关于21题正确答案本不存在什么“争论”，因为公布答案的大部分机构几乎都清一色选了B。由于迦思佑公布的阅读答案认为21题是选择D。从而引起了很大的争论。

21. It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that ____

A. arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.

B. English-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews.

C. high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers.

D. young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies.

迦思佑立场：21题的题干问的是在第一段和第二段中指出了什么样的信息。很明显，答案肯定是第一段和第二段完全读完后才能确定答案。从这个角度来讲，B选项的可能性就已经很小了。因为B完全是根据第一段内容选出来的。第一二段如下：

Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.

It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticismpublished in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews.To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.

这道题难在第二段的第一句话，即It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers.这句话几乎把所有考生都读晕了。但接下来用了个Yet转折词，后边的大致含义就是20世纪出版的评论集内容的很大一部分就是报纸评论。今天去读这种评论集就惊奇这样一个事实，即评论集的博学内容曾经被认为是适合在日报上发表的。答案的出处很明显，肯定在yet之后。与此部分相关的选项只有D，并且把第二段的第一句话中的under age of forty替换为young。所以确定无疑是选D。

为什么不选B？B的含义是对的，但不是正确答案。若题干为从第一段中能得出什么，那就肯定是选B了。但题干问的是第一段和第二段中的含义是什么。所以不能选B。
