D、 citizens will need to learn how to evaluate visual political images in order to become better informed.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查段落大意。回答这道问题需要仔细研读第四段，找出主题句，并且尤其要注意信息词however之后的句子，“However，in a world in which politics is increasingly visual，informed citizenship requires a new set of skills．(在一个政治日趋视觉化的世界里，了解情况的公民需要一套新的技巧。)”他们需要这种技巧的原因，在段首已有交代，“…speaking through it required a changed political style that was more conversational，personal，and visual than that of the old-style stump speech． (通过电视演讲要求比老式政治演讲更多变的政治风格，即要更加口语化、个人化和视觉化)”，面对这些变化，答案[D]“citizens will need to learn how to evaluate visual political images in order to become better informed(公民需要学会如何评价视觉上的政治形象以获得更多的信息)”是正确的。
