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. "
The underlined sentence "it would have made a hit"(Para 1, Line 6)is closest to______.

选项 A、it would have had a tremendous impact
B、it would have been a great success
C、it would have suffered a great loss
D、it would have shocked many people

答案B

解析 语义题应该通过在背景中寻找同义替换信息来获取答案。原文提到:“I think I’mjustified in saying it would have made a hit,”she says.“Radio stations don’t want to play any musicthat has a message.Everyone’s worried they’re going to get fired.If they had,they would have seena triumph.”其中最后一句话提到If they had,they would have seen a triumph.从时态和句子结构上来讲,该句和it would have made a hit是非常接近的,由此可以推断出make a hit对应tri—umph,也对应选项[B]中的success。故选项[B]为正确答案。
