关系，进一步做出表明或总结：广告是社会环境、文化环境、商业环境的一部分。

故D项为正确选项。

14、[P6]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：首先，本句缺失句位于该篇文章的最后一段的段首，其作用可以假设

为作为总结段的总结句，起总结全文的作用，也可以假设为概括总结段的内容，起

统领总结段的作用。纵观本段其他句子的含义，可以得出，除第二句也为总结性的

句子(其意为“广告商们……”)以外，其后面的句子，无论是有关“制造商

(manufacturers)"、''媒体(themedia)”的论述,还是有关''听众(audiences广或''消费者

(consumers)”的论述，都是在用不同的公众群体作为例证来支持这一个句子，而从

时态上也一改本文一直使用的一般现在时，而全部采取了现在进行式。而E项则

不仅实现了在时态上的呼应，而且在意义上实现更加强调这么一个“日益变化的

(changing)”状态。故E项为正确选项。
