网络文艺处在“雅化”关键期
董阳
①截至 2017年 6月,我国网络文学用户规模达到 3.53亿,根据网络小说改编的电 影、电视剧、网络游戏铺天盖地。据清华大学课题组发布的《 2016中国 IP 产业报告》, 中国 IP 影响力排名前 100位,网络小说就占了 61部。这意味着,无论你读不读网络小 说,将来你看的电影、电视剧,听的歌曲,玩的游戏,很可能都跟网络小说有关。可以 说,我们正处在“网络文学 +”——一个由网络文艺“接管
.. ”大众文化的时代。
②这不是危言耸听,从文化发展史角度看也并不奇怪。一时代有一时代之文学,网
络文学其实就是互联网时代的通俗文学。今天被我们奉为经典的元杂剧、明清小说,都 是通俗文学,都是在底层文人大量的民间创作基础上,于勾栏瓦舍的频繁演出中涌现出 来的大众文艺精品。远的不说,金庸武侠本来就是在报纸上连载的通俗小说,它继承了 晚清民国以来通俗文学传统,最终融入主流文化,而我们看到的许多武侠小说衍生的电 影、电视剧、流行音乐、网络游戏、漫画,其核心的创意正是通俗小说本身。今天我们 将《西厢记》、四大名著奉为经典,把金庸小说放在很高的位置,将来某部网络小说被 奉为新名著,某部由网络小说改编的电影被奉为新经典,完全是有可能的。
③有人说,网络小说怪力乱神、子虚乌有,怎么能够担当这样的重任?在我看来, 网络小说在发展初期, 有过放任自流的阶段, 确实存在泥沙俱下的问题, 有的还很严重。 但“风物长宜放眼量”,今天正是包括网络小说在内的网络文艺从亚文化向主流文化转 换的关键阶段。 对此, 我们既要有信心、 有心胸, 也要对问题和难度有足够的清醒意识。 ④目前,“网络文学”在数量上已经“ +”得够多了。“ IP ”主要是指网络小说的 授权改编和衍生,中国网络文学体量实在是太庞大了,中国年轻人的想象力和创造力大 量投入网络文学中,其规模在全世界首屈一指。而且随着网络视听和传统影视市场不断 扩容,各路资本纷纷介入大量收购 IP ,网络小说身价水涨船高,据说有的网络小说 IP 估值几个亿。之后就是我们今天看到的现象,海量网络小说改编项目上马,大有“狂轰 滥炸”之势。
⑤中国社会物质生产正在经历从重“量”到重“质”的转型,文化产业也到了瓶颈 期和转型期。那种“得 IP 者得天下”的想法是非常外行的,即便从经济效益上来说, 也是十分片面的。网络小说向其他艺术形式的改编,难度并不亚于原创,丝毫不能掉以 轻心。只有“ +”得专业, “ +”得有品质,才能实现双赢,也才会产生正面的社会效益, 把票房成功转化为文化成功。
⑥我们还要认识到,相比于网络小说,影视和游戏作品影响更为广泛,网络小说改 编过程中,要在价值观表达上具有清醒意识。一部网络小说动辄上千万字,更新速度极 快,文字水平参差不齐,价值表达未经深思,此类问题普遍存在,即便所谓“大神级” 作品也不能免俗。影视改编不能停留在照搬的层次,而应当在文化品质和艺术内涵上做 出有效提升。
⑦网络小说读者主要是青少年群体,他们正处在价值观形成阶段,并不具有成熟判 断力,而且由于这个群体相对封闭,小说中存在的价值观问题往往不容易察觉和公开。 一旦推送到大银幕和小荧屏上,其价值观冲突就格外激烈,比如某些“宫斗”作品所宣 扬的“丛林法则”,某部“穿越”作品出现的“乱伦”问题,等等,都曾引起社会舆论 激烈争议。要强调的是,这种争议并不意味着社会不宽容,我们要清醒地意识到,网络 小说在“ +”的过程中,不但需要艺术表达形式的优化与提升,同时也需要改编者在思 想表达上应当具有底线意识,给人以积极健康的思想影响。
⑧大众文艺的兴盛是文艺高峰形成的广大基础,对大众文艺进行吸纳和提炼,正是 文艺高峰形成的必由之路。我们不仅要从产业的角度去看它的体量之“庞大”,更要从 文化的角度看它的影响之深刻。事物发展往往“起于青萍之末”,这个事实越早看到, 我们就越有文化自觉,就越能顺势而为,引导创作,从而繁荣社会主义文艺,筑就新时 代文艺高峰。

Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源 ) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt? You may be amazed how food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者 ). Why is this, and what are the effects(影响 ) of these long distances?
In the past, farmers sold their food in the local market so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far, because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some . For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are in winter if we want.
Some countries have to import(进口 ) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates . The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.
What’s wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a go od way of increasing international trade? I
believe these “food miles” are people for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances. We need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的 ) warming.
that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journey. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.

Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room and made them feel very happy.
The next morning,however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbor had written to complain(抱怨 ) about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent(管理员 ) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing. “Maybe we could go and visit everyone in person.” his mother said.
“What if we invited them to come here for a party instead? Dario asked.
They both loved the idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers(彩带 ) and party lights.
In the end, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to share. One woman, Mrs. Gilbert, gave Dario’s mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.
“I heard you playing the other night,” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I was afraid that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.”
Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we should apologize to you.” she said. “I didn’t realize how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.
“I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them.
“These songsare not such loud music.”
“These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be happy to play them in the evening.”
“And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said. He was already looking forward to practicing the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother’s face. It gave him a feeling of warmth and made him feel that they were home at last.

“Fast fashion” means clothes which are inexpensive but look like (26)______ (late) designs from top fashion houses. One reason for the success of the fast fashion is the rise of the social media.

Researchers studying fossils (化石 ) of the early ancestors of dogs that lived up to 40 million years ago believe the predators (捕食性动物 ) evolved as a direct consequence of climate change. The study claims the (41)______ transformed man?s best friend from a creature that behaved more like a cat, into the canine (犬 ) we know and love today.
Ancestors of dogs living in North America 40 million years ago were ambush (伏击式 ) predators — in a(n) (42)______ way to cats?. But a million years later, the thick forest that once covered the continent began to give way to grasslands.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. , according to an official report on youth violence, “i n our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence” . Given that this is the case, why aren? t students taught to manage the way they are taught to solve math problems or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is . A report indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor . For example, a fight
could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn? t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to make the speaker? s position clear. Then the two people should change
, students need to consider wh at they are hearing. This doesn? t mean trying to figure out what?s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to
sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes , the conflict often simply be comes smaller. Even if it doesn?t, thought helps both sides figure out a better solution.
After students started a conflict resolution, there has been an increase in student . Learning to resolve conflicts can help students friends, teachers, parents, bosses and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct species. The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants— the Asian elephant, African forest elephant and African savanna (热带草原 ) elephant.
Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列 ) from two fossils, mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephants and the African forest elephants have been distinct species for several million years. The separation of the two species took place around the time of the separation of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.
There has long been a debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species despite the ele phants? signi ficant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres. The savanna elephant weighs
between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the department of Animal Sciences at the University of Minois, said, “ We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation (保护 ) purpose. Since 1950 all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinct animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority for conservation purpose.”
70. One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________.
A. the Asian elephant B. the forest elephant
C. the savanna elephant D. the mastodon elephant
71. The researcher?s conclusion was based on a study of the Af rican elephant?s ________. A. DNA B. height C. weight D. population
72. Alfred Roca? s words were mainly about ________.
A. the purpose of studying African elephants
B. the conservation of African elephants
C. the way to divide African elephants into two units
D. the reason for the distinction of African elephants
73. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Naturalist? s Belief about Elephants.
B. Amazing Experiment about Elephants.
C. An Unexpected Finding about Elephants.
D. A Long scientific Debate about Elephants.

