Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage. According to a report from the Harvard School of Public Health, many everyday pr

23、oducts, including some bug sprays and cleaning fluids, could lead to an increased risk of brain and behavioral disorders in children. The developing brain, the report says, is particularly 26 to the toxic effects of certain chemicals these products may contain, and the damage they cause can be 27 .

24、The official policy, however, is still evolving. Health and environmental 28 have long urged U.S. government agencies to 29 the use of some of the 11 chemicals the report cites and called for more studies on their long-term effects. In 2001, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency 30 the ty

25、pe and amount of lead that could be present in paint and soil in homes and child-care 31 , after concerns were raised about lead poisoning. The agency is now 32 the toxic effects of some of the chemicals in the latest report. But the threshold for regulation is high. Because childrens brain and beha

26、vioral disorders, like hyperactivity and lower grades, can also be linked to social and genetic factors, its tough to pin them on exposure to specific chemicals with solid 33 evidence, which is what the EPA requires. Even the Harvard study did not prove a direct 34 but noted strong associations betw

27、een exposure and risk of behavioral issues. Nonetheless, its smart to 35 caution. While it may be impossible to prevent kids from drinking tap water that may contain trace amounts of chemicals, keeping kids away from lawns recently sprayed with chemicals and freshly dry-cleaned clothes cant hurt. 注意

30、 on Answer Sheet 2. The Impossibility of Rapid Energy Transitions A Politicians are fond of promising rapid energy transitions. Whether it is a transition from imported to domestic oil or from coal-powered electricity production to natural-gas power plants, politicians love to talk big. Unfortunatel

31、y for them (and often the taxpayers), our energy systems are a bit like an aircraft carrier, they are unbelievably expensive, they are. built to last for a very long time, they have a huge amount of inertia (meaning it takes a lot of energy to set them moving), and they have a lot of momentum once t

32、hey are set in motion. No matter how hard you try, you cant turn something that large on a dime (10美分硬币),or even a few thousand dimes. B In physics, moving objects have two characteristics relevant to understanding the dynamics of energy systems: inertia and momentum. Inertia is the resistance of objects to efforts to change their state of motion. If you try to push a boulder (大圆石), it pushes you back. Once you have started the boulder rolling, it develops momentum, wh
