问题     No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Time is in Britain or LeMonde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
    Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the sensational, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world evens.  (80) But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television. Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also appeal to readers of all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
    As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, such as the Watergate Affair. The newspapers also drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.
选项 A、Britain than in the USA
B、France than in Britain
C、the USA than in Britain or France
D、France than in the USA or Britain
答案A
解析 细节题。文章第一段只有法国的报纸数量并未提及。而B、C、D三个答案里均拿法国与其他国家相比，自然是无法比较。因此答案为A选项。
