问题     The "Hard Out Here" video has racked up(获胜)over 27 millions views to date on YouTube. But the market for a pop star making clever, difficult songs is narrow, and Allen’s commercial prospects , at least in the U.S., aren’t as promising as they were eight years ago. Without the mass-market distribution channel of radio behind her, it’s tougher to get the message across. If Allen had it her way, she says, "Hard Out Here" would have been released to radio. "I think I’m justified in saying it would have made a hit," she says. " Radio stations don’t want to play any music that has a message. Everyone’s worried they’re going to get fired. If they had, they would have seen a triumph. "
    Even though Allen uses top-notch producers—aside from Kurstin, the album makes use of hip-hop producer DJ Dahi and Shellback—her sensibilities are too English for superstar like that of Be-yonce, who released her own feminist song.
    It’s easy to dismiss Allen as the perpetual trash talker, criticizing the popular girls even as she aspires to be one of them, and yet there’s real value in her social message and the wit with which she dispenses it. Allen may not be the most famous among her peers, but she’s one of the more important—a cultural critic embedded within pop music, saying the things that her contemporaries won’t.
    "I change with the way the world changes," Allen says. "My music is always social commentary. I don’t know what the world is going to be like in five years’ time, but as long as I’m not ashamed of what I’m putting out, then I’m happy. "
Which of the following can best describe Allen?
选项 A、A famous pop singer.
B、A feminist pop singer.
C、A perpetual trash talker.
D、A pop star and a cultural critic.
答案D
解析 根据文章设置题目的顺序和规律，我们推断第四题设置在第三段。[A]：该段第三行提到：Allen may not be the most famous among her peers．我们本身知道Allen是一位流行歌手，而文章说了她并不是最有名的，虽然不能说明她没有一点名气，但流行歌手并不是最能描述Allen身份的词语。[B]：该选项的feminist本段并未提及，文章第二段提到feminist一词，但是是在描述Beyonce而非Allen，故选项[B]错误。[C]：该段首句说It’s easy to dismiss Allen asthe perpetual trash talker，因此该项很容易被误选，但后面出现了yet一词进行转折，说明对于Allen的真实评价并非在yet之前，而是之后，故该选项也是错误的。[D]：yet后面的内容为：yet there’s real value in her social message and the wit with which she dispenses it．Allen may not bethe most famous among her peers，but she’s one of the more important--a cultural critic embeddedwithin pop music…浏览完这几个句子我们发现重要信息出现在but之后，也是在破折号之后的a cultural critic embedded within pop music，其中对Allen的定义有两个，一是cultural critic，一是pop music，故选项[D]为答案。
