As an Alaskan fisherman, Timothy June, 54, used to think that he was safe from industrial pollutants at his home in Haines - a town with a population of 2,400 people and 4,000 eagles, with 20 million acres of protected wilderness nearby. But in early 2007, June agreed to take part in a survey of 35 Americans from seven states. It was a biomonitoring project, in which people' s blood and urine were tested for traces of chemicals - in this case, three potentially hazardous classes of compounds found in common household products like shampoo, tin cans, shower curtains and upholstery (椅子套). The results- released in November in a report called "Is It in Us?" by a coalition of environmental groups - were not reassuring. Every one of the participants, ranging from an Illinois state legislator to a Massachusetts minister, tested positive for all three classes of contaminants (污染物). And while the simple presence of these chemicals doesn' t necessarily indicate a health risk, the fact that typical Americans carry these chemicals at all shocked June and his fellow participants. As Stephanie Felten, 28, of Aurora, Ill. , put it, "Why should chemical companies be allowed to roll the dice on my health?" Clearly, there are chemicals in our bodies that don' t belong there. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducts a large, ongoing survey that has found 148 chemicals in Americans of all ages, including lead, mercury (汞), dioxins and PCBs. Other scientists have detected antibacterial agents from liquid soaps in breast milk, infants' cord blood and the urine of young girls. And in 2005, the Environmental Working Group found an average of 200 chemicals in the cord blood of 10 newborns, including known carcinogens and neurotoxins. "Our babies are being born pre - polluted," says Sharyle Patton of Commonweal, which cosponsored "Is It in Us?" "This is going to be the next big environmental issue after climate change. /
单选题
Which of the following statements is true about Haines according to the passage?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】根据题干定位到第一段第一句：Haines—a town with a population of 2,400 people and 4,000 eagles, with 20 million acres of protected wilderness nearby(海恩斯，在这个只有2,400人口的小镇却生活着4,000只鹰，附近有着2,000万英卣的野生保护区)，由此排除了A和B，而C选项与此相符，故为本题的正确答案。而通过后面的实验结果我们可以知道D选项是不符合文意的，故排除。

In the project that June took part in
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】根据题干定位到第一段第二、三句：But in early 2007, June agreed to take part in a survey of 35 Americans from seven states. It was a biomonitoring project, in which people's blood and urine were tested for traces of chemicals(但是，在2007年初，朱安同意参加一项有来自七个州的35名美国人参与的调查，该项调查是一项生态监测项目，检查了参加者的血液和尿液以寻找化学物质的踪迹)，由此我们不难判断只有B选项与原文相符，故为本题正确答案。而第三句提到：……in this case, three potentially hazardous classes of compounds found(在这项调查中，发现了三种存在危险可能性的化学合成物)，由此我们可以判断A选项的表述是不准确的，故排除。

June and his fellow participants were shocked at
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】根据题干定位到第一段第六句：And while the simple presence of these chemicals doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk, the fact that typical Americans carry these chemicals at all shocked June and his fellow participants(虽然这些化学物质的单纯存在并不一定表明存在健康风险，但是大部分美国人体内都含有这些化学物质这一事实还是另朱安和其他参与调查的人感到震惊)，对照选项与原文之后发现只有A选项最切合原文，因此为本题的正确答案。
单选题
How many chemicals did the Environmental Working Group fend in the core blood of 10 newborns in 2005 ?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】根据题于定位到原文第二段第四句：And in 2005, the: Environmental Working Group found an average of 200 chemicals in the cord blood of 10 newborns(2005年，环境工作团体在10名新生儿的脐带血中发现了平均200种化学物质)，很显然此题的正确答案为B。而A选项是前面提到的美国疾病与预防控制中心在美国人中发现的化学物质的种类，故排除：C选项是第一段中提到的June参加的调查所发现的结果，故排除；而D选项是一个纯粹的干扰项，把被检测的新生儿的数量放到了这里，故排除。

What does Sharyle Patton of Commonweal think of the fact that researchers found many chemicals in newborns?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】根据题干定位到最后一段结尾部分：This is going to be the next big environmental issue after climate change(这将成为继气候变化之后的有一个重大环境问题)，我们知道气候变化已经成为了全球关注的重大环境问题，由此我们可以推断SharyIe Patton认为新生儿体内含有多种化学物质这一现象也将成为严重的环境问题，由此我们可以推断C选项是正确大答案。本段倒数第二句说：our babies ale being born pre-polluted(我们的宝宝已经被提前污染了)，这只能说明现在一代的孩子是在妈妈的肚子里就已经被污染了，并不能推断出现在的美国人在出生之前就已经被污染了，B选项属于过度引申，故排除。A选项和D选项在文中没有根据，故排除。
