问题    Censorship(审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.
   Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set him- self up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modem censors are extremely liberal in their views—often tar more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being" works of art".
   When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk(大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a license to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate" artistic" with" pornographic" (色情的). So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting(腐蚀)the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if deprived itself of the wise counsel and the re- straining influence which a censor provides.
According to the writer, a society free from censorship______.
选项 A、could not develop its entertainment industry to the full
B、would become poorer both materially and spiritually
C、would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted
D、would allow only a small section of people to make profits
答案C
解析 文章最后。社会将会变得贫乏，主要是指精神方面。
