9.There have always been laws against copying other people's ideas.However,when copying was only limited to copying something by hand,problems were solved easily.The solution was always the destruction or removal of the copy.Nowadays,the rise of the Internet has made the issue of intellectual property (知識產(chǎn)權(quán)) more complicated.
Almost every bit of information can be cut and pasted(粘貼) with a few clicks of a mouse.Many art forms such as writings,films,and music need new protection to ensure that people do not simply transfer them for free.Online illegal copying has been blamed for a huge reduction in the sales of many records because it is hard to convince people to buy something that they can get for free.Even the ideas behind traditional games,such as Scrabble,have been used without the owners'permission.
Old laws have been struggling to keep up.While music companies have been successful in persuading courts that action should be taken against people who illegally download music,the law is difficult to carry out.Furthermore,intellectual property rights vary widely from country to country,so it's up for debate which laws apply.Finally,there is the fact that many people simply do not see the act as theft(盜竊),since once the work has been digitized there is no clear physical object to steal in the first place.
All of these issues mean that companies involved with intellectual property-ideas or easily digitized information-are fighting desperately to get people to pay for the information they use,rather than paying for an object like a CD that they use.While the companies have sometimes been successful,the practical barriers to full protection seem insurmountable.
Finally,all that concerned parties can do is hope that their few successes scare off others and try to find new ways of making money.

28.Why do writings,films,and music need protection?D
A.They are very expensive.
B.They are impossible to copy.
C.It is easy to make CDs,books,and movies.
D.They are easily able to be transferred when in digital form.
29.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of carrying out intellectual property rights?
D
A.Laws are not the same in all countries.
B.People do not see copying information as theft.
C.It is very hard to catch people who are breaking the law.
D.Internet service providers do not want to cooperate with the police.
30.The underlined word"insurmountable"in Paragraph 4means"B"
A.extremely expensive                  B.impossible to overcome
C.a(chǎn)gainst the law                       D.hard to prove
31.What can be inferred from this passage?B
A.Music and films will be unnecessary in the future.
B.New laws are necessary but difficult to put into practice.
C.The Internet is likely to become more important in the future.
D.Laws are just a way for greedy companies to control their products.

分析 本文所以說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章向我們說明制定新的知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護法很有必要,但是這項法律實施起來仍會很困難.

解答 28.D細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第二段Almost every bit of information can be cut and pasted(粘貼) with a few clicks of a mouse.Many art forms such as writings,films,and music need new protection to ensure that people do not simply transfer them for free.可知隨著網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)展,著作電影和音樂等很容易通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)以數(shù)字形式供人們免費下載,這極大的損害了創(chuàng)作人的合法權(quán)益,所以它們需要被保護,故選D.
29.D細節(jié)理解題根據(jù)第三段中的"the law is difficult to carry out""intellectual property rights vary widely from country to country""there is the fact that many people simply do not see the act as theft"和"once the work has been digitized there is no clear physical object to steal in the first place"可知A、B、C三項都是在保護知識產(chǎn)權(quán)時所面臨的問題D項在文中沒有提到,故答案選D.
30.B詞義猜測題根據(jù)第三段和第四段內(nèi)容可知保護知識產(chǎn)權(quán)面臨很多障礙盡管有成功案例但是要克服這些全面保護知識產(chǎn)權(quán)的實際障礙幾乎是不可能的由此可推斷出insurmountable意為"難以克服的不能超越的"B項意為"不可能克服的"故答案選B.
31.B推理判斷題根據(jù)全文可知由于網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)展知識產(chǎn)權(quán)的保護受到嚴重挑戰(zhàn)原有法律已解決不了日益復(fù)雜的問題;人們在用法律來維護創(chuàng)作人的權(quán)益時遇到了很多障礙使得維權(quán)難以真正貫徹下去由此可推斷出制定新的知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護法很有必要但是這項法律實施起來仍會很困難,故答案選B.

點評 考查學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

I am a fully participating member of society these days.My horses and I made it through a master-s degree.I may have made it otherwise,but I'm not sure.I feel I owe my life to the horses and I try to give it back to them every day.They have given me the best gift I could ever imagine,my life.

2.When he was driving home one evening on country road,he saw an old lady,stranded(拋錨的)on the side of the road.He stopped in front of her car and got out.Even with the smile on his face,she was worried.He looked poor and hungry.He knew how she felt.He said,"I am here to help you,madam.Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm?By the way,my name is Joe."

    She drove off.A few miles down the road the lady saw a small restaurant.She went in.The waitress had a sweet smile,and was nearly eight months pregnant(懷孕的).The old lady wondered how someone like her who seemed poor could be so kind to a stranger.Then she remembered Joe.After the lady finished her meal,the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill.But she stepped right out the door.
