问题     The proportion of works cut for the cinema in Britain dropped from 40 percent when I joined the BBFC in 1975 to less than 4 per cent when I left. But I don’t think that 20 years from now it will be possible to regulate any medium as closely as I regulated film.
    The internet is, of course, the greatest problem for this century. (61) The world will have to find a means, through some sort of international treaty or United Nations initiative, to control the material that’s now going totally unregulated into people’s homes. That said, it will only take one little country like Paraguay to refuse to sign a treaty for transmission to be unstoppable. Parental control is never going to be sufficient.
    (62) I’m still very worried about the impact of violent video games, even though researchers say their impact is moderated by the fact that players don’t so much experience the game as enjoy the technical manoeuvres(策略)that enable you to win. But in respect of violence in mainstream films, I’m more optimistic. Quite suddenly, tastes have changed, and it’s no longer Stallone or Schwarzenegger who are the top stars, but Leonardo DiCaprio— that has taken everybody by surprise.
    (63) Go through the most successful films in Europe and America now and you will find virtually none that are violent. Quentin Tarantino didn’t usher in a new, violent generation, and films are becoming much more pre-social than one would have expected.
    Cinemagoing will undoubtedly survive. The new multiplexes are a glorious experience, offering perfect sound and picture and very comfortable seats, things which had died out in the 1980s. (64) I can’t believe we’ve achieved that only to throw it away in favour of huddling around a 14-finch computer monitor to watch digitally—delivered movies at home.
    It will become increasingly cheap to make films, with cameras becoming smaller and lighter but remaining very precise. (65) That means greater chances for new talent to e-merge, as it will be much easier for people to learn how to be better film-makers. People’s working lives will be shorter in the future, and once retired they will spend a lot of time learning to do things that amuse them—like making videos. Fifty years on we could well be media-saturated as producers as well as audience: instead of writing letter, one will send little home movies entitled My Week.
选项
答案这意味着电影新秀会有更多机会脱颖而出，因为人们会更容易学会怎样把电影拍得更好。
解析 句子的框架是That means…，as it will be…。句中as引导了原因状语从句；主句中的that指代前面的整个句子It will become…but remaining very precise，new talent是“新人才”的意思，根据上下文可译成“电影新秀”。
