Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but the doubters insisted that we didn’t know for sure? That the evidence was inconclusive, the science uncertain? That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way? Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10 million smokers went to early graves.

----------2005年考研英语阅读真题text2 passage1

26.An argument made by supporters of smoking was that ________________________.

[A] there was no scientific evidence of the correlation between smoking and death

[B] the number of early deaths of smokers in the past decades was insignificant

[C] people had the freedom to choose their own way of life

[D] antismoking people were usually talking nonsense

正确答案：C

详细解析：首先根据题干 argument made by supporters of smoking ，是要找出支持吸烟者的论据。本段**句中： scientists argued that smoking would kill us but the doubters insisted that we didn’t know for sure? 科学家认为吸烟会杀死我们，而怀疑者坚持认为我们并不确定。可见这里的doubters 即为supporters of smoking。Doubters 后面接了三个insist 的宾语从句：[1]that we didn’t know for sure?   [2]That the evidence was inconclusive, the science uncertain?   [3]That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way? 这三条便是26题的直接答案。然后我们需要 一 一匹配，来选出正确答案。

首先看选项A，显然是对That the evidence was inconclusive, the science uncertain? 的改写。首先要明确这句话是否能等同于no scientific evidence。Inconclusive是不确定的，uncertain也是不确定的，这与完全没有科学依据并不等同。所以A选项说的太过**。

再看选项B，说过去几十年吸烟早死者数量不重要，这一观点不属于原文三个问号里面的观点。因而是属于臆造的观点，错误。

选项C 人民有自由去选择他们自己的生活方式。乍一看好像和哪个论点都不沾边。但是我们还需认真回归原文，进行匹配。前两个肯定是与该句没什么关系，实际上它是对第三句That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way？的改写。The antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life意思是反吸烟游行将会破坏我们的生活方式。那么什么是“我们的生活方式”？不要忘了这是美国人写的，他们所标榜的无非就是“自由与民主”，而后面又说，政府应该别插手（stay out of the way），也就是人民自己进行抉择，也就是自由选择自己的生活方式（吸烟或者不吸烟）。因而C选项，人们有自由去选择自己的生活方式，是正确的选项。故C正确。

再看D 反吸烟人士经常讲胡话，不属于三个论点之一，来自Lots of Americans bought that nonsense 许多美国人竟然详细这些胡话。是对原文的曲解，为错误选项。

所以本题的正确选项为C。本题难点在于：其一是要每个选项都要回归原文进行匹配，比较消耗时间；其二是，原文的三个论点是以疑问句的形式展现出来的，因而选项改为陈述句的时候做了非常大的替换工程，不是简单的词语替换，而是上升到了能否实质上理解句子的程度。

考官真的是想要告诉你，万事开头难呢！ 这里读的明白分析的清楚，后面的题也会如鱼得水。考研的日子开头各种困难，但是经过自己耐心处理、攻克和拼命学习，是不是觉得到了现在已经慢慢得心应手了呢？ 不忘初心，方得始终！大家，加油！
