The social purpose of the copyright (版权) system is to encourage creativity and the advancement of knowledge by giving those who make intellectual contributions a “unique right to their writings and discoveries” for limited times. Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents. The U. . Copyright Law of 1976 provides a term or the lifetime of the author plus 50 years. It recognizes that the value of written works often extends over a longer time than that of technological advances in the public area.
It is essential to register for formal copyright protection in order to have some degree of protection against the copyright of one’s works by others. The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple—an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work. No examination is made, and the copyright is immediately in force
The Copyright Office will provide on request a variety of leaflets (小册子) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered.
Those are subject to protection:
(1) Books and newspapers (3) Dramatic compositions (5) Maps (7) Sound recordings (9) Prints and labels (2) Lectures (4) Films (6) Works of art (8) Photographs (10) Musical compositions
Those are not subject to protection:
(1) Ideas (3) Government publications (2) Systems, methods and plans (4) Laws and opinions of courts
You can contact the Copyright Office (www.copyrightoffice.org) for more information.
21. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents
A. The application fee. B. The time length of protection
C. The intellectual value. D. The contribution to society.
22. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration
A. Copies of your work. B. Photos of yourself.
C. Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates.
23. According to the text, the Copyright Office may reject ________.
A. a movie about a new method of time travel
B. an original musical composition for children
C. a book about one’s opinions on American laws
D. an official document issued by the local county
B
During my first year in China, some friends who’d been around a little longer than me introduced me to the concept of “House Plant Syndrome”.
Imagine you are at a party at someone’s house. You’re hanging out when suddenly a house plant starts talking to you. Now, there are several ways you could respond to this. Perhaps you would ignore it. Perhaps you would ask the person next to you if they heard it as well. Perhaps you would try talking back to the house plant and engaging it in conversation.
I am that house plant.
The story of the talking house plant explains what can happen here when a white person unexpectedly speaks Chinese. It’s especially true with Chinese who haven’t met foreigners before.
Over time I learned to deal with House Plant Syndrome by talking without being looked at. I visited a restaurant at least once a week. Waitresses there would often stare blankly at me, not even hearing what I was saying when I tried to ask for things. So I leaned to speak clearly while looking in another direction. Without the “foreigners don’t speak Mandarin” filter, the waitresses heard and understood me easily and responded immediately.
A few years later, as my Mandarin became more fluent, and my foreign accent diminished (减少), people could hardly realize I was actually a house plant. This happened a lot with taxis. A lot of the time after I called a taxi, I would get a call from the driver, who would confirm my location. This meant I had a short conversation with the driver long before they saw me. Then I would get in the taxi, say where I wanted to go, and we would drive off in silence. Twenty seconds later, he would burst out “You speak such good Mandarin: I thought you were Chinese!”
I am rarely seen as a talking house plant anymore. The more I work on my accent and fluency, the less I am seen as a house plant. Definitely a good reason to keep working on my language!
24. What does “House Plant Syndrome” refer to
A. A cultural practice in Chinese households.
B. A disease that house plants often suffer from.
C. Foreigners’ preference for Chinese house plants.
D. Chinese people’s reaction to a foreigner speaking Chinese.
25. What caused the author to avoid eye contact with the waitresses
A. Lack of confidence in her Chinese. B. Discomfort with looking at strangers.
C. Desire to hide her identity. D. Ease of speaking Mandarin when looking away.
26. How might the taxi driver feel upon seeing the author
A. Astonished B. Embarrassed C. Confused D. Annoyed
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. The silent conversations of a foreigner in China B. The journey to reveal the secrets of language.
C. Tackling cultural challenges in China. D. Chatting with house plants.
C
Your social circle may be the reason you are overweight, a study has suggested. Experts have warned that obesity can spread through communities like a “social contagion (接触传染)”
Researchers studied hundreds of military families—who can’t choose where they lived—across the US. Their results revealed if you move to an area with a high rate of obesity. it increases your risk of becoming obese, too. For every percentage-point increase in the local obesity rate, the chances a person would be overweight or obese increased by up to six percent.
