M: You’re not still watching television, are you?
W: I enjoy your television — I’ll have to watch lots more while I’m here. The camera-work was very good. It looked like the work of real experts. Er, how long has television been going in Britain?
M: Oh, since 1936.
W: Ah!
M: Only in the London area at that time, though. There wasn’t any television during the Second World War. It started up again afterwards. The BBC was the organisation responsible for it.
W: What do the initials BBC stands for?
M: British Broadcasting Corporation. It’s a public corporation. It isn’t controlled by the government, but it’s not a private company either. That means that the government can’t use the BBC for propaganda purposes, and or can private individuals or firms.
W: Is there any advertising?
M: Not on the BBC, ITV gets its money from advertising, though.
W: ITV?
M: ITV stands for Independent Television. It was started in 1954 again in the London area. It covers the whole country now, though.
W: What do people think of the advertisements on television?
M: It depends. A lot of people think it’s a good idea because it means that television can pay its way — the ITV gets all its money from advertisements.
W: What about the BBC?
M: You have to pay a TV license of £7 a year that goes to the BBC, or £12 for colour. A lot of people don’t like having to pay and wish that there were advertisements on the BBC too. On the other hand, other people hate TV advertising because they think it’s an insult to their intelligence.
Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
13. What can we learn about television in London?
14. What can we learn about the BBC television?
15. What’s the reason that some people don’t like TV?
选项
A、Because they have to pay for advertisements.
B、Because they think TV’s commercials are insults to their intelligence.
C、Because it gets all its money from advertisements.
D、Because there weren’t any ads on TV.
答案
B
解析
对话最后提到一些人不喜欢电视的两个原因:一个是A lot of people don’tlike having to pay,另一个是other people hate TV advertising because they think it’s an insultto their intelligence,B)表述与此相符,故为答案。还有另一个原因是,人们不想自己为电视付费,所以也希望BBC上有广告,从而不用缴费。A)中的pay for advertisements表述错误;C)中的all表述过于绝对,
