本题考查推理引申。最后一段主要围绕杰克·林德萨写作态度的变化展开论述。该段指出：战后，他的写作题材转向现代，但一度留于说教（didacticism），后来终于再次转变，开始认为社会问题的解决办法不再依靠政党。他赋予作品主人公的仅仅是一种政治觉悟，除此之外什么也没有了。文章最后引用了他小说中主人公的一番话，该主人公带着绝望的语气说道：“什么都得改，这样的生活我再也过不下去了，但是我该如何改变这一切呢？”引文之后，文章又总结到，杰克·林德萨作为一名艺术家，不再给出问题的具体答案。故［D］项是写作目的。［B］、［C］项太笼统，全文都是关于杰克·林德萨的评论，都是作者看待他的观点。［A］项文中未涉及。
