这个题的关键在于理解reasoning contends和reasoning’s contention ：意思是“这个推理认为……” 整个题目的内容就是一个reasoning，这个reasoning contends了一个contention，即Critics的观点证据不足（This evidence is far from adequate），并且给出了原因（since over the last decade a substantial number of new industrial facilities that emit these pollutants have been built）。 我们看一下正确选项D 前半部分 The first is a position that the reasoning contends is inadequately supported by the evidence 分解意思应该为： 1、The first is a position 2、the reasoning contends that the first position is inadequately supported by the evidence 后半部分 the second is evidence used to support the reasoning’s contention. reasoning’s contention指的是整个reasoning的观点：This evidence is far from adequate 如果reasoning contends和reasoning’s contention都明确了意思，就清楚多了。
