问题     Consumer products such as shampoos and sunscreens, even ones boosted as safer, may contain potentially harmful chemicals not listed on their labels, according to a study out today that tested dozens of them. Chemicals that【C1】________hormones or affect health were found in all 42 of conventional products sampled, as well as in most—32 of 43—of the alternative products【C2】________as safer, including some by Seventh Generation, the study says. The scientific group studies the【C3】________between the environment and women’s health. "It was【C4】________," says Julia Brody, co-author of the findings. She says consumers using a typical array of products are【C5】________many harmful chemicals.
    Seventh Generation, which makes six of the alternative products tested, welcomed the study’s goal of e-ducating consumers【C6】________questioned its method. Martin Wolf, its director of product sustainability, says the company【C7】________none of the chemicals the study found in three of its products. "The fact that trace amounts were found raises questions" about possible cross-contamination in either【C8】________or testing, he says. "There are so many【C9】________chemicals in this world that they’re finding their way【C10】________everything. "
    John Spengler, a professor of environmental health at Harvard School of Public Health, who was not【C11】________ the study, says the work is "very important" for improving health concerns and【C12】________companies to possible cross-contamination in products, whether from the supply【C13】________or the packaging. "You don’t want to worry people【C14】________a reasonable extent," he says, adding that trace amounts of some chemicals may not pose a problem.【C15】________, he says, there’s an "interactive" accumulating effect from broad use of chemicals,【C16】________it’s important to look at them as a group. The study, which tested for 66 chemicals and found 55 of them in the products, says sunscreens and fragrant products had the most【C17】________chemicals and some of the highest concentrations. Brody, who says there needs to be a more【C18】________listing and testing of a product’s ingredients,【C19】________consumers to use fewer products, seek plant-based ingredients and rely on【C20】________ water, baking soda and vinegar for cleaning.
【C7】

选项 A、sells
B、studies
C、uses
D、emits

答案C

解析 上文提到Seventh Generation质疑该研究的方法,说明该公司对研究结果并不满意;本句的none of the chemicals对发现化学物质进行否定。C项uses表明该公司负责人认为公司产品并未使用该研究所发现的任何化学物质,符合语义逻辑。该公司出售的是产品而不是化学物质,排除A项sells。该公司主要是生产而非研究,排除B项studies。本文讨论的不是化学物质的排放问题,排除D项emits。
