填空题.As the presidential candidates shift toward the general election, voters will hear divergent plans to address the problem of "too big to fail" financial institutions. The real threat to Wall Street, however, doesn't come from politicians, but from startups that are disrupting financial services at an unprecedented pace. In 2015 investment in financial technology (Fin Tech) startups that aim to transform the industry rose to nearly $14 billion, according to American Banker. As they gain customers, the megabanks will lose ground. "Too big to fail" also often means too clumsy to innovate. Already these institutions are finding themselves playing defense. Innovative blockchain technology—the magic behind Bitcoin—could drive further decentralization and disruption. But it isn't just banking. New startups are reimagining how we learn, eat, stay healthy and get around. This is only a start, as the Third Wave of the Internet gains strength. The First Wave was about building the Internet. Companies such as AOL created the underlying infrastructure and brought America and the rest of the world online. This phase peaked around 2000, setting the stage for the Second Wave, which has been about building apps and services on top of the Internet. Now the Third Wave has begun. Over the next decade and beyond, the Internet will rapidly become ubiquitous, integrated into our everyday lives, often in invisible ways. This will challenge industries such as health care, education, financial services, energy and transportation—which collectively represent more than half the U. S. economy. Take education. While the presidential candidates discuss the merits of abolishing or expanding the federal Education Department, entrepreneurs are revolutionizing how instructors teach and students learn. Venture capitalists see what's coming. Funding for EdTech startups hit $1.85 billion in 2015, according to EdSurge, up from $360 million in 2010. Former teachers are leading companies that are unleashing—finally—personalized and adaptive learning. While the pundits debate education policy, the innovators are in the trenches improving classrooms all across the country. Or look at health care. As the candidates pitch plans to abolish or build on the Affordable Care Act, the real action to improve America's medical system is coming from entrepreneurs. They are inventing better ways to keep us healthy, and smarter ways to treat us when we get sick. The revolution in health care is being led by the innovators who are working tirelessly to improve outcomes, enhance convenience and lower costs. And again, investors sense this: in 2015 health care companies raised a record $16.1 billion in venture capital, The Wall Street Journal reported, and increase from 2014 of 34%. And work itself is changing. Politicians promise to boost job creation, but their debates seem out of step with reality. As more industries become "Uberized," and increasing share of employees will work multiple gigs. A full-time job with a single employer could become pass6. Thus, how we manage benefits, sick leave and vacation will need to be modernized. That is likely the only path to lifting up the increasingly frustrated middle class. Second Wave startups have been centered around software: build an app, do what you can to drive viral adoption, and then find a way to make money, usually by selling ads, but sometimes by selling the entire company. In the Third Wave this approach won't work as well. Third Wave innovators will need to leam the lessons of the First Wave: the importance of partnerships, policy and perseverance. They won't be able to go it alone; they'll need to go together. They'll need to engage with governments, as regulators and often as customers. And they'll need to recognize that revolutions often happen in evolutionary ways. Success will require many alliances, as well as constructive dialogue with regulators. The Third Wave of the Internet is also converging with trends toward regional entrepreneurship and impact investing. The State Science and Technology Institute reports that more than three-quarters of venture capital investment in 2015 went to three states: California, Massachusetts and New York. But now we're seeing the "Rise of the Rest": cities across America are differentiating themselves by supporting startups. The next transformative enterprise in food systems could come from the Midwest instead of Silicon Valley. Impact investing—which focuses on purpose as well as profit—is growing, too. Investors, customers and employees increasingly want to believe in the companies that they buy from or work for. Politicians and corporate executives should be mindful that the tectonic plates of our economy are starting to shift. They should engage entrepreneurs and seek win-win partnerships, instead of simply watching them with skepticism, or, worse, trying to hobble them with regulations. As in the First Wave, coopetition—blending competition and cooperation—will likely define the coming era. The world is changing for all of us, and a new playbook is required. Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank. This is about next wave in the Internet's evolution. The real threat to financial institutions comes from 1 that are disrupting financial services at an unprecedented pace. Of three waves, 2 was under construction for the first wave. For the second the main target was building 3 on top of the Internet. The third wave of the Internet is also converging with trends toward 4 and impact investing. As innovators, 5 are changing the ways of how teachers teach and students learn.

