以我人格担保:第10题应该选E New regulations have imposed extensive compliance costs on companies still using older industrial coal-fired burners that (35) generate high sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide outputs, for example, whereas new facilities generally avoid processes that would create such waste pro- (40) ducts.
A:Older production technologies cannot be adapted so as to reduce production of these outputs as waste products.(文中只是说因为compliance cost即减少污染需要处理器材或技术所花费的成本,那些公司仍然沿用old burner,而旧公司comply的话有2种方法:1:改进旧技术,旧机器;2:换新机器(后面那句紫色的新公司正是占了2这个方法的便宜)而文中没说不可以采取第1种方法即"Older production technologies cannot be adapted") C:Although these outputs are environmentally hazardous, some plants still generate them as waste products despite the high compliance costs they impose.(仍然生产和后面的compliance cost=用新技术,是矛盾的啊:翻译过来就是尽管comply条规,采用治理污染会花费高成本,老工厂还是继续用旧机器)应该用because of换despite才对,同意楼上的,这个选项的逻辑本身就有矛盾
E:Since the production processes that generate these outputs are less costly than alternative processes, these less expensive processes are sometimes adopted despite their acknowledged environmental hazards.
再来看E,完美的对应了“New regulations have imposed extensive compliance costs ”,因为不comply的反面就是"production process that generate these outpust are less costly",所以这些公司继续沿用这些能够“produce environmental hazards”的旧机器
