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 author’s attitude towards Allen is______.
选项 A、affirmative
B、negative
C、scornful
D、doubtful
答案A
解析 文章最后一段都在引用Allen说的话，作者的观点还是体现在第三段。我们在寻找作者的观点态度的时候，需要特别注意转折和虚拟处，其中有两处最为关键:．．．and yetthere’s real value in her social message；…but she’s one of the more important—a cultural criticembedded within pop music，saying the things that her contemporaries won’t．其中的real value，important等词都体现了作者对于Allen的态度是积极肯定的，而[B]、[C]和[D]三项都是否定选项，故很容易判断正确答案为选项[A]。
