问题     U. S jeans maker Levi Strauss & Co. denied it was playing on consumer fears by launching a line of trousers fitted with "anti - radiation (防辐射) " pockets for mobile phones. The trousers, with a lining which the makers say shield (防护物) against radiation, are designed by Dockers, a brand name of Levi Strauss. " We are not implying in any way that mobile phones are dangerous. Our intention is not to cash in on consumer fears but provide the consumers with what they want they want," Levi’s European communications manager Cedric Jung-peter said. The design was the fruit of extensive market research showing that the fashion conscious was also health conscious, Jungpeter said. "The debate is open. Although no study has proved mobile phones are harmful, no study has proved the contrary either," he added. Worldwide studies into the possible dangers of mobile phones produce often conflicting conclusions. A recent one carried out by Australian researchers over a three - year period showed that radio e-missions from mobile phone did not trigger the growth of tumors in mice, and therefore probably did not do so in humans either. And another Australian study concluded cellular phones could foster tumor growth. Swedish research published recently concluded that long - term users of first generation mobile phones faced an up to 80 percent greater risk of developing brain tumors than non - users. But a Danish study last year of 400, 00 mobile phone users showed no increased cancer risk.
The author implies that________by declaring " The debate is open.

选项 A、everyone may be involved in the mobile phone debate
B、all studies into the possible dangers of mobile phones have not yet reached valuable conclusions
C、it’s still a controversy whether the mobile phones have not yet reached valuable conclusions
D、consumption of mobile phones will be affected by the endless debate

答案C

解析 这是一道考察推理的题型。题干要求找出作者提到“The debate is open”的目的。这句话在文中原句是“‘The debate is open,Ahhough no study has proved mobile phones are harmful,no study has proved the contrary either,’he added.”通读全文可知,Jungpeter说这句话是为了强调“人们对手机辐射是否危害健康进行了公开的讨论,始终未成定论”,以此表明利惠公司并非乘机盈利的目的。所以选项C符合题意。
