It happened in the late fall of 1939 when, after a Nazi submarine had penetrated the British sea defense around the Firth of Forth and damaged a British cruiser, Reston and a colleague contrived to get the news past British censorship. They cabled a series of seemingly harmless sentences to The Times’s editors in New York, having first sent a message instructing the editors to regard only the last word of each sentence. Thus they were able to convey enough words to spell out the story. The fact that the news of the submarine attack was printed in New York before it had appeared in the British press sparked a big controversy that led to an investigation by Scotland Yard and British Military Intelligence. But it took the investigators eight weeks to decipher The Times’s reporters’ code, an embarrassingly slow bit of detective work, and when it was finally solved the incident had given the story very prominent play, later expressed dismay that the reporters had risked so much for so little. And the incident left Reston deeply distressed. It was so out of character for him to have. become involved in such a thing. The tactics were questionable and, though the United States was not yet in the war, Britain was already established as America’s close ally and breaking British censorship seemed both an irresponsible and unpatriotic thing to do. [br] It was clear that British censorship rules had been broken because the story was ______.
选项
A、first published in New York
B、published nowhere but in The Times
C、uncomplimentary to the Bristish
D、much fuller in its Times version than elsewhere
答案
A
解析
显然,英国的审查制度终被打破,因为报道首先在纽约发表。文章开头说,雷斯顿和一名同事设法通过英国的审查得到了纳粹潜水艇破坏英国巡洋舰的消息。通过下文,我们可以了解到该消息在纽约抢先发表。
