答案解析
【定位】根据题干中的“self-scrutiny”将本题出处定位于第2段第l句。
【解析】B。文章第2段指出,电影制片商们对大众娱乐的品位进行自我反省(self-scrutiny.,很可能是一个暂时的现象,因为正如业界许多人士承认的那样,目前他们不知道观众的口味和对暴力电影的容忍度有多少(where boundaries of taste and consumer tolerance now lie)。与前文的Fearful of offending audiences in the wake of the terrorist attack这个原因相照应。正是因为不知道观众们目前希望看什么样的电影,害怕暴力电影在这个特殊时刻激怒观众,才不敢贸然制作,因此制片商们才对此进行自我反省,故答案为B。A制片商们的目的是“阻止自己回到制作暴力电影的老路上去”与文章中的讲述相反,故排除。C认为制片商这么做是因为“想为观众们制作出不充斥暴力内容的影片”不确切,因为第l段中指出,制片商们只是推迟发行恐怖主题电影(postponed the release of films with terrorist themes),而不是停止制作此类电影,故排除C。选项D内容在文中并未提及,故也排除。
