问题     Many countries will not allow cigarette advertising in their newspaper or on TV — especially【C1】______the advertisements are usually written with young people in mind.【C2】______advertising, the tobacco companies have begun to【C3】______sports events. They give money to football, motor racing, tennis and a number of【C4】______sports【C5】______condition that the name of the cigarette is【C6】______. This is now【C7】______concern, because it does exactly what many【C8】______try to do — suggest that smoking has some connection【C9】______being strong and athletic.
    In all this, the point of view of the non-smokers has to be【C10】______as well: " I【C11】______smoker would stop【C12】______the air. I wish I could eat in a restaurant without having to smell cigarettes smoke. " It has been【C13】______that, in a room where a large number of people are smoking, a non-smoker will breathe in the【C14】______of two or three cigarettes during an evening.【C15】______, non-smokers are now majority in many western countries.

    Faced with【C17】______sales, the western tobacco companies have begun to look outside then-own countries.

【C14】
选项 A、same
B、equal
C、comparable
D、equivalent
答案D
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。本句此处应为名词，equivalent可做名词，意为“相等物，等价物”，在价值上、效果上、意义上相当，如：He sold the lemons at the equivalent of two dollars each．他出售的柠檬两元钱一个。此处为“相当于吸人两到三支烟的烟量”，正合题意，为正确答案。equivalent也可做形容词，含义与名词一样——“等价的，相等的”，后面一般用to做介词，如：The misery of such a position is equivalent to its happiness．这一职位的甘苦相当。same“完全一致的，相同的，同一个的”，表两者一样时，用法为the same as，如：You are not allowed to do so according to the same rules as before．根据和以前一样的规则，你不能这样做。此处用法错误，不能选。equal也可做名词，意为“相等的事物(或数量)，对手，匹敌者，同辈”，指可与之比拟的东西或人，如：As a musician he knows no equal．作为一个音乐家他是无与伦比的。本句无此含义，因此，不能选。comparable为形容词，根据语法就可首先排除。comparable意为“可相比(with)、比得上的(to)”，如：A fire is comparable with the sun：both give light and heat．火可以和太阳相比，两者均可发出光和热。／No horse has a speed com—parable to that of his．没有一匹马的速度能比得上他的马。
