问题    For the last fifteen or twenty years the fashion
in criticism or appreciation of the arts have been to    【1】______
to deny the existence of any valid criteria and to                  
make the words "good" or "bad" irrelevant,                  
immaterial, and inapplicable. There is no such a                  
thing, we are told, like a set of standards first        【2】______
acquired through experience and knowledge and                  
late imposed on the subject under discussion. This       【3】______
has been a popular approach, for it relieves the critic                  
of the responsibility of judgment and the public by the  【4】______
necessity of knowledge. It pleases those resentful of                  
disciplines, it flatters the empty-minded by calling                  
him open-minded, it comforts the confused. Under         【5】______
the banner of democracy and the kind of quality                  
which our forefathers did not 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       【6】______
the producers of mass media who insist that it is the                  
public, not they, who decide what it wants to hear and   【7】______
to see, and that for a critic to say that this program is                  
bad and that program is good is pure a reflection of     【8】______
personal taste. Nobody recently bas expressed this                  
philosophy most succinctly than Dr. Frank Stanton      , 【9】______
the highly intelligent president of CBS television. At                  
a hearing before the Federal Communications                  
Commission, this phrase escaped from him under          【10】______
questioning: "One man’s mediocrity is another
man’s goed program".
【M8】
选项
答案将pure改为purely。
解析 在这里purely作状语，修饰谓语动词，因此应使用副词，例如；Love cannot exist as a duty; to tell a child that it ought to love its parents and its brothers and sisters is utterly useless，if not worse．Parents who wish to be loved must behave so as to elicit love，and must try to give their children those physical and mental characteristics which produce expansive affections．爱不能作为义务而存在；告诉儿童应该爱他的父母、兄弟和姐妹，是毫无用处的，甚至更糟。希望被爱的父母们，必须使自己所做所为能够引起爱，并且必须设法使子女们具有那些可以养成广泛爱心的身体与心理的特性。
