参考答案及解析：

1.答案为D。此题是同义辨析题。

尽管hit,beat,pound 和strike都有“打击”意。但文中，striking为interesting and unusual enough to attract attention的比喻义。因而选项A、B 和C应排除。选项D的attracting为正确答案。

2.答案为D。第1段的描述表明A、B、C均应排除。

第1段亦提到“最感人之处是……一片静谧”，也即“罗宾逊宣读颂辞和追思继续进行之间的那段空白”。故D正确。

3.答案为A。此题为细节推断题。

第8段说“有关杰克逊报道的收视率颇高，这正清楚地说明并非所有人都觉得报道太多了”。选项B说“几乎所有的人都认为报道够了”；选项C说“每个人都认为报道太多了”；选项D说“没有人认为报道不够”。以上3项均与题意不符，应排除。选项A为正确答案。

4.答案为C。此题是判断题。

选项A说“杰克逊是媒体追求效应的受害者”，第5段表明这是“一些人的讲话”；选项B说“怪的是杰克逊得应付的那些事”，第5段表明这是“夏普顿牧师对杰克逊的孩子们说的话”；选项D说“媒体在娈童案里揪住他不放”，但作者表明“上述判断……人们完全可以辩论”；说明选项A，B和D都应排除。而第6段里，作者说“杰克逊死后对媒体的作用跟他生前一样：能无限地吸引观众”，与选项C一致，C是正确答案。

5.答案为D。此题为判断题。

选项A说“追思会不是做客观评价的恰当场合”；选项B说“在追思会上，致哀者太悲伤而不能做客观评价”；选项C说“https://www.51lunwen.org/englishpaper.html在追思会上人们由于媒体干扰而不能做出客观评价”；以上3项都与原义不符，应排除。选项D说“追思会不是人们做出客观评价的良好方式”，是正确答案。