填空题.The means by which an art form presents its message is referred to as the medium. Thus, sound produced by instruments or human voices is the medium of music. Paint on canvas or paper is the medium of painting, For literature, the medium is written language. For theatre, it is a story performed by actors on a stage. Drama is sometimes seen as a branch of literature because plays, like literature, are often printed in book form. However, there is an important difference between the two forms. Unlike a novel, a play is written to be performed, and the script of a play is not a finished work; it is an outline for a performance. The physical production of the play—the scenery, lighting, and costumes—will all affect the performance, and so will the actors. How the actors interpret their roles greatly influences the play's effect on the audience. The basic encounter in theatre is between the performers and the audience. This is a special type of encounter because the performers are playing other people or characters. Moreover, the characters are part of a human story that has been written by a dramatist. This combination of elements distinguishes theatre from other art forms. Theatre has several other distinctive characteristics. First, the subject matter of theatre is always human beings. Second, theatre is universal-there is an impulse toward creating theatre in all societies. Third, theatre is transitory in nature—a play is an event that occurs through time. Finally, theatre is set apart by its basic elements: audience, performers, director, dramatist, purpose, viewpoint, and setting. Human beings and human concerns are always the subject matter of drama, even when the performers play animals, objects, or abstract ideas. In the medieval play Everyman, some of the roles are abstract ideas such as Beauty, Knowledge, and Strength. The central character is Everyman, a human character, and the subject is death arriving before we want it to come—a theme that is universal to humans. The focus of the drama is on human beings, even though different human concerns have been emphasized in different ways. In view of the human-centered quality of theatre, it is not surprising that the impulse toward theatre is universal, The urge to create drama has existed wherever human society has developed: in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. In every culture recorded in history or studied by anthropologists, we find rituals, ceremonies, and celebrations that include elements of theatre. At various times, these ceremonies and stories developed into a separate realm of character. In Greece, a fully developed theatre emerged almost 2,500 years ago. In India, theatre became well-established around 2,000 years ago, Wherever theatre has become a separate art form, it has had certain essential qualities: a story-the play, is presented by one group-the performers, to another group-the audience. One essential quality in a theatre performance is its immediacy. In the theatre, we live in the perpetual present tense. Theatre is a transitory art. A performance changes from moment to moment, and each moment is a direct, immediate adventure for the audience. The transitory nature of theatre is a quality it shares with music and dance, and sets it apart from literature and the visual arts. A novel or a painting is a fixed subject; it exists as a finished product. The performing arts, on the other hand, are not objects but events. Theatre occurs through time; it is an experience created by a series of sights, sounds, and impressions. Questions Fill in the blanks below with information from the passage, using no more than four words for each blank. Theater The art of theater conveys its message by 1 One of the differences between literature and drama is that a play is written to 2 . The basic dramatic conflict is between 3 .

