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 shields(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," Levi’s European communications manager Cedric Jungpeter 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 emissions from mobile phones 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 400,000 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 are harmful
D、consumption of mobile phones will be affected by the endless debate

答案C

解析 本题是一道推理题。要求考生推断作者采用“The debate is open”这句话的目的。这句话是李维·施特劳斯公司欧洲区经理塞德里克·君皮特所说,根据上下文我们知道,他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开放性的讨论,始终没有定论”以此来澄清公司并非乘机赢利。所以选项C正确。
