Katherine Gram graduated from the University of Chicago in 1938 and got a job as a news reporter in San Francisco. Katherine’s father used to be a successful investment banker. In 1933, he bought a failing newspaper, The Washington Post.
Then Katherine returned to Washington and got a job, editing letters in her father’s newspaper. She married Philip Gram, who took over his father-in-law’s position shortly after and became publisher of The Washington Post. But for many years, her husband suffered from mental illness and he killed himself in 1963.
After her husband’s death, Katharine operated the newspaper. In the 1970s, the newspaper became famous around the world and Katharine was also recognized as an important leader in newspaper publishing. She was the first woman to head a major American publishing company, The Washington Post Company. In a few years, she successfully expanded the company to include newspaper, magazine, broadcast and cable companies.
She died of head injuries after a fall when she was 84. More than 3,000 people attended her funeral including many government and business leaders. Her friends said she would be remembered as a woman who had an important influence on events in the United States and the world. Katharine once wrote, "The world without newspapers would not be the same kind of world". After her death, the employees of the Washington Post wrote, "The world without Katharine would not be the same at all."
选项
A、People came to see the role of women in the business world.
B、Katharine played a major part in reshaping Americans’ mind.
C、American media would be quite different without Katharine.
D、Katharine had exerted an important influence on the world.
答案
D
解析
What does the comment by employees of the Washington Post suggest?
本题问“《华盛顿邮报》的员工对她的评价表明了什么?”文中提到,凯瑟琳曾写道:“没有报纸的世界将会大不一样”,而她的员工在她去世后写道:“没有凯瑟琳的世界将会大不一样。”意思是说,凯瑟琳对美国和世界的意义重大。因此[D]“凯瑟琳对世界发挥了重要的影响”正确。
