问题 No country in the world has more daily newspapers 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 have 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 or Le Monde is 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 themselvesto state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the " sensational" , which feature crime , sex and rumor, 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 television.
Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily news papers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different 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 bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War. [br] There are fewer national newspapers in______.

选项 A、Britain than in the USA
B、France than in Britain
C、the USA than in Britain or France
D、France than in the USA or Britain

答案 C

解析细节题。根据文章第二段可知，每个美国城市都有自己的日报，尽管像《华盛顿邮报》和《纽约时报》这样的报纸在美国乃至全世界都很有影响力，但它们依然不属于全国性报纸，选项C(美国的全国性报纸比英国和法国的少)符合题意，故本题选C。
