It happened in the late fall of 1939 when,after a Nazi submarine had penetrated the British sea de-fense around the Firth of Forth and damaged a British cruiser, Reston and a colleague contrived to get the news past British censorship. They cabled a series of seemingly harmless sentences to the Times editors in New York,having first sent a message instructing the editors to regard only the last word of each sen-tence. Thus they were able to convey enough words to spell out the story. The fact that the news of the submarine attack was printed in New York before it had appeared in the British press sparked a big con-troversy that led to an investigation by Scotland Yard and British Military Intelligence. But it took the inves-tigators eight weeks to decipher the Times reporters’ code, an embarrassingly slow bit of detective work,and when it was finally solved the incident had died and little was done about it. The Times editors in New York,though they had given the story very prominent play, later expressed dismay that the reporters had risked so much for so little; and the incident left Reston deeply distressed. It was so out of character for him to have become involved in such a thing. The tactics were questionable and,though the United States was not yet in the war,Britain was already established as America’s close ally and breaking British cen-sorship seemed both an irresponsible and unpatriotic thing to do.
It was clear that British censorship rules had been broken because the story was_____.
选项
A、first published in New York
B、published nowhere but in the Times
C、uncomplimentary to the British
D、much fuller in its times version than elsewhere
答案
A
解析
题目问:为什么说英国的检查规则已经被打破?第四句“The fact that the news of the submarineattack was printed in New York before it had appeared in the British press sparked a big controversythat led to an investigation by Scotland Yard and British Military Intelligence,”通过这段话可知,英国巡洋舰遭受德军重创的消息先在美国公布,而不是在英国。据此判断,应选择A。