填空题.Surfing is something people often get hooked on after trying it a few times. For many surfers it is much more than a hobby—they would probably agree with the American professional surfer Kelly Slater when he said, "Once you're in, you're in. There's no getting out." "Surfing", of course, refers to riding on ocean waves using a surfboard. Many surfers stand upon their boards, which requires good balance and is therefore difficult for most beginners to learn, but some lie down and "bodyboard". The history of surfing probably began with the Polynesian people of the Pacific Islands. One of-the first white people to see anyone surfing was the British explorer Captain Cook, when his ship arrived in Hawaii in 1778. He watched many Hawaiians riding waves on large pieces of wood, and reported that, "Surfing seems to give them a feeling of great pleasure." When surfing started to become very popular in the United States in the 1950s and 60s, surfers used large wooden boards (often more than three metres long) that were quite heavy. Boards today are shorter and also much lighter, because they are made of artificial materials instead of wood. For anyone who wants to try surfing, the only essentials are waves and a board. There are a few other things, however, that most surfers find important: a cord to attach one of their ankles to the board and therefore stop it from being carried a long way away when they fall off; wax, which they put on the surface of the board to help their feet stick to it; and a wetsuit to help them keep warm in cold water. The south-west of England is an example of a place where surfers usually need wetsuits, even in summer. Surfing has been a professional sport for many years and the very best surfers are able to make a living from it. Most of the best professional surfers in the last 30 years, both men and women, have been American or Australian, but surfers from Brazil, Peru and South Africa have also won important competitions. Complete the following form with no more than three words according to the passage. Surfing Features Hard for 1 but addictive once "you're in". Surfers could either stand on the surfboard or just lie down and " 2 ". History It was started by the Polynesian people of the Pacific Islands, and gained popularity in America in the 1950s and 60s. The surfboard used to be made of wood, which was later replaced by 3 . Countries including American, Australian, Brazil, Peru and South Africa are known for 4 . Tips Essentials include waves and a board. Other important things are a safe cord that attaches their ankles to the board, wax to stick their feet to the board and a 5 to stay warm in cold waters like near the south-west of England.

填空题.Resemblances between Roman history and the history of Great Britain or the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries have often been noted. Like America's, the Roman economy evolved from a simple agrarianism to a complex urban system with problems of unemployment, gross disparity of wealth, and financial crises. Like the British Empire, the Roman Empire was founded on conquest. And like both the British and American empires, the Roman Empire justified itself by celebrating the peace its conquest allegedly brought to the world. Ultimately, however, such parallels are superficial. 1 The Romans disdained industrial activities; they had no idea of the modem national state. The Romans never developed an adequate representative government, and they never solved the problem of succession to imperial power. Roman social relations were also in no way comparable with those of more recent centuries. The Roman economy rested on slavery to a degree unmatched in any modem society. Technology was primitive, social stratification was extreme, and gender relations were profoundly unequal. 2 Nevertheless, Roman civilization exerted a great influence on later cultures. 3 Roman law was handed down to the Middle Ages and on into modem times. Roman sculpture provided the model on which virtually all modem sculpture rests, and Roman authors set the standards for prose composition in Europe and America until the 20th century. Even the organization of the Catholic Church was adapted from the structure of the Roman state; today the pope bears the title of supreme pontiff, once born by the emperor in his role as head of the Roman civic religion. But perhaps the most important of all Rome's contributions to the future was its role in transmitting Greek civilization throughout the length and breadth of its empire. 4 Each of these civilizations would be characterized by a distinctive religious tradition, and each would adopt and adapt different aspect of its Roman inheritance. What these three Western civilizations shared, however, was a common cultural inheritance derived from Greece by way of Rome—an inheritance of urbanism, cosmopolitanism, imperialism, and learning that would forever mark the West as a unique experiment in human history. This cultural inheritance would be Rome's epitaph; and in the mid-third century C. E., it must have seemed that an epitaph was the only thing needed to bring Roman Empire to an end. But in fact, the Roman Empire did not collapse. It went on to enjoy another several centuries of life. Rome did not fall in the third century, or even the fifth. 5 It is to those transformations that we now turn. Question A. But it was transformed; and in this transformed state the Roman inheritance would pass to the Western civilizations of the Middle Ages. B. Roman religion rested on the assumption that religious practice and political life were inseparable from one another, and Roman emperors were worshiped as living gods. C. Attention to the dynamics of Rome's decline in the west should not cause us to overlook the many ways in which Roman society was a towering success, D. Roman architectural forms survive to this day in the design of many of our government buildings, and Roman styles of dress continue to be worn by the clergy of various Christian churches. E. Until the third century crisis, the Romans had maintained a relatively stable currency and a prosperous international trade for four centuries without any of the mechanisms or safeguards of a modem market economy. F. Rome was an ancient, not a modem, society that differed profoundly from any of the societies of the modem Western world. G. When, finally, the Roman Empire did collapse, three different successor civilizations would emerge to occupy Rome's former territories: Byzantine, Islam, and western Europe.
