D:It placed Winfrey at the top of its annual ranking of the 100 people last week. E:The couple had been tight-lipped about their break-up. F: But it also looks at the celebrity's presence on the Internet and in the media.

答案 D

解析前一句讲奥普拉·温弗瑞是最有影响力的名人，接下来我们可以期望作者给出理由。这一句的前半句提到《福布斯》排行榜，后半句应该是有关温弗瑞在榜上的排名。所以选D。从文章结构和内容看，《福布斯》排行榜主要以年度收入来排名，同时还有其他标准，所有选项中只有F项在内容上和结构上（but also...）正确连接了上下文。从前面内容看，该句的意思是一个转折，即夫妇俩在节目中分别宣布他们离婚的消息，但此前却对这一消息保密。该段讲温弗瑞的生平，从时间顺序看，应该是她从事播音事业的开始，所以选C。前面说Winfrey's work has extended to social change，很显然，A项提到的内容也属于一种social work。
