16、d; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Should Video Games Be Art?Back in April this year, film critic Roger Ebert decided to handle the topic of the cultural importance of video games from the perspective of whether they could ever be regarded as art. Clearly, Ebert (21) (co

17、nvince) that no game sofar could even dream of being considered as coming close to a work of art.In today s post, Ebert returns to the topic to put an end to the debate that has been going on ever since: though he stands by (22) he believes in namely that, at least in theory and principle, video gam

18、es will never be arthe can now admit that he shouldn t have expressed his opinion without knowing what he was talking about. And that is his biggest mistake, as far as he is concerned, (23) he expressed a judgment on a public forum (论坛) without having playeda single video game and all the while (24)

19、 (insist) that was the lastthing on his wish list. He approached the matter strictly from a theoretical point of view and that s not fair (25) the gaming industry or the gamerswho took offense, for that matter.“ I was a fool for mentioning video games in the first place. I would never express an opi

20、nion on a movie I hadn t seen. Yet I have declared that video games (26) never be Art. I still believe this, but I should never have said so. Some opinions are best kept to yourself. So far, 4,547 comments (27) (rain) down uponme for that blog entry. Perhaps 300 supported my position. The rest were

21、united in opposition. What you see now posted are almost all of the comments (28) (send) in. They are mostly intelligent, well-written, and right about one thing in particular: I should not have written that entry without being more familiar withthe actual experience of video games,”Ebert writes abo

22、ut the very post (29)started the debate.Most posters pointed to him that he was also doing so without as much as offering a clear definition of Art.“(30) gamers experience video games as a formof art, does that not automatically make them so？” some said. Others, tired ofreading what others had argue

23、d before them, were simply content to say “ Ebert doesn t get it. ”Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.

Soon that may change with green power. Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered (31)to charge their cell-phones,

25、 while sitting in their school ' s outdoor courtyard during a bre ak from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an aha moment.“It occurred to Camila to say about plants, " said inventor Evelyn Aravena. "Why don' t you have a socket, if there are so many plants? Afte

26、r that, we thought, why don' t they have a charger? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the (32)to produce energy, why not? ”Their invention - a small (33)current they call E-Kaia uses theenergy plants produce during photosynthesis. A plant uses only a part of that energ

27、y the rest goes into the soil, and that' s where the E -Kaia collects it. The deviceplugs into the ground and then into your phone. Mauricio Cifuentes of Duoc University said, "It ' s the most amazing (34)I ' ve ever seen in my life, plain and simple. At least from my personal point

28、 of view I began to (35)them. It was transformational. ”The device solved two problems for the engineering students they needed anidea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones. a Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no (36), and the mobile phones, we weren' t a

29、ble to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices,“ said Aravena. But plantsare everywhere, and the bio- circuittaps into their excess power. "There is a completeenergy cycle of the plant. We(37) to make use of t

30、he cycle, then we wouldnot affect the plant s growth. The bio -circuit makes an acquisition and that is (38) into energy to later make charges for low consumption,” said inventor Camila Rupcich.The E-Kaia doesn t carry much charge but it s powerful enough to (39) recharge a mobile phone in less than

31、 two hours. The student inventors have applied for patents on their (40) , and expect the E-Kaia to go onsale in the near future.III.

34、) . It s one moment of traditional musical expression in a conservatorythat (44) that the music industry is in major change.“Everything we know about the (45) of music -making, and the industryof music including recordings, published materials, concert places, the way people enjoy the performance an

35、d concerts have changed rapidly in the last 20 years, ” he says, “and it became clear to me and other people of like mind to (46) how to develop young artisticleaders who are truly (47) of making theirway in this new world. ”That s why the Manhattan School of Music created the Center for Music Enter

36、prise,where students can learn about new media, fundraising, (48) their ownconcert series, producing their own recordings, creating a package for the media and other necessary skills.Sirota, who completed his own conservatory education in the 1970s, (49) today s Internet world with what used to be.“

37、 The (50) as we understood in the music world, was that there werea small number of major international symphony orchestras, there were some excellent performers, and there was an (51) audience of concertgoers,” he says.“ There were in addition, several multi-national record companies. But what hash

38、appened is the way people listen to music has changed. ” Klorman knows that many young musicians are worried about the information needed to (52) a successfulcareer today. However, he says the current climate rewards personal initiative and imagination as never before. And if we are creative about p

43、or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)American View On BusinessHenry Ford, a famous American inventor and carmaker, once said: American business is

44、business. What he meant by this is that the American way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford s statement. A brief look at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a bu

45、siness section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily.In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal bud

46、get, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business.Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as“ the entertainment industry ” or “ showbusi ness. ”The positive side of Henry Fords st

47、atement can be seen in the wealth that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons why so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a betterjob. Many jobs are produced because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. Peop

48、le believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business referring to thebiggest companies, is seen in opposition t

49、o labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor arguments are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. The laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and

50、 profits highcreates feelings of insecurity for many.56. According to the passage, the United States is a typical country .A. which encourages free trade at home and abroadB. which normally works according to the federal budgetC. where all businesses are managed scientificallyD. where people s chief

51、 concern is how to make money57. Why do immigrants choose to settle in the United States according to the passage? Because they think that .A. they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can find more and better ways to make a livingC. they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they can be more

52、competitive in business58. Why can Henry Ford s statement be taken negatively according to the passage?A. Because working people are discouraged to fight for their fights.B. Because public services are not run by the federal government.C. Because there are many industries controlled by a few big cap

53、italists.D. Because there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor.59. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. In the big business there are fewer arguments between labor and management.B. The negative effects of business news will increase emplo

54、yment opportunities.C. Keeping lower costs and higher profits could leave many unemployed.D. In the world of arts and entertainment there is always a rise in workers ' wages.(B)A Brief History Of Waterstone ' sWaterstone s is the largest bookstore chain in the UK and Ireland, with 296 stores

55、 and 4500 employees, but its market share has recently declined and sales have been poor.The book market suffered during the economy declines and the emergence of new e-readers, such as the Amazon Kindle, was pulling more customers away from the high street.A&NN will pay for Waterstone ' s i

56、n two parts, one of £40million and one of £ 13million.The deal will only complete if HMV can renegotiate its bank facilities, though HMV says the banks are supportive of the sale. Pension trustees and the pensions regulator also have to approve.HMV chief executive Simon Fox saidWaterstone

57、' s founder Tim Waterstone opened his first store in 1982 at a time when fellow book-lovers were presented with few options on the high street.The top bookseller was WH Smith, Mr. Waterstone ' s former employer of eight years before he was dismissed, which he felt was failing to go into a br

58、oad market of literature fans.The first store was opened in Old Brompton Road, and the former b anker' s intuition was correct as the chain went from strength to strength.A&NN would be a good home for Waterstone' s, while the sale will reduce borrowings and enable HMV to focus on plans for transforming the busi
