The speaker indicates that the dramatic critic is ______.
A.inclined to be objective
B.conditioned by certain requirements of his column
C.happy to oblige the backers of plays
D.suspicious of criticism directed against him
参考答案:B
解析:[听力原文]The dramatic critic, on the other hand, has no such advantage. He cannot be selective; he must cover everything that is offered for public scrutiny in the principal playhouse of the city where he works. The column space that seemed, yesterday, so pitifully inadequate to contain his comments on Long Day’s Journey Into Night is roughly the same as that which yawns today for his verdict on the latest scrap of milk-fed Kitsch that has chanced to find for itself a numbskull backer with a hundred thousand dollars to lose.
[分析]: 观点态度题。 首先原文提出He cannot be selective;he must cover everything that is offered for public scrutiny in the principal playhouse of the city where he works即戏剧评论家没有选择的余地,需要就所有该城市主要票房作品作出评论,以飨公众。又根据原文The column space that seemed,yesterday,so pitifully inadequate to column his comments on Long Day’s Journey Into Night is roughly the same as that which yawns today for his verdict on the latest scrap of milk-fed Kitsch...,即昨天他们对Long Day’s Journey Into Night的评论洋洋洒洒,今天也得为一部俗不可耐的作品长篇大论。综上所述,可推测戏剧评论家们得受其专栏的某些要求的限制。[解题关键] 能够从某些词语的内涵中探察作者的观点态度。
