Warning: Holding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be hazardous to your health.
This paraphrases a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often (1)______when a new phone is purchased. Apple,(2)______, doesn’t want IPhones to come closer to you than 1. 5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer,(3)______2.5 centimeters.
If health issues(4)______ cell phone use, the implications are huge. According to a recent survey, Americans chat(5)______ cell phones 2. 26 trillion minutes annually, which(6)______$109 billion for the wireless carriers. Epide-miologists(流行病学家)pointed out that brain cancer isa(n)(7)______. Overall, there has not been a(n)(8)______in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average(9)______ an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group(10)______a drop for the older population.
"Most cancers have(11)______ causes," an expert says, (12)______she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
Besides, children are more (13)______ to radiation than adults, other scientists point out. Radiation that(14)______ only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains(15)______more absorptive fluid.
Henry Lai, a research professor at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats(16)______ radio frequency radiation had(17) ______DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends(18)______ wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text (19)______ call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen(20)______.
(19)
选项
A、as well as
B、in contrast to
C、instead of
D、rather than
答案
D
解析
连词辨析题。因为整篇文章都在讲述使用手机对于人们,尤其是青少年产生的负面影响,因此,作者对于“打电话”(call)的态度应该是否定的。选项中表示否定的表达方式只有[C]instead of 和[D]rather than。instead of的用法是instead of sth.或instead of doing sth.,因此不能用在动词call的前面,而rather than后可直接加动词原形,故[D]为正确答案。[A]as well as意为“和;除……之外”,[B]in contrast to意为“和……形成对比”,排除。
