26、al print media forge a working relationship with news websites in the digital age? This is a question that both sides need to consider from a long-term viewpoint. The conviction(定罪) of a software developer for going against the property rights of the Beijing News by using what the newspaper had publ
27、ished on its iPad service reveals only a tip of the iceberg when it comes to the illegal use of print medias content by news websites. In this case, the software developer used content published by 60 papers without their knowledge. The Beijing News won the case and the intellectual property rights
28、violator was ordered to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation. If anything, this can be considered a minor victory for the Beijing News, compared to its three similar suits over the past decade.Yet, the Beijing News is alone in the fight. Other media outlets choose to turn a blind eye to the piracy becau
29、se they wouldnt bother to take the lot of time and energy for the lawsuit with a likely compensation that might not be enough to cover the costs for winning the case.Considering this situation, print media and news websites must work out a way to cooperate in a manner that will benefit both. In the
30、long run, it will be impossible and impractical for news websites to live on print media. With the progress protecting intellectual property rights in recent years, there will be no way for them to use the content free of charge all the time. They must find a way to cooperate with traditional print
31、media in such a way that they can legally use their resources.For the part of print media outlets, they must rise up to protect their rights for their own existence. There should be an environment to make it very costly for whoever threatens intellectual property rights. Then most print media organi
32、zations could afford to bring violators to court. On the other hand, costly, time-consuming and troublesome as such suits are, more print media must rise up so that more pressure will put on both the violators and the courts. Then they will be able to improve the environment for themselves and break
33、 the illegal cycle.56. How many suits has Beijing News ever lodged(提起)?A. Only one.B. Exactly three.C. At least four.D. More than five.57. Which of the following can be a reason for there to be few such suits?A. The court doesnt pay much attention to such boring suits as usually last a long time.B.
34、Print media outlets dont think it worth their efforts.C. Engineers on the news websites are usually far cleverer to win such cases.D. There are few examples of winning such suits.58. Why does the author insist that more news media should rise up?A. They can receive a certain compensation for their i
35、ntellectual property rights.B. They should try their best to trouble the courts with more pressure.C. Their joint efforts can lead to a better environment for their own existence.D. The piracy of the news websites is no longer tolerable.59. Whats probably the meaning of the underlined word “violator
36、” in the third paragraph?A. Somebody who makes a lot of money against the law.B. Somebody who keeps something secret from others.C. A person who is determined to publish news illegally.D. A person who does something against the law.BHave you ever lost your car on a parking lot? You dont have a clue
37、where your car is after shopping. Then you start walking around clicking on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be annoying, especially on a hot sunny day.No, you neednt install(安装) an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. Thats too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly fee to
38、 use it. But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based company has created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, which could be exactly what youre looking for!What is it?Its called TrackR. It is a state-of-the-art tracking device
39、the size of a coin. Its changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives.（60题）How does it work?Its easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and youre ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire pr
40、ocess of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less.You can attach it to your keys, briefcase, wallet, your latest tech gadgets and anything else you dont want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to locate your missing item in seconds.（60题）If you forget where you have parked your car, pull out your sma
41、rtphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “find device” button on the screen and the app will tell you the exact spot of the last known location of the TrackR.What else can I do with TrackR?The device is small and unnoticeable enough that you can attach it to your pet. Put it on their collar, and
42、the issue of searching for them when they run away to nearby places will be over! Youll never waste a minute searching the whole house for it.TrackR even comes with a double-sided glue so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat. Track down and punish the thieves who steal your expens
43、ive things!How much does it cost?Youre probably thinking that this device is very expensive. False! TrackR only costs $29! Thats a small price to pay for peace of mind, isnt it?Where can I buy one?You can buy it directly from the companys website by clicking here https:/buy.thetrackr.co/gu/special-o

45、sticsC. listing advantagesD. making comparisons62. Where is this passage most likely taken from?A. A research report. B. A website. C. A personal blog. D. A journal.CRobinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28
46、years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is
47、 based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ships captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to ge
48、t the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ships captain was grateful to Selki
49、rk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirks camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes ar
50、e near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate. Historians believe Selki
51、rk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book.63. Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island?A. Be
52、cause he had quarrels with the crew members.B. Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water.C. Because he wanted to go on an adventure there.D. Because he thought the ship he was on was in danger.64. We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 _.A. lost its way w
53、hile sailingB. was running out of food upon arrival C. was being navigated by SelkirkD. lacked fresh water upon arrival65. How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him, according to archaeologists?A. By asking the crew members on the ships. B. By sending messages to the ships captains.C. By wat
54、ching from his shelter high on the island.D. By using a piece of equipment used to navigate.66. The author wrote the text to _.A. explain the origin of Robinson Crusoe B. promote sales to Robinson CrusoeC. criticise Alexander Selkriks deedsD. praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspirationDA good jo
55、ke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “Theres more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an incredible i
56、ce-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through,” Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid. told The Guardian, “I could never speak to peo
57、ple on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American
58、 comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didnt think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find under
59、standing jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didnt get, I just laughed along.”In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sen
60、se of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while Britons use ironybasically, saying something they dont mean to make a jokeevery day, people in the US dont see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more
61、obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.67. The writer quoted the sentence, “Theres more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.” to show that_.A. making jokes can help you make friends with native speak
62、ersB. local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better.C. understanding jokes requires a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar.D. to understand its jokes, youd better learn the culture.68. What can we guess about Hannah Ashley? A. She feels confident in using Spanish.B. She believe
63、s that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.C. She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor.D. She feels that not being able to share their humor makes her seem boring to Spanish people.69. Joe Wong is used as an example to _.A. show that there are cul
64、tural differences in humorB. prove that it can be difficult to translate jokesC. suggest that bilingual people have no problems in making people laughD. show that the expressing ability affects the sense of humor70. From the article, we can learn that _.A. jokes about sports are the most difficult o

78、d Xi Jinping. Chinese tourism abroad has grown rapidly. It is reported that 100 million citizens travelled abroad last year, and that number is expected to double by 2020 as individual wealth grows along with the economy. Yet the awareness of proper manners has not grown as fast as the number of tou
79、rists. Some Chinese tourists have been heavily criticized in recent years for misbehaving while travelling abroad, for reasons such as being noisy, jumping queues and damaging cultural relics. Recently, incidents like Chinese tourists drawing graffiti(涂鸦) in an ancient Egyptian temple have severely

In response, the Chinese government has made great efforts to educate Chinese tourists on appropriate behavior when travelling both abroad and within China.【写作内容】1用约 30 个单词写出上文概要；2用约 120 个单词阐述你对文明出游的看法，并用2-3个理由或论据支撑你的看法。【写作要求】1写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2作文中不能出现真实姓名和

Consequently, the government is taking action to ensure a positive image to the outside world.The media is full of examples of people behaving badly when travell

Unfortunately a small but very visible minority of tourists frequently ignore local traditions and act in loud, overbearing and ill-mannered ways.Such behavior causes damage on different levels. It hurts the feelings of local people and creates ill-will among them. In extreme cases, that
