单选题
A. that
B. this
C. it
D. which
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] that's to say那就是说，即换句话说。此题中D项干扰性较大，读者往往因which引导非限定性定语从句而误选D，但引导非限定性定语从句时，该从句应为一个整体，即句中不出现逗号。
【答案解析】[解析] 由本句及下旬的"though they don't usually have advertisements"推知此处应填advertise，即“为…做广告”。
单选题
A. national
B. public
C. commercial
D. local
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 商业性电视台与非商业性电视台的区分是其是否出售其广告时间或向电视观众征收费用。由后文“…people must pay the cable company a certain amount of money...”推知cable television stations仍为商业性电台。

A. factories
B. businesses
C. companies
