电影业
<p> 2015复习正是强化复习阶段，在考研英语中占了40分，所以考研英语阅读是英语科目中重要的一项。名师老师曾建议过考研生需要坚持每天泛读10-15分钟的英文原刊。强烈推荐了杂志《经济学人》.杂志中的文章也是考研英语的主要材料来源.希望考研考生认真阅读，快速提高考研英语阅读水平。 <span word="The">The</span> <span word="film">film</span>

鲁伯特默多克是一个不介意师心自用的人。在20世纪80年代他曾试图控制华纳兄弟电影制片厂的母公司，但失败了。本周有消息称默多克的21世纪福克斯公司出价800亿竞购该公司的现代化身时代华纳公司，其同时拥有有线电视网络，如<span word="CNN">CNN</span>和<span word="HBO">HBO</span>。默多克被断然拒绝了，但是他什么时候才会死心? <span

直到最近，这一交易才变得比原来简单。去年默多克将福克斯公司从其前母公司资讯集团分离出来，且本月初，时代华纳公司的杂志部门时代公司转变为独立的上市公司。合并后的福克斯和时代华纳公司将获得更多与其客户讨价还价的资本，包括<span word="Comcast">Comcast</span>这样的付费电视运营商到<span word="Netflix">Netflix</span>这样的在线分销商。

如果合并真的发生，也不一定是与福克斯公司。时代华纳公司的总裁杰夫比克斯也许是耍了欲擒故纵的把戏，等待着是否有其他的求购公司出现。作为竞争对手的一家媒体公司的负责人揣摩62岁的比克斯正切除其公司的不良部分，故意保留其最诱人的部分，以期能将其公司卖掉并退休。至于83岁的默多克在奋斗了30个年头后，也许还未曾得到任何一样他梦寐以求之物。 词语解释 1.<span
