问题     Despite the fact that advertisers spend $44 billion on the major television networks and cable TV advertising, a new study shows that consumers consider print ads more entertaining and less offensive than television commercials. The study, conducted by Video Storyboard Tests in New York, showed that more consumers considered print ads "artistic" and "enjoyable."
    The 2,000 consumers surveyed blasted TV ads compared to their print counterparts: 34 percent of respondents thought print ads were artistic, compared with 15 percent for television ads; 35 percent thought print ads were enjoyable, compared to 13 percent for television; and, most surprising, 33 percent of consumers felt print ads were entertaining, compared to only 18 percent for TV ads. Much of the artistic impact and positive reaction to print ads comes from the illustrations used. The illustration is primary in creating the mood for a print ad, which ultimately affects consumers’ feelings about the image of a brand.
    While the study’s sponsors were somewhat surprised by the survey results, some industry executives felt that print ads were finally getting the credit they deserve. Richard Kirshenbaum, chair and chief creative officer of Kirshenbaum, Bond & Partners, a New York advertising and public relations firm, is one such believer. In fact, Kirshenbaum says that when he looks to hire a new person for a creative position in his agency, "I always look at the print book first because I think it is harder to come up with a great idea on a single piece of paper."
    But impressed as consumers say they are by the aesthetics (美学) and style of print ads, television executives (as you might expect) dismiss the findings. One network official said, "Nothing will re-place the reach and magnitude of an elaborately produced television spot. TV ads get talked about. Print ads don’t."
What had the study’s organizers expected of the survey results?
选项 A、More consumers would prefer TV ads to print ads.
B、More consumers would prefer print ads to TV ads.
C、Both TV ads and print ads should have their fans.
D、Print ads should get the credit they deserve.
答案A
解析 推理判断题。第3段的首句中的the survey result指的是第1段和第2段的调查结果：平面广告比电视广告更受欢迎，而该句表明该项研究的组织者们预计的是与此调查相反的结果。因此选项A正确，也因此可否定选项B。根据同一句，选项D虽在文中出现但并非他们预料的结果，而是行业经理们的观点。选项C无依据。