A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played. When the story of the games is analyzed they can be seen to fall into some styles. The two style s most popular with the children I interviewed were ?Platformers? and ?Beat -them-ups.? Platform games such as Sonic and Super Mario involve leaping from platform to platform, avoiding obstacles, moving on through the levels, and progressing through the different stages of the game. Beat-them-ups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content. These games involve fights between animated (动画的 ) characters. In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within children?s cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls off a cliff but walks away . Argument has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play, which is said to spill over into children?s everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after longtime exposure to these games. Playing computer games
involves feelings of intense frustration and anger which often expresses itself in aggressive ?yells? at the screen. It is not only the ?Beat -them-up? games which produce this aggression; platform games are just as frustrating when the characters lose all their ?lives? and ?die? just before the end of the level is reached. Computer gaming relies upon intense concentration on the moving images on the screen and demands great hand-to-eye coordination (协调 ). When the player loses and the words ?Game over? appear on the screen, there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer and at having made an error. This anger and aggression could perhaps be compared to the aggression felt when playing football and you take your eye off the ball and enable the opposition to score.

Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Gift certificates, or rather their high-tech new replacements, gift cards, are America? s most popular present. They spare gift-givers the tension of choosing anything specific, and receivers the horror of having to keep the result. Retailers like them too, because they are quite profitable. But like most goods in the recession (衰退 ), they have become harder to shift, prompting some radical redesigns.
Gift cards are profitable because retailers receive money for them up from, and around 10% of them are never redeemed (收回 ), according to Lew Paine of the GFK Group, a market-research firm. When people do use them, they often spend more than the amount given, on products with high margins.
But sales of gift cards were down by around 6% last year in America, to about $25 billion, partly because discounts in stores were so steep that customers saw more value in buying products directly. Bankruptcies (破产 ) among retailers also scared people away from gift cards, for fear that stores would not be around to honour them. Some financial-services companies that offer gift cards which can be used in various stores, including Visa and American Express, came under fire for charging monthly maintenance fees on unspent balances.
Analysts expect another tough holiday season for gift cards this year. Sales will be down by about 5%, projects Archstone Consulting, which studies the business. Retailers are trying to counter this decline by making gift cards more attractive. One approach is to add nifty (俏 皮的 ) packaging. Target, for example, is selling gift cards that double as wind-up toys or play recorded greetings. Other retailers have launched schemes that let people e-mail one another electronic gift certificates, which the receivers can then print out for use.
Some retailers have even given gift cards away in an effort to drum up business. Neiman Marcus, for example, sent $50 gift cards to big customers to tempt them back for further shopping. Target will give a $l0 gift card to people who spend $l00 before noon on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is considered the start of the holiday shopping season. Such handouts can be cheaper than sharp store-wide discounts, which proved destructive to profits last year. Expiration dates add a sense of urgency, which retailers are eager to promote.

“Fast fashion” means clothes which are inexpensive but look like (26)______ (late) designs from top fashion houses. One reason for the success of the fast fashion is the rise of the social media. A report found that Millennials (千禧一代) want to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they post on social media. As a result, many businesses which offer trendy and low-cost clothes grow quickly.

