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 city of Burbank in California adopted an ordinance  【28】______    the nighttime takeoffs of jet aircraft between 10 p.m and 7 a.m. Lockheed owned and operated the Burbank Airport. It  【29】______    Brubank to prevent the enforcement of the ordinance.
   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.

Moreover the bunching of flights to  【35】______    local curfews would produce even greater noise and would increase the danger of  【36】______    by increasing traffic  【37】______   . From the nature of aviation  【38】______   , a single national control was essential. As a local regulation, the  【39】______    prohibiting nighttime takeoffs adopted by the City of Burbank was  【40】______    declared illegal.
【39】
选项 A、order
B、ordinance
C、constitution
D、regulations
答案B
解析 本题考查近义词辨析。这句的意思是：伯班克市采取的禁止夜间起降这一法令，作为一个地方性规定，因此被宣布是不合法的。第二段中提到了伯班克市采取了一项法令，表示法令用的是ordinance这个词，同样当文末再次谈到这一法令时，使用的还是ordinance这个词。 regulation也指法规，只是一种规章制度，并无法律效应，ordinance是由立法机构颁布的法令，具有法律效应。因此ordinance是最恰当的选项。
