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
答案仅这一点就表明在电视行业里生存不那么容易，这个事实通过统计数字也是一目了然，统计表明在80家欧洲电视网中1989年出现亏损的不下50%。
解析 首先要弄清this指代什么。代词的后面有一个副词"alone"，这个"alone"是一个采分点，"alone"的翻译应该是"仅此一点"的意思，不要翻译成"电视行业生存不那么容易"，要翻译成"在电视行业里生存是不那么容易的"。下面还有一个稍微难一点的结构，"underlined"，考了它一个特殊的意义，就是"强调"或"凸显"的意思。
