Among the myths taken as fact bythe
environmental managers of most corporations is
the belief that environmental regulations affect all
competitors in a given industry uniformly. In reality,
regulatory costs—and therefore compliance—fall
unevenly, economically disadvantaging some
companies and benefiting others. For example,
a plant situated near a number of larger
noncompliant competitors is less likely to attract
the attention of local regulators than is an isolated
plant, and less attention means lower costs.
Additionally, large plants can spread compliance
costs such as waste treatment across a larger
revenue base; on the other hand, some smaller
plants may not even be subject to certain
provisions such as permit or reporting
requirements by virtue of their size. Finally, older
production technologies often continue to generate
toxic wastes that were not regulated when the
technology was first adopted. New regulations
have imposed extensive compliance costs on
companies still using older industrial coal-fired
burners that generate high sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide outputs, for example, whereas new
facilities generally avoid processes that would
create such waste products. By realizing that they
have discretion and that not all industries are
affected equally by environmental regulation,
environmental managers can help their companies
to achieve a competitive edge by anticipating
regulatory pressure and exploring all possibilities
for addressing how changing regulations will affect
their companies specifically.

顶一下老帖子，我对53题很困惑，文章结构基本上看懂了，但是不理解Ｃ选项为什么对，文章说old technologies ...

再顶老帖子： 54的D答案 说了 exemplify the misconception. 首先我们要明白文章中的misconception是什么
Misconception： environment regulations treat firms uniformly.
Truth： environment regulations DO NOT treat firms uniformly.
所以additionally 后面的这个例子是来 exemplify the truth, 而不是 Misconception。 相反的，我们可以说additionally 后面的这段话是misconception 的counterexample。

Although these outputs are environmentally hazardous, some plants still generate them as waste products despite the high compliance costs they impose.
选项说：尽管有危害，这些工厂在不顾罚金的前提下仍然生产（明知山有虎偏向虎山走的意思）
但是原文仅仅说明会向这些工厂收费——过去不受关管辖，现在要管你了，要收费了！！

所以还是感觉inconsistent....

Finally, older
production technologies often continue to generate
toxic wastes that were not regulated when the
technology was first adopted. New regulations
have imposed extensive compliance costs on
companies still using older industrial coal-fired
burners that generate high sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide outputs, for example, whereas new
facilities generally avoid processes that would
create such waste products.

这说明，产生污染物的老工厂一开始是不被监管的，现在有了new regulations要对这些老工厂收取高昂的费用（extensive 对应c中的high）。反向思考一下，如果这些老工厂现在不会产生污染物，即都是环保的，还有必要付extensive compliance costs吗？

文中说了旧的技术往往会继续使用,从而说明了新管理出来后,还是有人采用旧技术生产
