参考答案

正确答案：B
问题句说“肥皂剧有助于巴西降低人口增长，其原因是…”。从句意来看，该问题与文章中具体细节相关，属于细节题。利用问题句中的细节信息词Soapoperas作为答案线索，在文章中查找答案相关句：Martineputsitdownto，amongotherthings，soapoperas(通俗电视连续剧)andinstallment(分期付款)plansintroducedinthe1970s．Bothplayedanimportant，ahhoughindirect，roleinloweringthebirthrate．Brazilisoneoftheworld’sbiggestproducersofsoapoperas．Global．Brazil’smostpopulartelevisionnetworkshowsthreehours0fsoapssixnightsaweek，whilethreeothersshowatleastonehouranight．Mostsoapoperasarebased0nwealthycharacterslivingthehighlifeinbigcities．Althoughthey(指代soapoperas)haveneverreallytriedtoworkinamassagetowardstheproblemsofreproduction,theydescribemiddleandupperclassvalues-notmanychildren,differentattitudestowardsex,womenworking,sayMartine.”They(指代soapoperas)sentthisimagetoallpartsofBrazilandmadepeopleconsciousofotherpatternsofbehavior.andothervalues,whichwereputintoaveryattractivepackage．划线句是直接答案相关句，这两个句子说“尽管这些肥皂剧从来无意干涉人口繁殖，它们只是描写了中上层阶级的生活价值观一少生孩子，独特的性别观念，妇女在外工作。肥皂剧传播着这些信息，使人们逐渐认识，理解了另一种生活方式，人生观。这种生活方式，人生观对他们极有吸引力。”因此B是答案。
