The proportion of works cut for the cinema in Britain dropped from 40 percent when I joine

d the BBFC in 1975 to less than 4 percent when I left. But I don't think that 20 years from now it will be possible to regulate any medium as closely as I regulated film.

The Internet is, of course, the greatest problem for this century. The world will have to find a means, through some sort of international treaty of United Nations initiative, to control the material that's now going totally unregulated into people's homes. That said, it will only take one little country like Paraguay to refuse to sign a treaty for transmission to be unstoppable. Parental control is never going to be sufficient.

I'm still very worried about the impact of violent video games, even though researchers say their impact is moderated by the fact that players don't so much experience the game as enjoy the technical manoeuvres (策略) that enable you to win. But in respect of violence in mainstream films, I'm more optimistic. Quite suddenly, tastes have changed, and it's no longer Stallone or Schwarzenegger who are the top stars, but Leonardo DiCaprio—that has taken everybody by surprise.

Go through the most successful films in Europe and America now and you will find virtually none that are violent. Quentin Tarantino didn't usher in a new, violent generation, and films are becoming much more pro-social than one would have expected.

Cinemagoing will undoubtedly survive. The new multiplexes are a glorious experience, offering perfect sound and picture and very comfortable seats, things which had died out in the 1980s.

It will become increasingly cheap to make films, with cameras becoming smaller and lighter but remaining very precise. That means greater chances for new talent to emerge, as it will be much easier for people to learn how to be better film-makers. People's working lives will be shorter in the future, and once retired they will spend a lot of time learning to do things that amuse them—like making videos. Fifty years on we could well be media-saturated as producers as well as audience; instead of writing letters, one will send little home movies entitled My Week.

Which of the following about the Internet is true according to the passage？

A．The Internet is the greatest progress for this century.

B．Efforts are needed to control Internet.

C．Paraguay refused to sign a treaty for transmission.

D．The United Nations has found ways to prevent the Internet from developing.

英译汉

When America Online and Time Warner announced their merger in January 2000, at the height of the Internet boom, this mega-marriage of new technology and old media was enthusiastically received. The world's biggest online service was expected to inject its "Internet DNA" into the stodgy media giant. Together they -would come up with all sorts of lucrative synergies and "cross-fertilization". Even the Economist was excited: "For once, the superlatives and the hype seem justified," we opinioned.

I am delighted to be with you. I first visited China 22 years ago, but this is my first vi

sit to your university, in a city whose students have helped shape the development of modem China. So I am privileged to have the opportunity to share ideas about U. S. -China relations in the modem era of globalization with people who will, I expect, help write Chinese history—through deeds and words—in the 21 st century. //

It was the students of Beijing who in May 1919 protested the Treaty of Versailles' failure to expel Japanese occupiers from China. In that action, the source of the May 4 Movement, Beijing's students not only made a bold statement about China's freedom from foreign occupation and right to self-determination. They also ushered in the era of modem China, taking a decisive step toward China's emergence from imperial rule and stagnation. I think it is useful to begin our exchanges about the future from the vantage point of what happened almost a century ago in this historic city. //

Chinese are tightly proud of the history of the world's oldest continuous civilization, and look to it for lessons. America is a young nation by comparison, but suggestion that we live exclusively in the present, unshaped by history, is a misleading caricature. So I would like to share with you my perceptions about what this last century has meant to our two countries, how we have perceived each other, and where we are going. Many people talk about this new millennium as an unprecedented age of globalization. Extraordinary it is, but unprecedented it is not. //

In 1902, the automobile was just coming into use in the United States. Man's first airplane flight occurred 99 years ago, on a beach in North Carolina. The wireless radio followed in a few years, transforming societies—much like the Internet is doing today. The telephone enabled people to converse across mountains, rivers, and indeed around the world. The United States was transformed by this earlier era of globalization in the most fundamental way—the face of its population. In each year of the first decade of the last century, new immigrants to America numbered about one percent of the existing population. //

A country that had been largely composed of people of English, German, Irish, and Africa descent found itself the chosen destination of millions of immigrants from different parts of the planet—Poles, Russians, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, and Jews, among others. Their contributions to American economic, social, scientific, intellectual, and political life were enormous. We learned that openness—to people, goods, capital, and of course ideas—is our greatest strength as a country and society. Although change and adaptation and intrusions from outside can be frightening, and pose difficulties of adjustment, openness spurs dynamism, flexibility, competition, liberty, and the individual pursuits of happiness. //

听力原文： How many of you are familiar with the name Jeff Bezos？ OK, how about Amazon.com？

Have you heard of that？ Well, Amazon.com is the world's first and largest Internet bookstore, and Jeff Bezos is the man who started Amazon.com back in 1995. Five years later, Amazon.com was serving millions of customers in 120 different countries. Amazing, right？ And this is the reason why, in 1999, Jeff Bezos was selected as Time Magazine's Person of the Year, a very great honor.

Now, Jeff Bezos is actually not the topic of my lecture today, but he is a perfect example of my topic, which is about entrepreneurs. It's a French word meaning a person who starts a completely new business or industry, um, someone who does something no one else has done before, like Jeff Bezos, who started the very first Internet bookstore. Entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos are very highly respected in American society and, I think, in many other countries too.

OK, let's begin by looking at the characteristics of entrepreneurs. There are two qualities that I think all entrepreneurs have in common. First, entrepreneurs have vision. I mean that they have the ability to see opportunities that other people simply do not see. Let's look again at the example of Jeff Bezos. One day in 1994, he was surfing the Internet when suddenly he had a brilliant idea= why not use the Internet to sell products？ Remember, at that time, no one was using the Internet in that way. After doing some research, Bezos decided that the product he wanted to sell was books. That's how Amazon.com got its start.

The other quality that I think all entrepreneurs possess is that they are not afraid to take risks. As an example, let me tell you about Fred Smith, who founded Federal Express, the company that delivers packages anywhere in the United States overnight. Smith first suggested the idea for his company in a college term paper. Do you know what grade he got on it？ A "C"! But this didn't stop him, and today his company is worth more than two billion dollars and employs more than 25,000 people.

Now let's take a look at their backgrounds, and here we'll find lots of differences. First of all, some entrepreneurs are well educated, like Jeff Bezos, who graduated from Princeton University. But others, like Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft Corporation, never even finished college. Next, some entrepreneurs come from rich families, like Fred Smith, the founder of Federal Express. In contrast, other entrepreneurs come from poor families. A great example is Andrew Grove, the former chairman of the Intel computer company, who was born in Hungary and came to America as a refugee after World War Ⅱ.

15. When was Amazon.com serving millions of customers in 120 different countries？

16.Among these entrepreneurs, who graduated from Princeton University？

17.Which statement is NOT true about Fred Smith？

18.Which quality does Jeff Bezos have？

(35)

A．1990.

B．1995.

C．1997.

D．2000.
