选项 A、non-smoking
B、no-smoking
C、anti-smoking
D、against smoking
答案 C
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。句子前半部分已交待“越来越多的人戒烟”，此处讲戒烟的原因之一是受到怎样的广告的影响，根据上下文当然应当是反对吸烟等广告的影响，选项中anti-smoking意为“反对吸烟，抵制吸烟”，正合题意，为正确答案。anti-常做前缀，表示“反对，抵抗”，如：anti-consumerism反消费主义／anti—sunburn防晒的。non-也做前缀，表示“非，不”，如：non—alcoholic不含酒精的／non—existent不存在的。non—smoking advertising意为“禁止吸烟的广告”。根据上下文，广告宣传是影响人们戒烟的原因之一，但广告本身仅仅起着宣传的作用，并没有法律的效力来禁止人们的某些行为举止；再者，文章也没有交待国家法律对吸烟的明令禁止，因此，此选项不合题意，为错误答案。no-smoking与non—smoking在此做形容词，含义相同，如：a non—smoking area in a restaurant餐厅的非吸烟区／Could you put me in the no—smoking section?可以把我安排在非吸烟区吗?这两个词也可做名词，含义用法也相同，如：Non—smoking／No—smoking is now the normin most workplaces．现在很多工作场所都规定不能抽烟。因此，与non—smoking的原因相同，该选项也不合题意。选项against只能做介词，虽也可表“反对，违背”之意，但不能与smoking组合成复合形容词修饰advertising，如：No one is against this propos-al．没有人反对这个提议。可见其在此用法错误。
