问题 What do both sides need to do now in order to set up Sony BMG formally? [br]  
Sony and Bertelsmann AG have agreed to merge their music units. It’s a deal that puts hot icons, like Britney Spears—heard here—and Beyonce under the same label in a combination first announced on November 6. Now the agreement has been finalized. The only step left here: antitrust regulators have to give their final approval. The new combined music company, known as Sony BMG, will be based in New York City. It comes as the music industry faces continual challenges for the fourth straight year, from piracy to falling music sales. The London-based market-research company Informa Group says it looked for another decline in recorded music sales in the year 2004 to the tune of 8.9 percent. That means mat the contracting music industry could have less than $28 billion in sales when all is said and done.

选项 A、Sony BMG wants to absorb more hot icons in the music field.
B、Sony BMG will fight against other music companies.
C、Sony BMG will deal with the falling music sale.
D、Sony BMG can eliminate the problem of piracy.

答案 C

解析 推理判断题。本题正确的答案应该是C项。因为新闻中谈到“在音乐行业连续第4个年头遭受严峻考验——盗版严重以及音乐制品销售下跌的时候,它应运而生”,所以新公司的任务之一就是要想办法扭转销售量下降的趋势,C是合理的推断。迷惑性最大的是D项,eliminate的意思是“消灭或根除”,完全消灭盗版现在还是不切实际的,因此D不正确。
