问题     A study has been conducted on public opinion on the use of animals in research. Most—7 in 10—Swedes indicate that the use of animals in research is acceptable for medical research aimed at finding cures for diseases. Young people are most negative.
    The findings indicate that although most people spontaneously think of medical research when they hear the term "animal experiments", many respondents also associate it with makeup and hygiene products. 3 in 10 respondents believe that cosmetics are tested on animals in Sweden, even though this has been banned since 2004.
    Among the 30% of respondents who find animal experiments to be unacceptable in medical research aimed at finding cures for disease, nearly one third respond that some animal experiments could, nevertheless, be acceptable in certain situations.
    The survey shows that 7 in 10 Swedes can accept the use of animals in medical research if its aim is to acquire more knowledge about diseases and how they can be prevented and cured. This ratio is the same as that reported in a 1992 study, when attitudes of Swedes towards laboratory animals were last measured.
    Vetenskap & Allmaenhet(Public and Science)has conducted the study on behalf of the Swedish Research Council. The opinion survey describes how the public views the use of laboratory animals, both in general and in relation to medical objectives. A sample including just over 1000 individuals representing the national Swedish population aged 16 years and older was surveyed in January 2008. Some of the questions were given only to part of the group.
Vetenskap & Allmaenhet carried out the study
选项 A、for a commercial purpose.
B、for the benefit of animals.
C、on the public consensus.
D、as a medical research.
答案C
解析 第1段第1句中的public opinion和最后一段第2句中的public views都表明这次调查是为了反映公众的态度，C的public consensus与public opinion同义，因此，C为本题答案。本文在一开始和最后一段都指出了本次调查的目的，没有提到与“商业”有关的内容，因此A不正确；B中的animals和D中的medical等词在原文提到过，但这些都不是本次调查的目的，原文也没有提及本次调查带着这些目的。
