Where do pesticides fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil,water and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world:
We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farmworkers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.
Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative over long periods of time, and that the danger to individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, " says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed."

參考答案
1.[B] 題干的句子是文章第1段第3句，這是一個(gè)帶有插入語(yǔ)的簡(jiǎn)單句，contrary在此表示跟part of nature相反，因此答案為B。
2.[D] 第2段最后一句提到，我們必須更加關(guān)注吸收少量殺蟲劑的潛在后果，它們正在不知不覺地污染我們的世界。因此，作者對(duì)殺蟲劑對(duì)環(huán)境的影響關(guān)注且擔(dān)憂,D符合題意。
3.[A] 第2段第2句提到，殺蟲劑使人突然發(fā)病或者死亡是很令人難過的亊，對(duì)于人口整體來說，人類對(duì)殺蟲劑長(zhǎng)期累計(jì)的潛在后果的認(rèn)識(shí)不足，才是最嚴(yán)重的問題，故選A。
4.[C] 根據(jù)第3段倒數(shù)第2句說的“對(duì)未來的災(zāi)難無(wú)動(dòng)于衷是人的本性”以及最后一句說的."大多數(shù)人只對(duì)有明顯跡象的疾病予以關(guān)注”可知C正是人們忽視化學(xué)藥物的潛在危害的原因，故選C。
5.[D] Dubos博士話中“最可怕的敵人”指的是“殺蟲劑引起的潛在危險(xiǎn)”，博士話中的slowly approach them unnoticed直接表明D正確。
