问题     A tattoo may give parents of children with food allergies some peace of mind when they send their kids off to school. Yes, a tattoo—but it’s a【C1】______ one.
    SafetyTat sells colorful stick-on labels and wash-off tattoos that【C2】______ of a nut allergy or provide other important medical information. Michele Welsh, a mother-of-three,【C3】______ the company about five years ago. The idea came to her after she wrote her cell phone number on her kids’ arms with a pen in case they got【C4】______ while at an amusement park. She then thought of her nephew, who has a【C5】______ fatal peanut allergy and how much time her sister-in-law had spent in the emergency room with him.
    What if she could just have a【C6】______ !
    Welsh pointed out that caregivers may remember not to give the child a peanut butter cookie, but【C7】______ they don’t think to look on the packaging of other products. "Sometimes you need something visual to remind others to check the ingredients," she said "And for older kids it’s not as big of a【C8】______ because they know to check the ingredients themselves, but the little kids are still learning."
    However, some have expressed【C9】______ that the labels would draw unwanted attention from schoolyard bullies. "A lot of kids do get bullied at school about their food allergies, so some parents fear that this might give more ammunition to kids," Kevin McGrath, a spokesperson for the American College of Allergy.
    However, he did say that the tattoos "may just be another thing to make parents feel more【C10】______ when sending their children off to a party or picnic or class trip."
A) separated B) warn C) generally D) negotiated
E) apparently F) established G) challenge H) reminder
I) confident J) concerns K) potentially L) remind
M) temporary N) incentive O) radiant [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 B
解析 填入空格的词作定语从句的谓语，而且能与介词of搭配。该定语从句描述纹身的作用，结合第1段和本句内容可知，纹身可以提供有关小孩吃什么过敏的信息，保障有过敏体质的小孩的安全。故选warn一词，warn of a nut allergy意为“提醒对坚果过敏”。词库中remind通常也可和of连用，但常用于remind sb．of sth．结构，故排除。
