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 pragrammes and films for an annual licence fee of 83 pounds 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 programmes 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 theBBC-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 wordTDroke’, 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—TV 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 .
The world famous BBC now faces______.

B、an uncertain prospect
C、inquiries by the general public
D、shrinkage of audience
答案
B
解析
从文章第一段的内容可知,随着BBC(英国广播公司)国际电视服务节目的开播,亚洲和美洲数以百万计的人不仅可以收听还可以收看到该公司新闻报道,据此可知A项的“新闻报导范围的问题”和D项“观众人数的减少”不是BBC现在面临的问题。C项不正确,文中第四段提到了“调查、质询”,但那是政府为了解普通大众的意见所采取的行动,并不是BBC现在面临的问题。从文章第三段的内容可知,不过,如今的BBC前途悬而未决。据此可知,现在的:BBC前途不确定。B项的“不确定的前途”与文中的“the BBC’s future is now
