Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word. Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s)of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
Some of the most memorable scenes in films have revolved around money. Think of Michael Douglas【C1】______(declare)" Greed is good" in Wall Street, Leonardo DiCaprio’s share scams in The Wolf of Wall Street and, most memorably, Jimmy Stewart’s【C2】des______ attempts to save his local bank in It’s A Wonderful Life.
That Hollywood’s portrayal of finance tends towards the caricature is hardly surprising: its portrayal of most things tends towards the caricature. A realistic【C3】______(depict)of a day on a bank-trading desk, or the life of the typical fund manager, would not make for gripping viewing.
A more pertinent criticism is that Hollywood’s approach towards finance, indeed—towards capitalism in general, is almost relentlessly negative. Stewart’s banker may be the hero of It’s a Wonderful Life but his heroism stems from his opposition to the rapacious Mr. Potter. In Trading Places, we applaud【C4】______ Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd make a killing in the orange-juice futures market, but only because the result is the ruin of the villainous Duke Brothers.
Generally, the role of businessmen and financiers in films is as pantomime villains, ruthlessly pursuing profit at the【C5】______of human life. In The Poseidon Adventure, the actor Fred Sad-off, playing the shipowner’s【C6】______(represent), forces the captain to proceed at full speed without taking on extra ballast so the ship can meet its deadline: the result is that the ship capsizes when hit by a tidal wave. In Rollerball, the public’s hero-worship of James Caan’s sports star poses a threat to the power of the corporate elite, who scheme to have him【C7】______(kill). In " The Constant Gardener" , an activist played by Rachel Weisz is killed by the pharmaceutical company whose dangerous drug-testing she is trying to expose.
Even where the central character is involved in finance or business, the standard film plot has the protagonist learn that monetary rewards pale when compared with the simple pleasures of life. Richard Gere’s corporate raider is【C8】______(soft)by Julia Roberts(playing a classic "tart-with-a-heart")in Pretty Woman, as Citizen Kane Orson Welles dies alone, in a vast stately home full of the trophies of【C9】su______, still pining for the sled that represented the happiness of his childhood. The new film Steve Jobs, about the late head of Apple, depicts the tech guru as an e-motionally warped man who【C10】______far too much time fixated on the wrong things, such as computers, instead of his daughter. Despite his remarkable success and genius for innovation, the man is redeemed only when he finally recognizes that the most important job of all may be to be a dad. [br] 【C9】
