　　Sitting in a back room at Londons Barbican ans center, which is hosting the Game On Exhibition,Henry Jenkins delivers a line that would have jaws dropping in any gathering of the rich and famous.

　　I think games are going to be the most significant art form of the 2lst century, he says.

　　It is, you might think, exactly what would be expected of someone introduced as a professor of gaming.

　　But Jenkins is much more than that. He is the director of a graduate program in comparative media studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, which also covers film, television and other mass media. Games are a significant but not the primary focus of the program, he says.

　　Our approach has been to integrate games more fully into the study of media, rather than apply them in one specialized field.

　　The problem is that video games have yet to achieve respectability. They are often seen roughly of equal status with pornography 高中的校园屠杀案 它看起来确实像是某个点射游戏中的场景 爆发以后，媒体的疯狂情绪达到新的高潮。

　　他说： 问题不在于视频游戏是否暴力 显然所有故事叙述传统都包含了暴力和侵略的因素，问题在于： 游戏对暴力问题是怎么看的? 中世纪的史诗充满了打打杀杀的描写，还有许多流血事件的描述，这些东西要使用作主流游戏标题的话，是绝对通不过的。

　　电影的不同之处是，打斗会定期停止，于是你埋下头来，回忆起有谁已经丧命。这样，你就被迫思考暴力带来的后果。游戏也在开始引入相似的元素，比如为死者哀悼。游戏业可以对暴力问题提出一些有见地的看法。

　　测试题

　　1.According to Jenkins, games are________________of the graduate program in comparative media studies but are not its primary concentrtion.

　　2.If you are caught playing at video games, you will feel ashamed, because they are often regarded as something like_____________.

　　5.Jenkins thinks that the difference between films and games is that in films you will be compelled to consider________________.

　　答案详解

　　1.

　　根据comparative media studies查找到第4段。

　　解析：第4段末句讲到Jenkins说游戏是这个项目的一个重要部分，但并不是主要的研究内容。而此句中的the program指的是上句中提到的比较传媒研究领域的一个研究生项目，所以本题答案为a significant focus。

　　2.

　　根据caught和playing at video games查找到第6段最后两句。

　　解析：第6段末句提到，玩视频游戏时要是被别人发现了，你就会觉得问心有愧似的，原因是上一句说的 人们常常把视频游戏看做是与色情文学一样的东西 ，因此，本题答案为pornography。

　　3.

　　根据try to start a conversation查找到第7段。

　　解析：第7段末句Jenkins写道他们试图发起一场有关性别、有关开拓女孩游戏市场等等的讨论，可是所有媒体仅仅只想讨论视频游戏中的暴力问题。题干中的focus on为原文该句中talk about的同义转换，所以答案为video-game violence。

　　4.根据题干中的blood-letting和mainstream game title查找到倒数第2段末句。

　　解析：空白处需要填人谓语成分，题干是对原文末句的同义改写，题干中的it指代原文中的such stuff,所以原文该句中would后的never get approved为答案。

　　5.

　　根据题干中的the difference和films查找到原文末段前两句。

　　解析：空白处需要名词或名词短语，题干是关天电影不同于视频游戏的地方，与原文末段前两句的内容相对应，题干中的compelled对应原文中的forces，而consider是think about的同义替换，所以其后的宾语the consequences of violence为答案。
