Radio and Television (C级)
1 There are few homes in Britain today that do not have either a radio or television set(定语从句, that指代前面的homes). Both of them have become an essential part of our life, keeping us informed of the news of the day, instructing us in many fields of interest, and entertaining us with singing, dancing and acting(划线结构是现在分词结构,与句子的谓语部分并列).
2 Television is another major instrument of communication, permitting us to see as well as to hear the performer(划线结构是现在分词结构,与句子的谓语部分并列). Since its appearance, TV has had a tremendous1 effect on the daily life of people everywhere.
3 Improvements2 of all kind are constantly being made in television so that reception will be as close to perfect as possible(结果状语从句, so that/以至于). Perhaps the most recent advancement3 of significance has been “Telstar.” The specially4 equipped space capsule(太空飞船), orbiting5 the globe(分词结构, 作定语修饰前面的space capsule), makes it(形式宾语) possible for the entire world to be closer than ever before(真正的宾语). Now a family in Manchester can watch on TV a football match in France, a ski tournament(锦标赛) in Norway, or a parade in Japan as these events are actually happening(时间状语从句, as“当”).
