问题     No country in the world has more daily newspaper than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times exert a powerful influence all over the country. However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that the Times is in Britain of le Monde in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
    Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and gossip, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the lure of television.
    Just as American newspapers cater for all tastes, so do they also try and appeal to readers of ail political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of differing political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
    As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.
From the last paragraph, we many conclude that ______.
选项 A、Americas is a democratic country
B、Americas newspapers are responsible
C、the American press has a good reputation
D、the Watergate Affair has been exposed
答案C
解析 本题为推理题。文章最后一段指出：像其他民主主义国家一样，美国的报界为美国社会提供了很好的服务，它曾多次揭露政治丑闻和犯罪，而且引起了美国公众对越南战争的关注。因此推断C为正确答案。