The researchers said people adopt behaviors of others subconsciously. Dr Ashlesha Datar and colleagues recruited families of US Army personnel at 38 military bases across the country. Their rates of obesity were reflective of the national rates. The study showed when assigned to bases in countries with higher rates of obesity, residents were more likely to become overweight or obese. For every single percentage-point increase in obesity rate of local people, the chances that a teenager would be overweight or obese went up by four to six percent, while the odds that a parent would be obese went up by five percent. The longer the families lived there, the more likely they were to see the weight pile on.
Dr Datar said, “Social contagion in obesity means that if more people around you are obese, then that may increase your own chances of becoming obese. Subconsciously, you are affected by what people around you are doing. We accounted for things that researchers in this field typically measure and found that shared environments did not play a critical role in explaining our results.”
Co-author Dr Nancy Nicosia said, “Although we could not measure social contagion directly, our findings support a role for social contagion in obesity.”
Obesity can be caused by many variables, and the association has been challenging for scientists to explain. One possibility is that people with similar interests and backgrounds tend to locate in similar areas. Another explanation may be that people are all influenced by the shared environment, such as opportunities for exercising and healthy eating. A third explanation may be that obesity is transmitted through social influence.
28. Which of the following is false
A. One is more likely to become overweight in areas with a higher rate of obesity.
B. Social environment has nothing to do with being obese.
C. The length of time you stay in an area may affect your physical condition.
D. The researchers have confirmed that there might be connection between environment and obesity.
29. What does the underlined word “odds” mean in the third paragraph
A. Evidence. B. Rate. C. Possibility. D. Difficulty
30. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A health magazine. B. A police report.
C. An advertisement D. A government information booklet.
31. What can we know from the passage
A. People are easily affected by others.
B. The chance of being fat increases if you have a good friend
C. Humans like to live an imitation of somebody else’s life.
D. Shared interests can affect your health condition.
D
The problem with a catchy name is that sometimes it catches on too well. Take the hygiene hypothesis (卫生说) outlined in 1989 by David Strachan of St George’s, a hospital and medical school in London. It suggests that the rise of allergenic (致敏的) sensitivity observed in rich countries over the course of the 20th century may have been caused by a shift from rural to urban living, so that children are no longer routinely exposed to farm animals.
Dr Strachan’s work still has much to recommend it. What the catchy label has encouraged, however, is a false belief that cleanliness is not necessarily a health benefit. In reality, says Thomas Marrs, an allergist at King’s College, London, hygiene is usually about bacteria (细菌) causing infection—and the bacteria that may be beneficial are different from those which do that. But it is plain to see why alternative descriptions, such as “the high turnover and diversity hypothesis” or the “the microbial deprivation hypothesis (微生物剥夺假说)”, have not caught on, more accurate though they may be.
In an attempt to collect further data on the matter, Hisao Okabe of Fukushima Medical University and his team have looked through the Japan Environment and Children’s Study, which tracked over 100,000 births between 2019 and 2022.
Pursuing the animal connection, they looked for correlations between household pet ownership before and immediately after a child’s birth, and any food allergies found in that child’s first three years.
Of the 66,000 or so children they chose to look at, 22% had been born into households with pets. Children in households with dogs, the researchers found, had lower rates than average of allergies to eggs, milk and nuts. Those cohabiting with cats seemed more tolerant of eggs, wheat and beans. However, children whose parents kept turtles (龟) appeared unaffected. And, curiously, those exposed to hamsters (仓鼠) appeared more likely than average to be allergic to nuts.
Confirming or denying this will need more study. Nevertheless, Dr Okabe’s contribution is an interesting addition to the debate about Dr Strachan’s brainchild.
32. What does the hygiene hypothesis suggest
A. Children in rich countries are more likely to have allergies.
B. Urban living leads to less exposure to allergens.
C. Allergies are linked to bacteria that cause infection.
D. Farm animals reduce childhood allergies.
33. What is the author’s attitude to the microbial deprivation hypothesis
A. Doubtful B. Favorable C. Critical D. indifferent
34. Okabe’s research aimed to find out the relationship between ________.
A. pet ownership and uncomfortable childbirth B. pet ownership and child food allergies
C. environments and animals D. food and allergies
35. Which animals help fight allergies
A. Dogs and cats B. Dogs and turtles C. Cats and hamsters D. Turtles and hamsters.

