答案与题解：
1.A issue 在这里作动词使用时，表示发行、颁布的意思。withdraw 表示取回、收回，bring back 表示恢复。因此，issue 符合题意。
2.B 四个选项填入后得出的句子在句法和语义上都成立，但最佳答案是estimate,因为对于无法准确测量的数字专家只能做出估测。
3.B 根据上下文的意义，卫生部提出的应该是最低标准。
4.A engage in 是一个固定词组，表示从事或者参与某项工作或者活动。
5.C 这四个选项分别表示物理学家、化学家、心理学家和地质学家，根据上下文的意思来看，只有得到心理学家的许可是最合理的。
6.B 法律或者法规中的条文和要求是必须遵守的，因此必须用must。
