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 passage focuses on______.

选项 A、the debate on mobile phone’s radiation
B、the trousers concerned with mobile phones
C、the researchers on mobile phones’dangers
D、the fruit of worldwide studies into mobile phones

答案A

解析 本题是一道主旨题,要求考生回答文章谈论的焦点问题。该文首先用“带有防手机辐射口袋的裤子”引出全文,紧接着说李维·施特劳斯公司这一设计的目的并非利用消费者的恐惧来赚钱而是迎合客户的需求,即“防止手机辐射危害人们的健康”以满足客户对健康的要求。之后的所有内容都围绕“手机辐射是否有危害”展开讨论,所以本题正确答案应选A,即关于手机辐射的讨论。
