【B10】
选项 A、storm
B、rage
C、flare
D、flash
答案A
解析 考查名词辨析。此处短语是a______of，修饰media protest，描述了媒体抗议的程度。从文意来看，应是“(引起了)一片(媒体的抗议)”，因此选A．storm。a storm of“暴风雨般的”，表示程度。rage“暴怒，大怒”，搭配为a rage，如：be in a rage，fly into a rage(勃然大怒)；a flare of“一阵…”，不和media protest搭配；flash表示突然闪现的东西，如：a flash of hope(一线希望)，a flash of wit(灵光一现)等。
