The BBC has long dominated Britain’s media, and in recent years it has got even bigger. Many local newspapers are dying. The technological change that has caused other media outlets to【C1】______has given the BBC new scope for expansion. It has a huge online presence and an increase of digital television channels and radio stations. With a(n)【C2】______of around 23,000, it is the largest broadcaster in the world.
The BBC makes good use of some of this money. Its documentaries, serious radio output (such as "Today" ) and website are excellent. Although polls show trust in it is【C3】______, the BBC remains respected around the world and is a handy tool for projecting British interests.
The BBC’s size, as Mr. Entwistle【C4】______out, is a problem not just for the competition but for the organization itself. Its full management means that those at the top do not know what’s going on at the【C5】______, and affects creativity. Few of its dramas or comedies are world-beaters. Even in news, recent big stories, such as phone-hacking and MPs’ expenses, have been exposed by other【C6】______ newspapers, not the powerful state-backed organization. Editors should edit— and be responsible for it—not report to compliance officers.
BBC needs a set of fixes quickly. One useful change would be to【C7】______the job of director-general into those of chief executive and editor-in-chief. The first would be a manager, charged with making the organization more efficient; the second would be a journalist,【C8】______with producing accurate, hard-hitting stories and refocusing the output on quality.
Britons are 【C9】______resistant to radical ideas. As the 20th century showed, that is, by and large, a good thing. The danger, though, is that 【C10】______organizations wither and die. The media business is one of Britain’s strengths. If it is to stay that way, the BBC needs to change.
A. staff B. naturally C. residents D. unreformed
E. shrink F. foundation G. charged H. pointed
I. modest J. bottom K. decrease L. declining
M. split N. impoverished O. definitely
【C1】
选项
答案
E
解析
shrink,词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入动词原形。可选范围有“shrink,decrease,split”。该段首句说明现象:BBC长期主宰英国媒体且规模日益壮大,而地方性报刊却奄奄一息。后句便解释了原因,关键词是“技术的革新”,由此可推断其他媒体机构(other media outlets)在技术革新中萎缩而使BBC在更大的范围内扩张(has given the BBC new scope for expansion),可排除split,而decrease强调数值上的下降,shrink则是规模上的缩小,故锁定shrink。