Dogs Used to Be More Like Cats
Researchers studying fossils (化石) of the early ancestors of dogs that lived up to 40 million years ago believe the predators (捕食性动物) evolved as a direct consequence of climate change. The study claims the (41)______ transformed man?s best friend from a creature that behaved more like a cat, into the canine (犬) we know and love today.
Ancestors of dogs living in North America 40 million years ago were ambush (伏击式) predators —in a(n) (42)______ way to cats?. But a million years later, the thick forest that once covered the continent began to give way to grasslands. This led to a(n) (43)______ in the body shape and hunting behavior of dogs, turning them into animals that no longer (44)______ their prey (猎物), but chased it down instead.
This evolutionary transition was (45)______ by the scientists who examined the elbows and teeth of 32 species of dogs that lived between 40 million and two million years ago.
“The elbow is a really good (46)______ of what carnivores (食肉动物) are doing with their forelimbs (前肢), which tells their entire (47)______ abilities,” said Brown University?s Christine Janis, who led the study.
The research was based on an analysis of fossil specimens (标本) in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. It suggests dog evolution was directly related to climate change. After all, it was not (48)______ to operate as a pursuit-and-pounce predator until there was room to run.
If predators evolved with climate change over the last 40 million years, the authors argue they may continue to (49)______ in response to the present global warming trend. In this way, the results of the study could help (50)______ how animals may look in the future.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. according to an official report on youth violence, “in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren?t students taught to manage the way they are taught to solve math problems or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is . A report indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor . For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime.
the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn?t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to make the speaker?s position clear. Then the two people should change consider what they are hearing. This doesn?t mean trying to figure out what?s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to . For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person
thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes , the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn?t, thought helps both sides figure out a better solution.
After students started a conflict resolution, there has been an increase in student friends, teachers, parents, bosses and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct species. The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant, African forest elephant and African savanna (热带草原) elephant.
Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils,mammoths and mastodons ,the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephants and the African forest elephants have been distinct species for several million years. The separation of the two species took place around the time of the separation of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.
There has long been a debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species despite the ele phants? signi ficant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the department of Animal Sciences at the University of Minois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation (保护) purpose. Since 1950 all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinct animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority for conservation purpose.”
70. One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________.
A. the Asian elephant B. the forest elephant
C. the savanna elephant D. the mastodon elephant
71. The researche r?s conclusion was based on a study of the African elephant?s ________.
A. DNA B. height C. weight D.
population
72. Alfred Roca?s words were mainly about ________.
A. the purpose of studying African elephants
B. the conservation of African elephants
C. the way to divide African elephants into two units
D. the reason for the distinction of African elephants
73. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Naturalist?s Belief about Elephants.
B. Amazing Experiment about Elephants.
C. An Unexpected Finding about Elephants.
D. A Long scientific Debate about Elephants.
(C)
A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played. When the story of the games is analyzed they can be seen to fall into some styles. The two styles most popular with the children I interviewed were ?Platformers? and ?Beat-them-ups.? Platform games such as Sonic and Super Mario involve leaping from platform to platform, avoiding obstacles, moving on through the levels, and progressing through the different stages of the game. Beat-them-ups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content. These games involve fights between animated (动画的) characters. In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within children?s cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls off a cliff but walks away Argument has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play, which is said to spill over into children?s everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after longtime exposure to these games. Playing computer games involves feelings of intense frustration and anger which often expresses itself in aggressive ?yells? at the screen. It is not only the ?Beat-them-up? games which produce this aggression; platform games are just as frustrating when the characters lose all their ?lives? and ?die? just before the end of the level is reached. Computer gaming relies upon intense concentration on the
moving images on the screen and demands great hand-to-eye coordination (协调). When the player loses and the words ?Game over? appear on the screen, there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer and at having made an error. This anger and aggression could perhaps be compared to the aggression felt when playing football and you take your eye off the ball and enable the opposition to score. The annoyance experienced when defeated at a computer game is what makes gaming ?addictive?: the player is determined not to make the same mistake again and to have ?one last go? in the hope of doing better next time.
Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality and who act out the violent moves of the games in fight on the playground. The problem with video games is that they involve children more than television or films and this means there are more implications for their social behavior. Playing these games can lead to anti-social behavior, make children aggressive and affect their emotional stability.
74. The best title for the passage is _______.
A. How to control anger while playing computer games
B. There is no difference between ?Platformers? and ?Beat-Them-Ups?
C. How does playing computer games affect the level of violence in children

B. When losing computer games children tend to experience frustration and anger.
C. People who have good hand-eye-coordination tend to be more violent than others.
D. The violent content in the games gets children addicted to the games.
