"This is a really exciting time—a new era is starting," says Peter Bazalgette, the chief creative officer of Endemol, the television company behind "Big Brother" and other popular shows. He is referring to the upsurge of interest in mobile television, a
nascent
industry at the intersection of telecoms and media which offers new opportunities to device-makers, content producers and mobile- network operators. And he is far from alone in his enthusiasm.
Already, many mobile operators offer a selection of television channels or individual shows, which are " streamed" across their third-generation (3G) networks. In South Korea, television is also sent to mobile phones via satellite and terrestrial broadcast networks, which is far more efficient than sending video across mobile networks; similar broadcasts will begin in Japan in April. In Europe, the Italian arm of 3, a mobile operator, recently acquired Canale 7, a television channel, with a view to launching mobile-TV broadcasts in Italy in the second half of 2006. Similar mobile-TV networks will also be built in Finland and America, and are being tested in many other countries.
Meanwhile, Apple Computer, which launched a video-capable version of its iPod portable music-player in October, is striking deals with television networks to expand the range of shows that can be purchased for viewing on the
device
, including "Lost", "Desperate Housewives" and "Law & Order". TiVo, maker of the pioneering personal video recorder (PVR), says it plans to enable subscribers to download recorded shows on to iPods and other portable devices for viewing on the move. And mobile TV was one of the big trends at the world’s largest technology fair, the Consumer Electronics Show, which took place in Las Vegas this week.
Despite all this activity, however, the prospects for mobile TV are unclear. For a start, nobody really knows if consumers will pay for it, though surveys suggest they like the idea. Informa, a consultancy, says there will be 125 million mobile-TV users by 2010. But many other mobile technologies inspired high hopes and then failed to live up to expectations. And even if people do want TV on the move, there is further uncertainty in three areas: technology, business models and the content itself.
The word "nascent" in the first paragraph of the text most probably means______.
选项
A、distinctive
B、statutory
C、naive
D、emerging
答案
D
解析
这是一道词汇题,测试考生准确理解原文词语的能力。第一段第二句中的“nascent”一词的含义是“诞生中的,刚开始存在的,初生的,新生的”,故本题的正确选项应该是D“emerging”(浮现的,出现的,兴起的,露头的)。考生在阅读时遇到了陌生的词语,可以根据上下文或中心主旨去推断,例如破解本题“nascent”一词之意时可以根据首段第一句中的“anew era is starting”(一个新的时代正在开始)进行推断。
