Putting Movies on Mobiles

Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the Oscars．But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm — the first mobile film festival.

The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries．Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length — ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones．An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers．The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.

New Platforms

The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry．Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films．They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work．Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.　　

It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience．Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!

New Technology Advances

MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood．The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size．However this could be overcome as technology advances.

In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone．And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality．

Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.

60．At the first MoFilm, ________．  

A．movies in the theater got their recognition

B．more than 100 countries took part in the competition

C．ideal films were five minutes or less in length

D．the winner was chosen by experts’ voting

61．They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work．The underlined word means “________”．

A．disappointed             B．surprised                     C．frightened              D．encouraged

62．Nowadays the majority of films made for mobiles are short in length because of ________．

A．online services        B．the mobile phone           C．technology advances       D．the screen size

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public．Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before．He hopes the public will listen and understand he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him．

What visual（视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colours, not words．They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colours, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us．Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colours, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist．

Most artists take their shapes and colours from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose（动态和静态）, their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights．Contemporary（当代的）artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern that there is nothing more in it．Yet even they do choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects．If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous（坏疽性的）leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world．Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us．

1．It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because                       ．

A．most painters do not express themselves well

B．a painter uses unusual words and phrases

C．a painter uses shapes and colours instead of words

D．many painters do not say anything

2．A painter chooses certain shapes and colours because he feels that they                  ．

A．have been used frequently in the past    B．are easy to work with

C．are worth showing to the public         D．will be most attractive to the public

3．The writer says that contemporary artists might say their choice of subject              ．

A．carries a message to the public             B．only provides interesting patterns

C．has no pattern or form                          D．teaches the public important truths

4．Compared with a painter of unpleasant subjects, a painter who draws a lake in moonlight is                  ．

A．having more meanings                         B．pointing out different things

C．more skilled                                          D．giving less information

5．Implied（暗示）but not stated:                                    ．

A．A painting is more easily understood than a symphony（交响乐）

B．Art is merely the arranging of shapes and colors

C．Every artist tries to say something to the public

D．One must look beyond shape and colour to find what the artist is saying

D

       The decision to enter F1 and compete at the highest level of motorsport was an intended move by Toyota, the world’s third largest auto manufacturer ,to further challenge its own capabilities. By going head-to-head with the industry’s top performers on the world’s premier racing stage ,the Japanese giant was setting itself a huge task. A sport with an enormous international following, the risks of entering the F1 arena are high—but there are rich rewards for those who succeed .Besides being a showcase for state-of-the-art technology, the intense competition in this most demanding of racing disciplines leaves no room for self-satisfaction. More importantly, it fosters（培养）the kind of forward-thinking team spirit that Toyota is seeking.

       While F1 benefited greatly from the added prestige of having such a distinguished newcomer among its competitors ,the demands placed on Panasonic Toyota Racing last year revealed the shortcomings of not having enough experience as a team .Mistakes were made and valuable lessons were learned ,among which was the fundamental truth: “To stand still in F1 is to go backwards.”

       With the past in mind ,preparations for the 2003 season included sweeping changes on both the technical and personnel（人事的）sides. The management at Toyota Motorsport GmbH was restructured , with John Howett moving from Toyota Motor Marketing Europe to become President ,thus enabling the company founder , Ove Andersson ,more time to concentrate on the operation of the race team at the track .Andersson’s value as an inspirational leader was one of the team’s biggest assets（财富）in 2002.

68．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

       A．To go backwards ,Toyota has to stand still.

       B．If Toyota doesn’t make improvements ,they will fall behind.

       C．Keeping calm will help go forward.

       D．In order to keep up with other teams ,Toyota has to stand still.

69．We can learn from the passage that     .

       A．Toyota entered F1 to enlarge its market.

       B．Entering F1 is low risk but rich rewarding.

       C．Toyota team has always been experienced.

       D．Toyota made good preparations for the 2003 season.

70．What will the next paragraph talk about if the passage goes on?

       A．Preparations for the 2003 season.

       B．The value of Ove Andersson.

       C．How to improve the European market.

       D．Changes on technical side.
