It will not be possible to implicate melting sea ice in the coastal flooding that many global warming models have projected: just like a glass of water that will not overflow due to melting ice cubes, so melting sea ice does not increase oceanic volume.


like a glass of water that will not overflow due to melting ice cubes,

like melting ice cubes that do not cause a glass of water to overflow,

a glass of water will not overflow because of melting ice cubes,

as melting ice cubes that do not cause a glass of water to overflow,

as melting ice cubes do not cause a glass of water to overflow,

考题讲解

题目分析:
本题实际上只需要记住一个固定搭配即可完全解决:just as A do B, (so) C do D,意为:就像A做了B那样,C也做了D。

选项分析:

A选项:如果句首是just like,那么主句身前不应该再加连词so,否则会使整个句子缺少谓语动词。

B选项:just like错误同(A)。

C选项:本选项句首只有just,没有as,这会使得两个句子之间不再是类比关系,而是因果关系了(由于just本身不是连词,所以整个句子变成了A do B, so C do D)。但在逻辑上,“融化冰块不会让水溢出”和“融化海洋里的冰也不会让海水体积增大”是类比关系。

D选项:
just as身后在语法上应该是完整的句子,而不是动名词短语melting ice cubes(它的身后是定语从句了)。

E选项:
Correct. 本选项在语法上和逻辑上均没有问题。
