Many people worry about the supposed ill effects caused by radiation from handsets and base stations, (1)_____ the lack of credible evidence of any harm.

选项
A、unscientific
B、real
C、anecdotal
D、legal
答案
C
解析
However表转折,说明有关这些手机短信作用效果的例证还不完全可信,anecdotal"多趣闻轶事的,轶事一样的",如:His findings are based on anecdotal evidence rather than serious research.他的发现只是基于粗浅的证据,而不是严肃的研究。anecdotal evidence在心理学上称为"轶事证据",即粗浅的证据,经常以故事形式出现:比如"我记得那时…","我听说…",这种证据通常不准确、不可靠,故anecdotal符合题意。unscientific"不科学的"虽然放进句子中也通顺,但需要进一步的定量研究,去证明这些作用是否科学,而不是过早地下定论,故排除。如选real"真实的"或legal"合法的",说明有关这些作用效果的例证是真实的或是合法的,而这样的例证是不需要进一步定量研究的,故二者不符合题意,排除。
