解析:细节题。题干要求考生回答第二段第二句的“it”的指代对象。按照代词指代关系中的临近一致原则和上下文的含义,此应该指代它前面的“非正式(日常)的信息流通被切断”这句话,而B)选项正是对这句话的改写。“informal information channel”对应“the informal flow of information”;“break down”对应“cut off”。[避错] A)、C)和D)三个选项表达的内容近似,如果它们中的一个正确,那么原句中的“with it the confidence...”意思就成了人口的流动使人们更有信心。这与第二段表达的内容不符,故排除这三项。
