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] 【C10】

选项

答案 N

解析此处应填副词。本句说了两种疾病以及人们分别对两种疾病的态度，yet表示前后句子构成了对比。人们对那些有明显症状的疾病印象深刻(most impressed)，那么对于the worstenemies(在本文中指的是小剂量杀虫剂引起的问题)人们应该是不大注意的，N)unnoticed(被忽视地)符合句意，故为答案。需要注意该词既可作形容词，也可作副词。
