    If health issues【C4】______cell phone use, the implications are huge. According to a recent survey,Americans chat【C5】______cell phones 2.26 trillion minutes annually, which【C6】______ $100 billion for the wireless carriers. Epidemiologists(流行病学家)pointed out that brain cancer is a( n) 【C7】______. Overall, there has not been a(n) 【C8】______ in its incidence since cell phones arrived.

    "Most cancers have【C11】______causes," an expert says,【C12】______she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
    Besides, children are more【C13】______ to radiation than adults, other scientists point out.

【C8】
选项 A、raise
B、decrease
C、add
D、rise
答案D
解析 名词辨析题。根据后面的but判断，此处前后是转折关系，后面句子中有个increase，因此前面说的应该是没有增长，所以这里应该是表示增长意思的单词。[D]rise作名词时，表示“增长，上升”，符合文意，故为正确答案。[A]raise作为名词，表示“加薪”，不符合文意，故排除；[B]decrease作名词时，意为“下降”，不符合此处的逻辑关系，故排除；[C]add作名词时意为“加法”，作动词时，才表示“增加”。故排除。
