The Corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organisation, 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 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 organisation as it is, or to make changes. Defenders of the Corporat

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?

（BBC）已有70多年的光芒历程，然而，目前其前景不明（in doubt）。虽然（至少就目前而言）作为一个公办播送机构，播送公司将继续存在下去，但是，其作用、规模、节目成为目前英国举国上下争论的话题。第四段指出，这场争论是由政府发起的。政府要求普通听众和观众评论播送公司的优缺点-甚至于值不值得把它办下去（was worth keeping）。最后一段指出，播送公司也确实面临着新的挑战，它只有改变自己才能适应新的形势。 A意为：新闻报道（的范围）问题。 C意为：公众的质询。公众并未主动对播送公司的开展前景及状况评头论足，而是政府要求他们这样做的。 D意为：观（听）众的减少。 56. （C） 西域男孩mylove
意为：进一步进行国际合作的潜力。 最后一段指出，由于播送领域（broadcasting world）正在发生变化，英国播送公司也应改变自己，以适应新形势。撤切尔政府制定的播送法要求电视频道进一步商业化、搞广告竞争并削减开支与劳务。新电视频道的开播将带来长远的巨变。可见，这里并未提到国际合作问题。 A意为：将电视播送扩展到远东地区。第一段指出，随着英国播送公司国际电视节目的开播，数百万亚洲和美洲人不仅可以听到它的播送，还可以观看到它的电视新闻报道（news coverage）。文章最后一段还提到了卫星频道将会给播送公司带来最大的变化。 B意为：电视节目成为举国上下谈论的

remarks
the rang 1、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. [参考译文] 这场
争论是由政府发起的，政府请任何一个对英国播送公司有意见的人-包括普通的听众和观众-来说说这个好在哪里或坏在哪里，甚至要说说他们是否认为这个公司值得被保存下来。 [结构剖析] 这个句子的主干结构是 The debate was launched by the Government，使用了被动语态。后面 which 引导定语从句 which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC…修饰 government，定语从句中不定式 to say 后面是两个并列的宾语从句，一个由 what 引导，一个由 whether 引导，两局部用 and 连接，副词 even 表示进一步强调。另外两个破折号之间的局部属于插入成分，是用来进一步定义 anyone 的。anyone 后面的 with 介词词组也是用来修饰 anyone 的。 [阅读重点] 重点是要弄清楚后面定语从句，两个宾语从句，还有插入成分之间的层次关系。另外要注意 be worth doing 的用法，这一结构本身就可以表达被动含义，因而 the Corporation was worth keeping 就是英国播送公司值得被保存的意思。 2、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. [参考译文] 但是新的卫星频道的到来—它的资金一局部于广告，一局部于观众的收视费—将从长远意义上导致最巨大的变化。 [结构剖析] 首先这个句子使用了强调结构 it is…which，which 指代前面的 channels。破折号中间
局部的插入成分相当于定语，（which are） funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers' subscriptions 修饰 channels，其中 and 连接两个 partly by。
[阅读重点] 注意 bring about 在句中的含义是引起、导致、产生。 难句解析 1、They are brought sport, edy, drama, music, news and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, children's programmes and films for an annual licence fee of ￡83 per houhold.
[参考译文] 每户每年支付83英镑的的收视费用就可以收看体育运动、喜剧、戏剧、音乐、新闻与时事、教育、宗教、关于议会的报道、儿童节目和电影。 [结构剖析] 句子的主干结构是 They are brought…for an annual licen fee…，其中谓语局部使用了被动语态。实际结构是 bring 后接双宾语 bring sb. sth.，在这句话中，直接宾语很长，是一系列名词的罗列，前面的名词用逗号连接，最后两个并列成分用 and 连接。 [阅读重点] 重点要注意 they 指代前面提到的 listeners and viewers，这里使用了 bring sb. sth. 这一结构的被动式 sb. was brought sth.。介词 for 在这里相当于 at the price of。另外 news and current affairs 中的 and 是连接 news 和 current affairs 的，而这个词组作为一个整体与其它的名
词 music、education 等并列。 2、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.
