【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] The BBC is based at Broadcasting House in London, but has studios and local facilities throughout the country, which provide regional and national networks for radio and television. It was created by a Royal Charter and has a board of governors who are responsible for supervising the BBC programmes and suitability for the public. The governors are appointed by the Crown and are supposed to constitute an independent element in the organization of the BBC. The daily operation of the corporation is controlled by the Director General, who is chosen by the board of governors and the Prime Minister. The BBC is financed by a grant from Parliament, which comes from the revenue received from the sale of television licenses. These are payable by anyone who owns a television set, and are relatively low by international standards. Under the government's reforms of the Broadcasting Act of 1990, the BBC, while keeping the license-free system, has been encouraged to develop alternative forms of funding, such as subscription pay services. They also now must include independent productions in 25 percent of its television schedules. The BBC also generates considerable income from selling its programmes abroad, and from the sale of a programme guide called Radio Times, books, magazines and videos. The BBC's external service, which consists of radio broadcasts in English and some 39 other languages, was founded in 1923 and receives direct financing from the government, through the Foreign Office. These services have a high reputation for objective news reporting and programmes. What is the responsibility of BBC's board of governors? 本短文四道题选项中的television，BBC，getting grant from．programmes，reporters，selling和renting表明，短文可能与广播电台(BBC)的运营有关。 选项均为动名词短语，其中的arranging，supervising，inspecting，staff of the BBC和the union government表明，本题可能考查某(些)人在电台或政府中的职责。 短文中提到BBC的董事会由政府官员组成(a board of governors)，他们的职责是监督BBC的节目以及节目是否适合大众(are responsible for supervising...programmes and suitability for the public)，故B为答案。
