unit 1 festivals around the world using language课时作业.阅读理解(2018启东中学模拟)motion pictures are so much a part of our lives that its hard to imagine a world without them.we enjoy them in theatres，at home，in offices，in cars and buses，and on airplanes. for about 100 years，people have been trying to understand why this medium has so attracted us.films communicate information and ideas，and they show us places and ways of life we might not otherwise know.important as the benefits are，though，something more is at stake.films offer us ways of seeing and feeling that we find deeply satisfying.they take us through experiences.the experiences are often driven by stories，with characters we come to care about，but a film might also develop an idea or explore visual qualities or sound textures.a film takes us on a journey，offering a patterned experience that engages our minds and emotions. films are designed to have effects on viewers.late in the 19th century，moving pictures emerged as a public amusement.they succeeded because they spoke to the imaginative needs of a broad-based audience.all the traditions that emergedtelling fictional stories，recording actual events，animating objects or pictures，experimenting with pure formaimed to give viewers experiences they couldnt get from other media.the men and women who made films discovered that they could control aspects of cinema to give their audience richer，more engaging experiences.learning from one another，expanding and refining the options available，filmmakers developed skills that became the basis of film as an art form. the popular origins of cinema suggest that some common ways of talking wont help us much in understanding film.take the distinction between art and entertainment.some people would say that blockbusters(大片) playing at the multiplex are merely “entertainment”，whereas films for a narrower publicperhaps independent films for festival fare，or specialized experimental worksare true art.usually the art/entertainment split carries a not-so-hidden value judgment：art is high-brow，whereas entertainment is superficial.yet things arent that simple.as we just indicated，many of the artistic resources of cinema were discovered by filmmakers working for the general public.during the 1910s and 1920s，for instance，many films that aimed only to be entertaining opened up new possibilities for film editing.as for the matter of value，its clear that popular traditions can promote art of high quality.cinema is an art because it offers filmmakers ways to design experiences for viewers，and those experiences can be valuable. sometimes，too，people treat film art as opposed to film as a business.this split is related to the issue of entertainment，since entertainment generally is sold to a mass audience.again，however，in most modern societies，no art floats free of economic ties.novels good，bad，or indifferent are published because publishers expect to sell them.painters hope that collectors and museums will acquire their work.true，some artworks are funded through taxes or private donations，but that process，too，involves the artist in a financial transaction(交易).films are no different.others are funded by patronage or public moneys.even if you decide to make your own digital movie，you face the problem of paying for itand you may hope to earn a little extra for all your time and effort.the crucial point is that considerations of money dont necessarily make the artist any less creative or the project any less worthwhile.money can corrupt any line of business (consider politics)，but it doesnt have to.in renaissance italy，painters were commissioned by the catholic church to illustrate events from the bible.michaelangelo and lenonardo da vinci worked for hire，but it would be hard to argue that it hurt their artistry.here we wont assume that film art prevents entertainment.we wont take the opposite position eitherclaiming that only hollywood mass-market movies are worth attention.similarly，we dont think that film art rises above commercial demand，but we also wont assume that money rules everything.any art form offers a vast range of creative possibilities.our basic assumption is that as an art，film offers experiences that viewers find worthwhile.语篇解读电影作为一门艺术为观众提供了许多有价值的东西，但电影也是商业，任何艺术都离不开经济。1.where should the sentence “it doesnt happen by accident.” be put

is an essential tool for communication between businesses，between companies and their customers，between organizations，and between countries.the most common way to get a translation done is to go through a translation agency or a translator.but the past few years have seen the appearance of a new type of translators：machine translators.nowadays a person can point his smartphone at a sign in downtown japan and a machine translation app will display the text on the sign in english.so，with such advanced technology being created，the question arises，will human translators be jobless in future?when talking about machine translations we all think of google translate first，for one thing，it is the most famous one with more than 500 million users worldwide.it is a huge number compared to human translators：over 330,000 translators internationally which is just 0.0045% of the world population.google translate translates 100 billion words per day，that is,41,666,666 words per hour，in comparison 250 words per hour are translated by professionals.on average human translation of 1 word equals to 0.11，which means that if we gave the job done by google translate to professionals they would have daily jobs of 10,000 words which multiplied by 0.11 is 1,100 a day.it seems that machine translators have taken the lead in the competition with humans.however，not everything in the garden is rose.not every language is offered by machine translation tools：while googles translation gives plenty of languages，what if your required language isnt on the list?the biggest complaint regarding machine translation is that it may even basically provide a literal，word-for-word translation.the translation，even though it may be comprehensible，will not sound natural at all，will not be well-structured and may not keep the original meaning.in a contest held by a korean university，google translate went up against a group of human translators.googles translations only scored a 28 out of 60 possible points while the humans scored much better，with a high score of 49 out of 60.unlike a machine，when doing translation，a human translator must take into account the style of the source text：context，humor，irony，and idiomatic expressions.missing the spirit and aesthetic(美学的) character of the source text is less excusable than a few errors in translation of words.content that is targeted to a specific audience requires a more comprehensive understanding of the messaging.unlike machines，humans understand when to be literal and when to paraphrase(意译)for their audience.machine translating technology is getting better day by day，but it has a long way to go before being perfect.it is likely that in the future human translators will work alongside machine translators and use the software produced translation as an aid or a guide，in order to produce their own translations.but only if we provide improvement.will machine translation 6. human translation？7. of human

future？”可知在将来翻译机器是否能取代人工翻译的问题日益突出？文章在下文进行了讲述。根据题意，故填动词replace。7.答案disadvantages/drawbacks解析文章第二段主要讲述了与翻译机器相比，人工翻译的缺点。故填disadvantages/drawbacks。8.答案access解析根据第二段中的“.over 330,000 translators
