British cancer researchers have found that childhood leukaemia is caused by an infection, and clusters of cases around industrial sites are the result of population mixing that increases exposure. The research published in the British Journal of Cancer backs up a 1988 theory that some as-yet unidentified infection caused leukaemia—not the environmental factors widely blamed for the disease.
"Childhood leukaemia appears to be an unusual result of a common infection," said Sir Richard Doll, an internationally-known cancer expert who first linked tobacco with lung cancer in 1950. "A, virus is the most likely explanation. You would get an increased risk of it if you suddenly put a lot of people from large towns in a rural area, where you might have people who had not been exposed to the infection. "Doll was commenting on the new findings by researchers at Newcastle University, which focused on a cluster of leukaemia cases around the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in Cumbria in northern England. Scientists have been trying to establish why there was more leukaemia in children around the Sellafield area, but have failed to establish a link with radiation or pollution. The Newcastle University research by Heather Dickinson and Louise Parker showed the cluster of cases could have been predicted because of the mount of population mixing going on in the area, as large numbers of construction workers and nuclear staff moved into a rural setting. "Our study shows that population mixing can account for the (Sellafield) leukaemia cluster and that all children, whether their parents are newcomers or locals, are at a higher risk if they are born in an area of high population mixing, "Dickinson said in a statement issued by the Cancer Research Campaign, which publishes the British Journal of Cancer.
Their paper adds crucial weight to the 1988 theory put forward by Leo Kinlen, a cancer epidemiologist at Oxford University, who said that exposure to a common unidentified infection through population mixing resulted in the disease.
Which statement can be supported by Heather Dickinson and Louise Parker’s new findings?
选项
A、Radiation has contributed to leukaemia.
B、Putting a lot of people from rural area in a large towns increases the risk of childhood leukaemia.
C、Population mixing is the most probable cause for leukaemia clusters.
D、Childhood leukaemia is caused by an unusual infection.
答案
C
解析
第二段里“..., but failed to establish a link with radiation or pollution”这句话证明A是错的;“You would get an increased risk of it if you suddenly put a lot of people from large towns in a rural area, ...”证明B是错的;“Childhood leukaemia appears to be an unusual result of a common infection”证明D是错的;“Our study shows that population mixing can account for the leukaemia cluster and that all children,...”证明C是正确的。所以此题正确答案应当为C。
