参考答案: C
参考解析: 本题的考点是固定搭配。此处表达的意思是“与环境相关的”,related to为固定搭配，意为“与……有关”。
从文章第一句可以看出，文章的重点，即世界卫生组织今年“世界卫生日”的主题，是创建健康的环境。
家庭、学校和社区应该是最安全的“地方”，可是，对儿童健康的最大威胁就存在于这些本该是最安全的地方。应选“地方”，而不是“机会”、“时间”或“岗位”。此句中的 “lurk”一词为不及物动词，意为“潜藏，潜在”。
本题的考点是与up搭配的词组的区分。此句的意思应该是“每个孩子都具有在健康家庭、学校和社区成长的权利”。grow up意为“成长，长大”,stay up意为“醒着不睡”,pick up意为“好转，改善；重新开始”,get up意为“站起；起床”。
此句谈及的是“我们的孩子们”，即“他们”。他们的未来取决于他们现在是否能享有良好的健康。
短语to have something in one's hand表示“掌握某事”。此句的意思是“他们的未来掌握在我们手中”。
本题的考点是名词risk的固定搭配。此句中“更加有效地工作”的目的应当是“减少我们的孩子们所面临的来自环境的危险”,“减少”用reduce。 run the risk ( of doing something）意为“冒自身危险做某事”；take a risk/risks意为“冒险做可能失败、有危险等的事”；二者都为固定词组。regard意为“注视；将某人（某事物）视为；留意”。
从上一句可以看出，此处应填“面临”一词。face做动词，可以有“面对，面向、对付，应付、面临”等意思。
从前后文可以看出，此处应填“水”这个词。drinking water意为“饮用水”。
根据空白处前面的逗号可以看，此处应填一个能引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词来代替events一词。
本题的考点是动词take的固定搭配。take place是固定搭配，意思是“发生”。take shape意为“成形；变得更有条理”,take orders from sb．意为“受命于某人，按某人之命做”。
从下一句可以看到，此处应选“burden”一词。短语disease burden的意思是“病症负担”。bear the burden是常用搭配。另外，后一句中的the total burden of disease也是一个值得注意的提示。
文章谈的是环境因素所造成的危害，所以此处应选“factors”一词。
从本句的时态——现在完成时可以推断全句的意思，即“自从1950年以来，每年的 4月7日都庆祝世界卫生日”。
前一句提到，“世界卫生组织每年都选择一个主题……”，此空白后面的短语首字母大写，显然代表主题，故应选“theme”。
