问题      Since the  【21】______    of the National Environmental Policies Act in 1969, the United States Congress, legislature at the federal level, has  【22】______    a series of laws designed to prevent the air and water pollution and to  【23】______    noise. At the same time, legislatures at the state  【24】______    have also been active in this area, and many states have laws that are similar to the federal laws.  【25】______   ,a state law must not conflict with a federal  【26】______    or  【27】______    an unreasonable burden on interstate commerce.

   The judgment is  【30】______    Lockheed. The federal government of the United States has passed laws  【31】______    aviation and noise in the federal Aviation Act of 1958 and the Noise Control Act of ]972. Such legislation preempted the field and  【32】______    state action, because  【33】______    regulations would place an unreasonable burden on interstate commerce.

【25】
选项 A、Therefore
B、Moreover
C、Although
D、However
答案D
解析 本题考查语篇的衔接。这句的意思是：然而，州立法律不能与联邦法规冲突，也不能在州际商业中施加不合理的负担。前文告诉我们：联邦政府和各个州的政府都有立法权力，后面紧跟着强调了他们之间的关系，即联邦立法高于各州的立法。显然，这里在语意上是一种转折的关系。therefore“因此”；moreover“而且”；although“尽管”； however“然而”，表转折。
