the environment and women’s health.
    "It was【C4】________," says Julia Brody, co-author of the findings. She says consumers using a typical array of products are【C5】________many harmful chemicals.
    Seventh Generation, which makes six of the alternative products tested, welcomed the study’s goal of educating consumers【C6】________questioned its method. Martin Wolf, its director of product sustainability, says the company【C7】________none of the chemicals the study found in three of its products. "The fact that trace amounts were found raises questions" about possible cross-contamination in either【C8】________or testing, he says. "There are so many【C9】________chemicals in this world that they’re finding their way【C10】________everything."
    John Spengler, a professor of environmental health at Harvard School of Public Health, who was not【C11】________the study, says the work is "very important" for improving health concerns and【C12】________companies to possible cross-contamination in products, whether from the supply【C13】________or the packaging. "You don’t want to worry people【C14】________a reasonable extent," he says, adding that trace amounts of some chemicals may not pose a problem.【C15】________. he says, there’s an "interactive" accumulating effect from broad use of chemicals,【C16】________it’s important to look at them as a group.
    The study, which tested for 66 chemicals and found 55 of them in the products, says sunscreens and fragrant products had the most【C17】________chemicals and some of the highest concentrations. Brody, who says there needs to be a more【C18】________listing and testing of a product’s ingredients,【C19】________consumers to use fewer products, seek plant based ingredients and rely on【C20】________water, baking soda and vinegar for cleaning.
【C3】

选项 A、differences
B、bond
C、subject
D、links

答案D

解析 上句提到在抽样的产品中发现影响健康的化学物质,说明该研究主要关注消费者日常环境中所接触的化学物质与健康之间的关系。选D项links“关系,联系”。无线索表明该研究的焦点是环境与健康之间的差异,排除A项differences。B项bond有“联系,关联”之意,但主要是指亲属、婚姻及共同利益者之间的关系。C项subject“实验对象,课题”,如果是研究有关……的课题,其后的介词应是on,而不是between。
