根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Imagine going to bed not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. 1. Today, nearly 11 percent of people on Earth suffer from hunger, according to a recent State of Food Insecurity in the World report published by the United Nations. But it turns out that this number is something to celebrate!

Though the numbers look like a lot, the number of hungry people in the world has actually decreased by about 209 million since 1992. This has been mainly due to the hard work of organizations such as the UN, the FAO and the WFP.

According to the WFP, the world produces enough food to feed the entire population of 7 billion people. 2. There are many reasons why food does not go from the producers to the consumers.

People living in poverty cannot afford nutritious foods. This makes them weaker and it is harder for them to earn money to escape from poverty and hunger. 3. An average person in the US spends just 6.6% of the income on food.

Drought is one of the most common causes of food shortage in the world. 4. In many countries, climate change is worsening the situation.

Conflicts around the world can disrupt farming and food production. Fighting forces millions of people to flee their homes. These people don’t have the means to feed themselves.

5. Food that is wasted uses up precious natural resources.

A. How can we solve the problem?

B. Each nation has its own challenges.

C. One-third of all food produced is never consumed.

D. But not everybody has access to food when they need it.

E. That is the fate of nearly 805 million people in the world.

F. Natural disasters such as flood and tropical storms can impact food output too.

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.

1.Why do writings, films, and music need protection?

A. They are very expensive.

B. They are impossible to copy.

C. It is easy to make CDs, books, and movies.

D. They are easily able to be transferred when in digital form.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of carrying out intellectual property rights?

A. Laws are not the same in all countries.

B. People do not see copying information as theft.

C. It is very hard to catch people who are breaking the law.

D. Internet service providers do not want to cooperate with the police.

3.The underlined word “insurmountable” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.

A. extremely expensive B. impossible to overcome

C. against the law D. hard to prove

4.What can be inferred from this passage?

A. Music and films will be unnecessary in the future.

B. New laws are necessary but difficult to put into practice.

C. The Internet is likely to become more important in the future.

D. Laws are just a way for greedy companies to control their products.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website. 1. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.

2. Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(横幅)GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.

3. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.

While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: 4. If you want too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.

Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long texts online. 5.

Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large files, keep the file sizes small.

Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer first.

Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building.

A. Start simply.

B. Break it into small pieces.

C. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.

D. Many websites are considered very interesting.

E. Before you start building your site, do some planning.

F. Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.

G. These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.
