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 (知识产权) more complicated.Almost every bit of information can be cut and pasted(粘贴) 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(盗窃),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.

分析 本文所以说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们说明制定新的知识产权保护法很有必要,但是这项法律实施起来仍会很困难.
解答 28.D细节理解题,根据第二段Almost every bit of information can be cut and pasted(粘贴) 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.可知随着网络的发展,著作电影和音乐等很容易通过网络以数字形式供人们免费下载,这极大的损害了创作人的合法权益,所以它们需要被保护,故选D.
29.D细节理解题根据第三段中的"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三项都是在保护知识产权时所面临的问题D项在文中没有提到,故答案选D.
30.B词义猜测题根据第三段和第四段内容可知保护知识产权面临很多障碍尽管有成功案例但是要克服这些全面保护知识产权的实际障碍几乎是不可能的由此可推断出insurmountable意为"难以克服的不能超越的"B项意为"不可能克服的"故答案选B.
31.B推理判断题根据全文可知由于网络的发展知识产权的保护受到严重挑战原有法律已解决不了日益复杂的问题;人们在用法律来维护创作人的权益时遇到了很多障碍使得维权难以真正贯彻下去由此可推断出制定新的知识产权保护法很有必要但是这项法律实施起来仍会很困难,故答案选B.
