问题 The phrase "whistle blower" (Last line, Paragraph 3) probably means ______.
By mentioning the 9.11 terrorist attack in Paragraph 5, the author intends to ______.

选项 A、discuss the changes of Washington’s cultural life in Bush’s administration.
B、indicate that Washington’s intellectual life is more developed than elsewhere.
C、highlight the question of American global strategy in the national debate.
D、draw a Comparison between American universities and Washington.

答案B

解析 为篇章结构题。举9.11事件为例,是为了说明主题句(第5段第一句话)。9.11在美国国内掀起大规模的辩论,在其他城市都是向liberals一边倒的态势,只有在华盛顿等少数几座城市出现针对 liberals和conservatives理性分析的情况。这说明华盛顿的intellectual life高度发达,故选B。本段并非谈论布什执政期间文化生活的改变,排除A。也不是介绍华盛顿的政治决策;与大学进行比较也是证明主题的例子之一,排除C和D。
