As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually! The 26th version of Icehotel

38、ries to appeal to customers DIts food is not delicious at a11BBooks, Films and Plays The novelists medium is the written word, one might almost say the printed word. Typically the novel is consumed by a silent, individual reader, who may be anywhere at the time. The paperback novel is still the chea

39、pest, most portable and adaptable form of narrative entertainment. It is limited to a single channel of information-writing. The narrative can go, effortlessly, anywhere: into space, peoples head, palaces, prisons and pyramids, without any consideration of cost or practical possibility. In determini

40、ng the shape and content of his narrative, the writer is restricted by nothing except purely artistic criteria. The novelist keeps absolute control over his text until it is published and received by the audience. He may be advised by his editor to revise his text, but if the writer refused to meet

41、this condition no one would be surprised. It is not unknown for a well-established novelist to deliver his or her manuscript(手稿) and expect the publisher to print it exactly as written.However, not even the most well-established playwright or screenplay writer would submit a script and expect it to

42、be performed without any rewriting. This is because plays and motion pictures are cooperative forms of narrative, using more than one channel of communication.The production of a stage play involves, as well as the words of the author, the physical presence of the actors, their voices and gestures,

43、the “set” and possibly music. Although the script is the essential basis of both stage play and film, it is a basis for subsequent revision negotiated between the writer and the other creative people involved. They are given “approval” of the choice of director and actors and have the right to atten

44、d rehearsals(排演), during which period they may undertake more rewriting work. In the case of the screenplay, the writer may have little or no control over the final form of his work. Contracts for the production of plays protect the rights of authors in this respect.In film or television work, on th

45、e other hand, the screenplay writer has no contractual right to this degree of consultation. While the script is going through its various drafts, the writer is in the drivers seat, although sometimes receiving criticism from the producer and the director. But once the production is under way, artis

46、tic control over the project tends to pass to the director. This is a fact overlooked by most journalistic critics of television drama, who tend(unlike film critics) to give all the credit or blame for success or failure of a production to the writer and actors, ignoring the contribution, for good o

Which of these subtitles would be most appropriate?A. Why does the future look good for writers of books, plays and films?B. What do audiences w

48、ant from these three forms of entertainment?C. How do these forms of media compare for their producers?D. What benefit can we get from these forms of media?61. Why can the novelist expect the publisher to print the manuscript exactly as written?A. Because the novelist keeps absolute control over his

Because the novelist is seldom advised by editors to revise the text.62. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. Playwrights

Playwrights are frequently involved in revising their work.63. What can be implied from the last sentenc

Few people know that the screenplay writer is often criticized by the director.D. It is urgent for the film critics to realize their

52、 mistakes. CIn her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the pas

53、t decade, the country raised students test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过分数) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking d

54、ifferences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.That American high schools waste more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of h

55、ow any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, its safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore
