历年经典真题讲解系列之三

Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. The commercial TV channels — ITV 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.

58. The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other than ________.

[A] the emergence of commercial TV channels

[B] the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government

[C] the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs

[D] the challenge of new satellite channels

思路解析：

第一句：BBC不得不改变，因为其周围的广播的世界在变！

第二句：变化的表现一。（原因一）

第三句：变化的表现二。（原因二）

现在问题就来了：到底是看第二句还是看第三句呢？

A选项和B选项还有C选项仿佛在对应着第二句；

D选项对应第三句；

这个时候就要检查你是否尊重题干了！

题干中有个很重要的定位词: The foremost reason 这是在问最主要的原因！

所以第二句和第三句的地位是不一样的！

第三句中：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.

有But,有biggest所以第三句才是主要原因啊！

所以答案只能选择D！
