The BBC was set up in 1922, including radio and television services, based at Broadcasting （广播）House in London.
The BBC is controlled by some governors（管理人员）sent by the government but these people have complete freedom and the government can’t interfere（干涉）. That is, the BBC is not the mouthpiece（代言人）of the government. It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to, for example, political parties and religious（宗教）groups.
There is a kind of interesting service in Britain----rental services. Many people prefer to rent (pay money regularly for the use of) their television sets instead of buying them.
The rent for a black-and-white TV set is about 80 pence a week (1980). The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black-and-white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced (take the place of) immediately.
Everyone who owns to rent a television set has to pay a yearly license. There is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of license that the BBC gets most of its money. A license for a black-and-white set costs £ 18, and for a color set £ 18 a year.
There are four specialized radio channels, which broadcast different kinds of programs. Radio 1 is mainly pop music. Radio 2 deals with light music, sport and other programs. Radio 3 broadcasts serious music, talks on serious subjects, etc. News broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.
There are special programs for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and certain parts of England. The BBC also broadcasts as well as in English to all parts of the world.

48. How does the BBC get most of its money?
A. It gets money from all kinds of advertisements.
B. The BBC depends on the rent of TV sets.
C. The BBC gets money by repairing TV sets that have gone wrong.
D. It gets its money mainly by selling license.
49. Which of the following is true?
A. If you rent a television set and there is something wrong with it, you should fix it with your own money.
B. It costs more to rent a color TV set than a black-and-white one.
C. You can’t listen to pop music from Radio 1.
D. You needn’t buy the license if you pay the rent on time.
50. Which of the following is not true?
A. The BBC radio services including 4 radio channels.
B. The BBC broadcasts to foreign countries only in English.

Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.
The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2023. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.
In 2023, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect（探测〉water waste and leakage（泄漏）and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.
Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App（应用程序〉that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.
51. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?
A. Digital technologies are used in smart
