问题     Where do pesticides(杀虫剂)fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now【C1】______soil, water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams Ashless and our gardens and woodlands【C2】______and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly【C3】______throughout our world?
    We know that even single【C4】______to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers and others exposed to【C5】______quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that【C6】______pollute our world.
    Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of【C7】______are cumulative(累积的)over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily【C8】______. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a【C9】______of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs," says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them【C10】______".
A)chemicals I)sufficient
B)obviously J)avoided
C)threat K)exposure
D)pollute L)ignored
E)found M)silent
F)invisibly N)unnoticed
G)touch O)small
H)distributed [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 H
解析 此处填形容词。将备选项中的形容词分别带入原文中，最能使句意通顺的为H)distributed(分布的)。该句大意为“污染遍及全球，人类能逃脱得了吗?”此时，如果不了解distributed的形容词用法，则很难做对本题。
