【题目】Once upon a time, there lived a rich man. He had a servant (仆人). He and the servant(仆人) loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that.

One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “Here are two bottles of poison (毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take care of them.” With these words, he went out.

【题目】In 2011, when British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera was taken away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies (自拍照). The best ones show a female monkey smiling toothily for the camera. Slater then sold the photos and they became popular on the Internet.

Nobody knew they would create a copyright battle three years later.

Last month, Wikimedia Commons put the monkey selfies online under a collection of free photos without Slater’s permission. Slater asked the website to take them down since he owns the copyright.

However, Wikimedia Foundation—the organization behind Wikimedia Commons—refused Slater’s request. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo. It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button.

What’s more, monkeys don’t own copyright. “US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source can’t ask for copyright,” said Katherine Maher, Chief Communications Officer of Wikimedia.

Slater argues that the pictures belong to him as they were taken from his camera. He said he bought the cameras; he spent a lot of money to travel to Indonesia; and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his cameras away. All these have made him the author of the picture, no matter who pushed the button. In a sense, the monkeys could be regarded as his assistant, Slater said.

As of now, there has been no result in the Monkey Selfie case. Who do you think will win this interesting battle?

【1】 What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Some monkeys grabbed Slater’s camera.

B. Slater took photos of the monkeys and sold them.

C. The photos taken by Slater became popular on the Internet.

【2】The underlined word “copyright” in the second paragraph probably means “______” in Chinese.

A. 网络 B. 版权 C. 材料

【3】The copyright battle of the photos began in ______.

A. 2011 B. 2012 C. 2014

【4】Who owns the copyright of the photos according to Wikimedia?

A. The monkeys. B. David J. Slater. C. Nobody.

【5】What is the story main about?

A. A copyright battle over photos taken by monkeys.

B. Why Wikipedia refused to take down some photos.

C. How the photos taken by monkeys became popular online.

【题目】 【1】 But I could never understand her habit of cheering while we were walking in the race.

We walked together all over the town and entered half-marathons(半马拉松), 26 miles. 2

I carried it to the starting line along. It had twenty-six cheering ideas, one for each mile. But I wasn’t really planning to slow myself down with all those ideas. I had to keep her list because I didn’t want to hurt Tina’s feelings.

3 I looked at Tina’s cheering list when I checked my watch. At the top of the list was only one word: “Yourself.” I thought it did give me a good start to the race. While I was at it, I took the chance to thank her for the strength the list brought to me. By the time I finished the second mile, my parents were cheering me on by the side of the road. It just so happened that “family” was the next on Tina’s cheering list. At that moment, I had plenty of things to be thankful for.

4 But by the time I was close to the final mile, I was nearly out of breath. I didn’t know if I could make it another mile. Then I looked at the final idea on Tina’s list in my hand: “You can make it.”

5 I had thought the cheering list would slow me down. Instead it carried me to cross the finishing line.

A. She gave me a cheering list to “talk” to me.

B. I finished the marathon in less than six hours.

C. Tina was the best speed-walker in our school.

D. I walked the first mile of the race in 12 minutes.

E. The next mile flew by, then the next and the next, each with a cheering idea.
