长难句分析 ①They are brought sport, comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, children’s programmes and films for an annual licence fee of 83 per household. 该句的主干是They are brought，谓语是被动语态，由bring接双宾结构即bring them sth 转化而来，直接宾语由sport, comedy, drama等一串并列名词构成，for an annual作状语。
②The corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization，at least for the time being，but its role，its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain. 该句是由but连接的两个转折关系的分句。前半句为The corporation will survive as，其中at least for the time being的意思是“眼下暂时”这里做时间状语。后半句的主干可以表达为A are the subject of B A是B的对象。
④The BBC “isn’t broke”, they say, by which they mean it is not broken (as distinct from the word ‘broke’, meaning having no money), so why bother to change it? 该句调整句序后应为They say, the BBC“isn’t broke” , so why bother to change it?。主干部分是由so连接的两个因果关系的分句。前一分句中which引导定语从句修饰“isn’t broke”，括号内的部分指出broken破损和broke破产，有不同含义，后一分句why bother to do sth. 是反问句，属非正式用法。
⑤But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term. 此句的主干是it is the arrival ... which...是一个强调句，被强调的部分为主语the arrival of new satellite channels。破折号中间的内容是过去分词结构，置于所修饰的名词之后，做定语。
佳句赏析 ① And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio stations.
