问题     The "Hard Out Here" video has racked up(获胜)over 27 millions views to date on YouTube. But the market for a pop star making clever, difficult songs is narrow, and Allen’s commercial prospects , at least in the U.S., aren’t as promising as they were eight years ago. Without the mass-market distribution channel of radio behind her, it’s tougher to get the message across. If Allen had it her way, she says, "Hard Out Here" would have been released to radio. "I think I’m justified in saying it would have made a hit," she says. " Radio stations don’t want to play any music that has a message. Everyone’s worried they’re going to get fired. If they had, they would have seen a triumph. "
    Even though Allen uses top-notch producers—aside from Kurstin, the album makes use of hip-hop producer DJ Dahi and Shellback—her sensibilities are too English for superstar like that of Be-yonce, who released her own feminist song.
    It’s easy to dismiss Allen as the perpetual trash talker, criticizing the popular girls even as she aspires to be one of them, and yet there’s real value in her social message and the wit with which she dispenses it. Allen may not be the most famous among her peers, but she’s one of the more important—a cultural critic embedded within pop music, saying the things that her contemporaries won’t.
    "I change with the way the world changes," Allen says. "My music is always social commentary. I don’t know what the world is going to be like in five years’ time, but as long as I’m not ashamed of what I’m putting out, then I’m happy. "
Allen’s commercial expectations are not so promising as before because______.
选项 A、too few people appreciate her music
B、the mass’s taste on music has changed
C、radio stations don’t want to play her music
D、the market is not wide for a singer like her
答案D
解析 根据Allen’s，commercial expectations，promising这些词定位到第一段第二句：Butthe market for a pop star making clever，difficult songs is narrow，and Allen’s commercial prospects，at least in the U．S．，aren’t as promising as they were eight years ago．本句话表明了Allen的前景没有以前那么光明的原因，是市场太小，与选项[D]表述相同。其中narrow被替换成了notwide。而[A]和[B]两项文章均未涉及，属于无中生有。选项[C]虽然在文章倒数第三句提到了，但和Allen前景不那么光明并无直接因果关系。
