  • 正确答案:A
    篇章结构题。浏览全文可以看出第二至十段中含有许多委婉语的例子。第三段简单介绍美国式委婉语,而第四至六段分析英国式委婉语的特点。选项[A]出现在第二段末句“Aeuphemismisakindoflie,andtheliespeoplesandcountriestellthemselvesarerevealing.”根据英文的篇章结构特点可知,通常都是作者先表达观点,然后通过例证、引证等方法对观点加以说明,在第十段末句出现了“Euphemismsmaybeaspeciesoflie,butsomeofthemarewhite.”,这是典型的篇章上的首尾呼应,可见[A]为答案。
