问题     So many people use the cell phone so frequently every day. But【S1】______little is certain about the health effects of its use. Manufacturers【S2】______that cell phones meet government standards for safe radio-frequency radiation emission, but enough studies are beginning to document a possible【S3】______in rare brain tumors (肿瘤), headaches and behavioral disorders in children to cause concern. So far, the evidence isn’t【S4】______on whether the use of cell phones【S5】______to any increased risk of cancer. In a new trial, researchers asked 47 volunteers to【S6】______in a project to measure glucose (葡萄糖) consumption in the brain by scanning the brain to see how cells use energy. For both 50-minute scans, the volunteers had a cell phone【S7】______to each ear. During the first scan, the devices were turned off, but for the second scan, the phone on the right ear was【S8】______on and received a recorded-message call, although the volume was muted (消音) so the noise wouldn’t bias the results. The results of the second scan showed that the【S9】______of the brain nearest to the device had higher rates of glucose consumption than the rest of the brain. The study shows that cell phones can change brain activity, and【S10】______a whole new avenue for scientific inquiry, though it doesn’t say anything about whether cell-phone radiation can cause cancer.

G) increase O) switched
H) maintain
【S5】
选项
答案B
解析 空格前面为名词短语the use of cell phones，后面为介词to，因此空格处需要填入充当谓语的动词。空格位于whether引导的从句中，从句要表达的意思是手机的使用是否会造成患癌症风险的增加，因此空格处应填入一个表示“造成，导致”意思的动词，并且需要与介词to搭配，由此确定contributes为本题答案，意为“促成，造成”。根据从句的主语，此处需要填入的是第三人称单数形式的动词，因此过去分词fixed，switched以及动词原形derive，maintain，participate可以直接排除，expresses“表达”和provides“提供”均不符合题意，也可以排除。
