It took decades to prove that cigarette smoking causes cancer, heart disease, and early death. It took【C1】________years to establish that secondhand smoke also kills. Now scientists are worried about another cigarette-related phenomenon: thirdhand smoke. It’s real, and it’s found everywhere. Without knowing it, indoor smokers have left a toxic【C2】________that continues years after their last cigarette was extinguished.
Researchers now know that thirdhand smoke combines with some substances to create new compounds. Thirdhand smoke【C3】________and settles with dust,【C4】________down to carpeting and furniture【C5】________, and makes its way deep into the material in paneling and wall. It【C6】________in the hair, skin, clothing, and fingernails of smokers—【C7】________a mother who doesn’t smoke【C8】________her kids, smokes outside, then comes inside and holds the baby is exposing that child to thirdhand smoke. The new compounds are【C9】________to clean up, have a long life of their own, and many may cause cancer. And the contamination becomes more toxic【C10】________time.
No one knows, in this relatively new field of research, how long the compounds created by smoke and environmental pollutants last. "In homes where we know no smoker has lived for 20 years, we’ve still found【C11】________of these compounds in dust, in wallboard," says a scientist. But scientists do know that babies and children are most【C12】________to the toxic effects of thirdhand smoke. They【C13】________on rugs, fall asleep on carpets, and teethe on furniture, all of which could be【C14】________with thirdhand smoke.
Researchers aren’t just worried about the risk of cancer. Thirdhand smoke could be【C15】________other health problems. Those who move into houses or apartments【C16】________owned by smokers might be exposed as well. And thirdhand smoke is difficult to【C17】________. It’s virtually impossible to remove this stuff【C18】________you remove the flooring and wall.
Experts say much more work needs to be done on the【C19】________of the problem, the health risks, and effective ways to clean up the compounds. They advise parents not to expose their children to thirdhand smoke, not to【C20】________hotel rooms or cars used by smokers.
【C12】
选项
A、immune
B、resistant
C、ignorant
D、vulnerable
答案
D
解析
下一句提到婴儿和孩子的行为(在地毯上睡觉、咬家具等),可知他们很容易接触到有三手烟毒素的地方,因而也会容易受到毒害。D项vulnerable搭配介词to意为“易受……的伤害”,可说明幼儿最容易受到三手烟毒素的影响。A项immune和B项resistant搭配介词to分别表示“不受……感染”和“对……有抵抗力”,有悖常理,且与文章的逻辑语义相矛盾。C项ignorant“无知的”代入后指婴幼儿最不清楚三手烟毒素的影响,但文章没谈三手烟对婴幼儿健康方面的影响。
