DTheycanburnatveryhighdegrees.

答案与题解：

1．D短文的第一段讲到，去年七月四日，Pete在观看国庆焰火燃放时不幸被击中眼睛。

2．B短文的第二段讲到，美国眼科学会呼吁人们在庆祝国庆时最好让专业人员去放烟火，而自己只作观赏者。

3．C短文的第三段讲到，在美国，每年发生9，000多起有烟火导致的伤害，其中有一半是头部伤，而在这一半头部伤中，又有三分之一是眼伤。

4．D前面三项危害短文都分别提到过，而head—relatedinjuries包含fireworkseyeinjuries，而不是由其导致的。

5．A短文最后一段说到，sparklers在许多人看来是安全的，但其实对于小于5岁的孩子来说，但其所有烟花造成的伤害的三分之一都是由sparklers导致的。

显然，它们不是没有危害的

答案与题解：

1．C短文的第二段提到了此项研究的90al，即aim，这便是learningnewwaystotreatorpreventillness.

2．D前三项在短文的第四段都有题记，第四项应该是“参加研究的妇女及其婴儿家中的空气与水等物质，”而不是“医院中的空气与水”。

3．A短文的第六段说到，预计从长远的角度讲，此项研究将有利于国家卫生保健费用开支的节约。

4．B短文的第一段以及倒数第三段都说到，这些婴儿将从出生前一直被跟踪到21岁。

5．D前三项在短文的最后一段都有提及，只有第四项是错误的，因为研究对象都是怀孕的妇女，不可能是所有年龄段的人们。