What’s the purpose of building patience abilities In a word, happiness, better relationships and more success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully. 36 Thus, when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.
Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience. We, human beings, are still constructed with our old reptilian (爬行) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival. On the emotional survival side, we want our way to get ahead, to achieve, and to “look good”. Let’s just face it. 37 So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger, impatience, blaming and shaming. We all have them. And we can grow beyond them.
Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions—we try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set. 38 .
Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don’t really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest—but very present—painful feelings. 39 But to really care for ourselves, get curious about what’s actually happening at the moment inside you. Focusing on what’s actually happening, you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance.
40 When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing, and that, “Sure, this is understandable, this is what happens to me when I’m bothered.” You can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this; this is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.”
A. Practice positive self-talk.
B. So the solution to pain is an inside job.
C. Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.
D. Don’t forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.
E. We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.
F. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely addictive.
G. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances.

Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, his lessons would go off well on one of those “what’s the meaning of life” discussions.

“Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph 49 in a dusty cigar box or know the classic family 50 about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us really know who they were 51 three generations, our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this happen to you ”
“Here’s a better question. 52 three generations. 53 you sitting in this room, now it’s your great-grandchildren. Or will you be forgotten, too Is your life going to be a 54 or an example What legacy will you leave The choice is yours. Class dismissed.” Nobody 55 from their seat for a good five minutes.

In a refreshing shift from conventional methods, some post-90 teachers in China are using memes (表情包), cute comments, and personalized feedback in their grading practices, 56 (receive) praise from parents and students alike. This innovative approach in education is reshaping the way students receive feedback on 57 (they) exams and assignments, making the learning process more engaging and enjoyable.
Gone are the days of impersonal and serious 58 (comment). Teachers are now using more conversational language in their evaluations, addressing students as “you” or “dear” instead of the formal “the students”. This change in tone creates a more personal and direct connection, fostering a positive learning environment.
The use of memes and hand-drawn images in marking papers 59 (be) not just about adding a touch of fun; it serves as a motivational tool for students. This trend has caught the attention of the online community, 60 many expressing their wish to have such creative and supportive teachers
61 adoption of memes and personalized comments in grading represents a significant shift in educational practices in China. It not only aids in reducing the stress and pressure 62 (associate) with academic performance but also builds a 63 (strong) relationship between teachers and students. This method reflects a broader movement toward more empathetic and student-centered teaching 64 the focus is on encouragement and individual growth rather than solely on grades.
As these innovative practices gain 65 (popular), they promise to transform the educational experience for students, making learning more enjoyable and less frightening.

Caught in a flood
Mary and her parents were downstairs in the living room. Mary was looking through the windows at the endless rain outside. It had been raining non-stop for three days. She had never seen a storm this bad. It was making her nervous. The wind roared and the min beat on the roof and windows. Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, while Mum was putting their important documents and disaster supplies into a bag.
“Mum, Dad,” said Mary suddenly, “I think we should leave here right away!”
“No,” said Dad. “It’s too late: The radio says the city has already been flooded.”
“We can drive our car through the floodwater. Let’s leave! I’m really seared!” cried Mary. “We can’t do that, honey” explained Mum, “otherwise the moving water could wash the car away!”
Mary walked to the door. She was curious to see how much water there was outside.
“Don’t open the door!” shouted Mum and Dad at the same time. “The water may flood in!”
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open. Mum waved to Mary to sit on the sofa. “Mary, don’t worry. Everything’s going to be OK,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary. Her voice was calm, but Mary could tell she was worried too.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside. What could they do

Recently a survey was carried out about ways to relieve stress. According to the survey, 80%students relieve their stress by listening to music, with 65%, 40%, and 30% by watching videos, doing sports and chatting respectively.

Fewer students will choose sports and chatting. which are socializing and more healthy, However, Senior Three students are under great pressure from studying, which will determine their future.

Besides, teachers and parents should be comforting and good tempered, securing a safe, easy and warm environment for them.
读后续写参考答案:
Paragraph 1:
All of a sudden, the floodwater forced the door open. Shocked, frightened and extremely scared, Mary saw the floodwaters pouring into the room, leaving the dinner table upside down. She didn’t know what to do, trembling, and turned to her mum for help. An idea occurred to Mum that they had to go upstairs, because they had no choice but to save themselves at that moment and it would be of great danger to stay in place before rescue came to them. Dad also rushed to the second floor without hesitation, not forgetting to take the bag containing important documents and disaster supplies.
Paragraph 2:
Being upstairs, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, the floodwater had flooded into the whole living room downstairs. They were all nervous and seared to see the floodwater rise further. Fortunately, what relieved them a little was that they prepared enough food and water supplies in advance. The rain was still raining non-stop. Mary and Mum became increasingly nervous while Dad kept giving them comfort and encouragement. Later, they learned from the radio that the government was organizing rescue groups to save people caught in their home by boat. Thinking they would be saved, , they couldn’t be more excited. Until then, the easiness and warmth welled up in every corner of the room, seeming to make the floodwater outside less frightening outside. It doesn’t matter what you did when you were faced with tough situation, and what matters most is that you made a wise decision and well prepared.
