30. The author associates the issue of global warning with that of smoking because
[A] they both suffered from the government's negligence.
[B] a lesson from the latter is applicable to the former.
[C] the outcome of the latter aggravates the former.
[D] both of them have turned from bad to worse.
[答案] B
[解题思路]
文章第二段开头提到了“There are upsetting parallels today”(这种令人不安的情况又在发生着),同时第三段开头更明确地指出“Just as on smoking, voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about global warming is incomplete, that it's OK to keep pouring fumes into the air until we know for sure”(和现在对待吸烟问题上的看法一样,来自很多地方的意见认为,科学关于全球变暖的证据不足,在我们有确切证据之前还是可以继续把废弃排放到空气中)。很显然,作者认为吸烟问题和全球变暖问题具有可比拟性“parallels”,因此后者的教训也有可能适用于前者,正确答案为B。C选项的错误在于两个现象不具有因果关系或先后联系,而A、D选项的表述在文章中都没有提到。
[题目译文]

[A] 两者都被政府所忽视
[B] 后者的教训适用于前者
[C] 后者的结构加重了前者
[D] 两者都从不好的状况变得更加糟糕
