问题     It is not easy to talk about the role of the mass media in this overwhelmingly significant phase in European history. History and news become confused, and one’s impressions tend to be a mixture of skepticism and optimism. (46)Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed—and perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe. The Europe that is now forming cannot be any thing other than its peoples, their cultures and national identities. With this in mind we can begin to analyze the European television scene. (47)In Europe, as elsewhere multi-media groups have been increasingly successful groups which bring together television, radio newspapers, magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another. One Italian ex ample would be the Berlusconi group, while abroad Maxwell and Murdoch come to mind. Clearly, only the biggest and most flexible television companies are going to be able to compete in such a rich and hotly-contested market. (48)This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in, a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks, no less than 50% took a loss in 1989.
    Moreover, the integration of the European community will oblige television companies to cooperate more closely in terms of both production and distribution.
    (49)Creating a "European identity" that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old Continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice—that of producing programs in Europe for Europe. This entails reducing our dependence on the North American market, whose programs relate to experiences and cultural traditions which are different from our own.
    In order to achieve these objectives, we must concentrate more on co-productions, the exchange of news, documentary services and training. This also involves the agreements between European countries for the creation of a European bank for Television Production which, on the model of European Investments Bank, will handle the finances necessary for production costs. (50)In dealing with a challenge on such a scale it is no exaggeration to say "United we stand, divided we fall".—and if I had to choose a slogan it would be "Unity in our diversity". A unity of objectives that nonetheless respect the varied peculiarities of each country.

选项
答案和其他地方一样，欧洲的多媒体集团越来越成熟，这些集团把相互关系密切的电视台、电台、报纸、杂志、出版社组合到了一起。
解析 本句结构较复杂，词汇也是要难一些的。首先注意conveyed和so much…as in的理解。下面半句话有一个定语从句离主干的句子比较远，在句子的末处，但是翻译的时候必须要提前。
