　　正确答案：C

　　解析：题目问如果非洲裔美国人的报纸上有更多广告，会出现怎样的结果。A选项错误，原文说到这些报纸缺少广告收入，所以不得不多印体育新闻和社会新闻来提升发行量，言下之意如果有更多广告就不会这样，排除A;原文第三句提到因为缺乏广告收入，非裔美国人的报纸价格比一般日报价格高，但有广告收入后是否会比大型全国性日报便宜，无法确定，所以B选项错误;C选项正确，原文第四句说到正是因为不受广告商青睐，，言下之意如果有广告了，就要顾及广告商的意识形态。

　　填空题目及解析

　　The figure-skating pair’s convincing victory last week was particularly (i) _________ to their rivals, who were in peak form and complained privately about the judging. That the pair won when their rivals were (ii) _________ too is also impressive.

　　【答案】BD

　　【翻译】这对花样滑冰选手上周绝对的胜利尤其(i) _________他们的对手，处于巅峰状态的对手私下里曾抱怨过比赛的裁决。而这对花样滑冰选手在竞争对手也是(ii) _________时获胜也令人印象深刻。

　　【解析】句中的figure-skating意为“花样滑冰”。第1句中who引导的定语从句修饰their rivals，表达了两重信息：他们的对手处于巅峰状态，实力强大;他们的对手对比赛的裁决不满。这也分别是解答空1和空2的依据。空1处应填入表明他们的对手不满的词，选项A. unsurprising(不足为奇的)，B. irksome(恼人的)，C. gratifying(使满意)中，只有B符合条件。

　　第2句中的when their rivals were (ii) _________ too的依据在于who were in peak form，因此，空2处应填入与in peak form意义相关的词。选项D. terrific(极棒的)，E. nervous(紧张的)，F. inconsistent(时好时坏的)中，只有D符合条件，故为答案。
