Yet the popular papers seem largely【C7】______ for entertainment. Their news coverage contains【C8】______ comment and persuasive language. The quality newspapers【C9】______ a much higher value on information and a much【C10】______ one on entertainment.

【C16】
选项 A、points
B、means
C、decides
D、tells
答案B
解析 this指代上文中的“Their reporters tend to use shorter sentences and avoid less well-known vocabulary．”一句，而that引导的宾语从句则是对上一句话的进一步的解释和说明，因此选动词mean，该动词在此作“意味着，意思是”讲，例如：Whenever people say that sort of thing，you know they don’t mean it.每当人们谈到那种事情时，你要知道他们并不当真。
