Struggling 【C3】______ an evaporation of advertising and a downward drift in street corner sales, The New York Times 【C4】______ to introduce a "metered" model at the beginning of 2011. Readers will be required to pay when they have 【C5】______ a set number of its online articles per month.
The decision puts the 159-year-old newspaper 【C6】______ the charging side of an increasingly wide chasm in the media industry.

选项
A、reliable
B、free
C、applicable
D、easy
答案
B
解析
考查形容词辨析。本题和第7题出现在同一个句子,表达的意思一致,上文提到《卫报》不向网上用户收费,由此推测,这里应该说的是“诸如《标准晚报》类的报刊在放弃读者收入方面甚至更进一步,将他们的打印版也免费”,故B.free为正确答案。reliable“可靠的”;applicable“适当的,可应用的”;easy“容易的”,均不符合题意。
