参考答案【正确答案：A】
A. 拥有自己的特色是现在报纸的一个重要特征；B. 完整性是报纸失败的原因；C. 国外部在报纸业中起关键作用；D. 读者对汽车和影评失去了兴趣
最后一段首句“...but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspapers are least distinctive. （报社中最不具特色的部门损失惨重）”，说明现在的报纸要有自己的特色，因此A为正确答案。
文中completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business（完整性已不再是报业的一种优秀品质），因此排除B选项。Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.（国外部被无情的精减）说明国外部不重要，C与文章相反。Car and film reviewers have gone（汽车和电影评论员黯然离开）只说明这两种报纸的消失，无法推论出读者对它的兴趣减少。
