With the start of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America can now watch the Corporation’s news coverage, as well as listen to it. And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio station. They are brought sport, comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, children’s programs and films for an annual license fee of £83 per household.
It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years—yet the BBC’s future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programs are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.
The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC—including ordinary listeners and viewers—to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC’s royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is, or to make changes.
Defenders of the Corporation—of whom there are many—are fond of quoting the American slogan.
"If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it."
The BBC "ain’t broke", they say, by which they mean it is not broken (as distinct from the word "broke", meaning having no money) ,so why bother to change it?
Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels—ITV and Channel 4—were required by the Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’ subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.
Which of the following is not true according to the last paragraph?
选项
A、The Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act was required to become more commercial.
B、The arrival of new satellite channels is the foremost reason for BBC’s change.
C、The dynamic broadcasting world is one of the reasons leading to BBC’s change.
D、The commercial TV channels are becoming more commercial.
答案
A
解析
选项A对应最后一段的第二句话,这句话说的是The commercial TV channels被The Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act要求变得更加商业化,也就是说被要求的对象是The commercial TV channels,而不是The Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act。因此A不对,而D是正确的。选项B对应最后一句,这句话说The arrival of new satellite channels带来了最大的变化,那也就是说The arrival of new satellite channels是BBC变化最主要的原因。选项C是对最后一段第一句的同义替换,在这里dynamic是“动态的”的意思,对应文章中的“changing”。
