The social purpose of the copyright system is to encourage creativity and the advance-
ment of knowledge by giving those who make intellectual （智力的） 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. S. Copyright Law of 1976 pro-
vides 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） describ-
ing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be
registered.

（3）Dramatic compositions （4）Films
（5）Maps （6）Works of art
（7）Sound recordings （8）Photographs
（9）Prints and labels （10）Musical compositions
Those are not subject to protection:
（1）Ideas （2）Systems, methods and plans
（3）Government publications （4）Laws and opinions of courts
You can contact the Copyright Office （www.copyrightoffice.org） for more informa-
tion.

Ernest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the
audience of a BBC show, and ask Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady.
This encounter re-emerged in a BBC's programme recently.
At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public es-
tate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother
Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
4 / 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has
been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black cap-
tain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking
the glass ceiling.
Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status （地位） as a
“Thatcherite journey". And he says it began by asking the woman herself. "To this day it
still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment . Something
about her connected with me. "
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. "I think it's rather a
praise, don't you?" she said. "Because so often people have said to me if you're in your job
you've got to be soft and warm and human, but you've got to have a touch of steel. "
Owusu recalls the moment, "I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not
the camera. She welcomed the question saying you've got to be firm in this world. And
that stuck with me. "
After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became "a little hero in Brixton for a
good three months". Owusu added, "It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have
opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you
wouldn't otherwise have done. "
24. What do we know about Owusu when he was 13?
A. He met with Thatcher twice. B. He joined a famous golf club.
C. He hosted a BBC's programme. D. He lived at the bottom of society.
25. What do the underlined words "sliding-door moment" in paragraph 4 probably
mean?
A. Turning point. B. Important decision.
C. Social status. D. Remarkable achievement.
26. Based on the text, what made a big difference to Owusu?
A. Others' treating him equally at work.
B. Others' voting him a hero in Brixton.
C. Thatcher's efforts to preserve his dignity.
D. Thatcher's faith in the necessity of toughness.
5 / 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

