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 educating 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.

【C8】

选项 A、manufacturing
B、marketing
C、classifying
D、designing

答案A

解析 本句中提到possible cross-contamination(可能的交叉污染),交叉污染指的是产品在加工、运输和贮藏等过程中,不同原料或产品之间发生的相互污染。A项manufacturing“生产”和空格后的testing同为可能会产生交叉污染的环节,符合语义。B项marketing和C项classifying分别表示“营销,销售”和“分类”,产品在销售或分类过程中一般不会产生交叉污染。D项designing“设计”,产品的设计只涉及到产品的外观等因素,与内在因素无关。
