The social purpose of the copyright system is to encourage creativity and the advancement 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 provides 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) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered.
Those are subject to protection:
(1) Books and newspapers (2) Lectures (3) Dramatic compositions (4) Films (5) Maps (6) Works of ant (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 (wwcoprightfice.org) for more information.
1. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents
A. The application fee. B. The duration of protection.
C. The intellectual value. D. The contribution to society.
2. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration
A. Copies of your work. B. Photos of yourself.
C Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates.
3. According to the text, the Copyright Office may reject ______.
A. a movie about a new method of time travel
B. an original musical composition for children
C. a book about one’s opinions on American laws
D. an official document issued by the local county

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 estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
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 captain 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.”
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Art of Dialogue B. The Power of Confidence
C. A Life-changing Meeting D. A Status-improving Tale
C
Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows.
“It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.”
The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans.
The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.”
Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.”
8. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods
A. They fall short of expectations.
B. They are more accurate than before.
C. They are distinct from each other.
D. They show consistent conclusions.
9. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons.
C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments.
10. What did the researchers find about the SCG
A. It is in charge of motor system.
B. It can be measured by the GDS.
C. Dancing slows down its functioning.
D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal.
11. What is the best title of the text
A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen
C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being
D
Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes.
This brain-inspired AI model can perceive moving scenes by simulating how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize small changes over time.
To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene.
Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models.
Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect.
Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren't possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.”
12. What does the underlined word “simulating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Copying. B. Inspiring. C. Demonstrating. D. Recognizing.
13. MovieNet is trained ________.
A. to integrate dynamic images B. to increase visual inputs
C. to feed on information pieces D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons
14. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet
A. Its powerful data storage.
B Its low energy consumption.
C. Its control of medical diseases.
D. Its improvement on drug effects.
15. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph
A. Biology brings us financial profits.
B. Living organisms can outperform AI.
C. AI can assist in biological development.
D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising.

第三节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’ve always loved the mountains, and my latest adventure was the Rupin Pass journey in the Indian Himalayas — a tough but amazing one. This high-altitude (高海拔) track takes you through remote villages, thick forests, and snowy ridges (山脉), showing some of the most beautiful views in the Himalayas.
There’s something special about hiking with friends, facing challenges while surrounded by nature’s beauty. Every step brings something new — icy rivers, tall cliffs, and friendly shepherds (牧羊人) with their sheep. The best moment came when we finally reached Rupin Pass (4,650 meters), looking out at the endless mountains ahead.
But it wasn’t easy. On the second day, I got sick from the high altitude. My head hurt, my legs felt heavy, and every climb made me dizzy. I had to stop often, struggling to catch my breath while my backpack weighed me down. By the time we reached our shelter for the night — a small family-run hotel with ground-level toilets, spiders, and no showers — I was completely exhausted.
While the others drank tea, I sat outside, feeling frustrated and weak. My head still ached from the altitude, and my legs felt like they were made of stone. I stared at my dirty hiking boots, feeling completely defeated. For the first time on this journey, I seriously considered turning back — maybe I could ask a local guide to help me return to the nearest village in the morning. But then I looked around — the snowy peaks turned golden in the sunset, wild horses ran through the fields, and a river shone far below. It was so beautiful that I knew I couldn’t give up.
The hotel owner was really nice. He gave me hot water and some medicine. He also suggested that I bring some oxygen just in case, and I did so, which turned out to be life-saving.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A good night’s sleep helped me recover — I woke up ready to hike again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was at the top of Rupin Pass that I felt breathless again.