C. A Life-changing Meeting D. A Status-improving Tale
C
Since the last ice age, humans have cleared nearly half of the earth's forests and
grasslands for agriculture. With the world population expanding, there's ever-increasing pres-
sure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as
Yakima County, Washington, it's created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels
（板） consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1, 700
acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of
losing cropland.
A recent study from the University of California, however, shows how farmers may
soon harvest crops and energy together. One researcher, Majdi Abou Najm, explains that
visible light spectrum （光谱） can be separated into blue and red light waves, and their
photons （光子） have different properties. Blue ones have higher energy than red ones.
While that gives blue light what is needed to generate power, it also results in higher tem-
peratures. "From a plant angle, red photons are the efficient ones, " says Abou Najm.
"They don't make the plant feel hot. "
A goal of the study is to create a new generation of solar panels. He sees potential in
the organic solar cells, which come from carbon-based materials. Thin and transparent, the
cells are applied like a film onto various surfaces. This new technology could be used to
develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red
light on to crops planted directly below. These panels could also provide shade for heat-
sensitive fruits during the hottest part of the day.
By 2050, we'll have two billion more people, and we'll need more food and more en-
ergy. By maximizing the solar spectrum, "we're making full use of an endlessly sustainable
resource, "says Abou Najm. "If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the
sky is the limit on how efficient we can be. "
28. What problem does the first paragraph focus on?
A. Losing cropland to solar panels. B. Distribution of the world population.
6 / 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Reduction in forests and grasslands. D. Competing for land between farm-
ers.
29. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Generation of solar power. B. Hot weather increasing efficiency.
C. Blue photons having higher energy. D. Separation of visible light spectrum.
30. What do we know about the organic solar cells?
A. They make fruits heat-sensitive. B. They can cool down in hot days.
C. They allow red light to pass through. D. They can store carbon-based materi-
als.
31. What does Abou Najm think of the future of the new solar panels?
A. Limited. B. Promising. C. Uncertain. D. Challenging.
D
"Anxiety. "The very word invites discomfort. Its effects-shortness of breath, pounding
heart, muscle tension--are outright upsetting. But, as a clinician, I find that we tend to miss
out on many valuable opportunities presented by this human emotion. In and of itself, anxi-
ety is not deadly, nor is it a disease. Quite the contrary: it is an indicator of brain and
sensory health. Once we accept that it is a normal, though uncomfortable, part of life, we
can use it to help us.
We all know working out at the gym is hard. By nature, a "good workout" is uncom-
fortable, since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do. The
sweet spot of exercise is always a somewhat challenging experience. Similarly, if you want to
be emotionally stronger, you need to face some tension. For example, one effective treat-
ment for fear is exposure therapy （疗法）， which involves gradually encountering things
that make one anxious, reducing fear over time.
Humans are social creatures. When my patients learn to open up to their partners
about their anxieties, they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness.
Also, as international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches, when we express our need
for connection during challenging moments （e. g. , "I'm having a hard time right now and
could really use your support"）, it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into
love.
7 / 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司From time to time, we find ourselves at the end of our rope. Our responsibilities pile
up, our resources break down, and we feel uncomfortably anxious-what we're experiencing
is called stress. Simply put, the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources,
just like a set of scales （天平） going out of balance. Focusing on work and pretending
everything is OK only leads to disastrous results. Medical treatment for stress may function
for a while, but it tends to make things worse in the long run. The only solution to deal
with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales.
32. What does the author say about anxiety?
A. It is an invitation to diseases.
B. It indicates stable mental health.
C. It costs us many valuable chances.
D. It is a natural emotional expression.
33. Why does the author mention "good workout" in paragraph 2?
A. To prove how exercise influences emotions.
B. To suggest an effective way to challenge limits.
C. To explain how anxiety builds emotional strength.
D. To show a positive connection between mind and body.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The key to closeness is partners' support.
B. Sharing anxieties improves relationships.
C. Humans are defined by their social nature.
D. Expressing feelings keeps us off anxieties.
35. According to the last paragraph, how can we deal with stress?
A. Devote more energy to our work. B. Increase resources. available to us.
C. Seek professional medical treatment. D. Master advanced mathematical skills.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Once a year in a small mountain village, the Mande people gather to hear the folk
stories of their traditions. The man playing an instrument called Sosso-Bala while singing is
the storyteller. He holds all the folk knowledge of the Mande people.
Most of us don't have a musical instrument that ties us together, but we have someone
in our lives who's the keeper of our folk knowledge. Often it's a grandmother, who keeps
all our stories of wisdom ready to tell upon request. 3 6 What's the best way to get
a baby to sleep? Where do I come from? What's my moral compass? The stories provide
an answer, and it's useful to speak with someone who knows how things are. done.
37 Researchers have documented folk knowledge in other species-whales return-
ing to parts of the sea that they'd abandoned a generation before; monkeys. that communi-
cate hunting skills to their offspring （后代）. Folk knowledge is not only culture, it's also
survival. 3 8
Traditionally, we share it in small units--families sharing around a dinner table. 39
Look at any social media, and you'll see folk knowledge at work and at play. It's exploded
as we're trained to look for information online, rather than from within. In this case,
chances are that our questions can be answered with misinformation.
But we don't gather once a year to reality check our "folk stories" as the Mande peo-
ple do; nor do we center our folk traditions around a musical instrument. The internet has no
reality except its own and, left unchecked, its wisdom has no rhythm （节奏）. 4 0
A. It's just chaos.
B. This is why we do it.
C. Human wisdom has been passed down through generations.
D. The stories can be useful for dealing with all sorts of doubts.
E. Nowadays, folk knowledge has expanded to digital networks.
F. Now the internet has made valuable folk wisdom at your fingertips.
G. Recently, we discovered that this very human practice isn't limited to humans.

When we are little kids, birthday parties are momentous occasions. They are our time
to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts,
and so on.
After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought
the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a
theme for his seventh birthday party-he went with his favorite: the police! And all he
wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his
friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the
party due to various reasons.
Allen's mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party
and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room? He had been looking forward
to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it.
Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at
the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That's when
he decided to save the day--he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and pro-
tect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most
amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. "We like
to be involved in our community. It's not just about enforcing （执行） the law. We like to
be there in the good times as wel, " he explained to Rachel.
