For the last fifteen or twenty years the fashion in criticism or appreciation of the arts have been to deny the existence of any valid criteria and to make the __1__

Words “good” or “bad” irrelevant, immaterial, and inapplicable. There is no such thing, we are told, like a set of standards first acquired through experience and __2__

Knowledge and late imposed on the subject under discussion. This has been a __3__

Popular approach, for it relieves the critic of the responsibility of judgment and the public by the necessity of knowledge. It pleases those resentful of disciplines, it __4__

Flatters the empty-minded by calling him open-minded, it comforts the __5__

Confused. Under the banner of democracy and the kind of quality which our forefathers did no mean, it says, in effect, “Who are you to tell us what is good or bad?” This is same cry used so long and so effectively by the producers of mass __6__

Media who insist that it is the public, not they, who decide what it wants to hear __7__

And to see, and that for a critic to say that this program is bad and that program is good is pure a reflection of personal taste. Nobody recently has expressed this __8__

Philosophy most succinctly than Dr. Frank Stanton, the highly intelligent __9__

President of CBS television. At a hearing before the Federal Communications Commission, this phrase escaped from him under questioning: “One man’s mediocrity __10__ is another man’s good program”.

　　参考答案：

1 将have改为has。该句的主语 the fashion是单数.

2 将like改为as。such as 是固定搭配.

3 将late改为later。later和上文first对应.

4 将by改为of或者from。　relieve sb of/ from sth 是固定搭配, 意思为 “减轻某人(的负担等)”

5 将him改为them。因为其先行词为 the empty-minded,而 “the+adj/p.p” 表示一类人时,通常表示复数概念.

6 在same前加the。the same 表示 “唯一,独一无二”的概念,因此必须加定冠词.

7 将decide改为decides。该句的主语 the public 表示的是单数概念.,这一点从后面的代词it 可以看得出来.

8 将pure改为purely。在这里purely作状语,修饰谓语动词,因此应使用副词.

9 将most改为more。more than 搭配,引导出比较状语从句.

10 将from去掉。escape在作 “被某人情不自禁地说出来”讲时,是及物动词,而只在作 “逃跑”讲时,才时不及物动词.

What is a black hole? Well, it is difficult to answer the question,

as the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon __1__

are adequate here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is __2__

a region of space which matter has fallen and from which nothing can __3__

escape—not even light. But we can’t see a black hole. A black hole __4__

exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only

space—or thus we think. How can this happen? __5__

The theory is that some stars explode when their density increases

to a particular point; they “collapse” and sometimes a supernova occurs.

The collapse of a star may produce a “White Dwarf” of a “neutronstar”—

a star which matter is so dense that if continually shrinks by the force of __6___

its own gravity. But if the star is very large, this process of shrinking may

be so intense that a black hole results in. Imagine the earth reduced to the __7__

size of a marble, but still having the same masses and a stronger __8__

gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. __9__

And no matter near the black hole is sucked in. __10__

　　参考答案：

1 将as 改为since或者because。在表示原因的'连接词中，只有as引导的原因状语从句不能位于主句之后，只能位于句首。

2 将adequate 改为inadequate，或者在are后加not。从逻辑上分析，因为我们拥有的科学术语“不充足”，所以才无法回答这个问题，所以用否定形式。

3 在which 前加into。这是一个定语从句，意思是“黑洞是太空中物质可以掉进去的地方”，所以定语从句应该为“into which matter has fallen”。

4 将but 改为 so。 上文已提到“连光都无法从黑洞中逃出”，所以我们根本无法看到黑洞。这里应该是因果关系，而不是转折关系。

5 将thus改为so。这句话的意思是“那只是空间—或者我们认为它只是空间”。so做 think 的宾语，thus 只能做连词，不能做宾语。

6 将which 改为whose。这个定语从句的意思是“它是一颗星，其密度非常大，由于自身的引力，它在不断地收缩”。matter 属于star，所以关系代词应该用whose。

7 去掉in。result为不及物动词，意为“形成了”，而“result in sth。”意为“导致某结果”。

8 将masses 改为mass。mass 可指“大量的物质”，而“the masses”特指“劳动群众”，用在此处不妥。

9 将ideas 改为idea。“idea”在表达“印象”时，为不可数名词，不可以用复数。
