24、s in 1790. In 1976 Congress enacted the latest copyright law, 26 the technological developments that had occurred since the passage of the Copyright Act of 1909. For example, in 1909, anyone who wanted to make a single copy of a 27 work for personal use had to do so by hand. The very process 28

25、 a limitation on the quantity of materials copied. Today, a photocopier can do the work in seconds; the limitation has disappeared. The 1909 law did not provide full protection for films and sound recordings, nor did it 29 the need to protect radio and television. As a result, 30 of the law and

26、abuses of the intent of the law have lessened the 31 rewards of authors, artists, and producers. The 1976 Copyright Act has not prevented these abuses fully, but it has clarified the legal rights of the injured parties and given them an 32 for remedy. Since 1976 the Act has been 33 to include

27、computer software, and guidelines have been adopted for fair use of television broadcasts. These changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflict that followed 34 the 1976 legislation. The fine points of the law are decided by the courts and by acceptable common practice over time.

28、 As these decisions and agreements are made, we modify our behavior accordingly. For now, we need to 35 the law and its guidelines as accurately as we can and to act in a fair manner. Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section A Directions: In this sect

29、ion, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.

30、ng letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage. For investors who desire low risk and guaranteed income, US government bonds are a secure investm

31、ent because these bonds have the financial backing and full faith and credit of the federal government. Municipal bonds, also secure, are offered by local governments and often have 36 such as tax-free interest. Some may even be 37 . Corporate bonds are a bit more risky. Two questions often

32、38 first-time corporate bond investors. The first is “If I purchase a corporate bond, do I have to hold it until the maturity date?” The answer is no. Bonds are bought and sold daily on 39 securities exchanges. However, if you decide to sell your bond before its maturity date, you’re not guarante

33、ed to get the face value of the bond. For example, if your bond does not have 40 that make it attractive to other investors, you may be forced to sell your bond at a 41 , i.e., a price less than the bond’s face value. But if your bond is highly valued by other investors, you may be able to sell i

34、t at a premium, i.e., a price above its face value. Bond prices generally 42 inversely (相反地) with current market interest rates. As interest rates go up, bond prices fall, and vice versa (反之亦然). Thus, like all investments, bonds have a degree of risk. The second question is “How can I 43 th

35、e investment risk of a particular bond issue?” Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service rate the level of risk of many corporate and government bonds. And 44 , the higher the market risk of a bond, the higher the interest rate. Investors will invest in a bond considered risky only if the 45

36、 return is high enough. 注意：此部分試題請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。 A）advantages F）discount K）insured B）assess G）embarrass L）major C）bother H）features M）naturally D）conserved I）fluctuate N）potential E）deduction J）indefinite O）simultaneously Section

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked w

38、ith a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Lessons From a Feminist Paradise A) On the surface, Sweden appears to be a feminist paradise. Look at any global survey of gender equality and Sweden will be near the top. Family-friendly policies are its nor

39、m--with 16 months of paid parent all eave, special protections for part-time workers, and state-subsidized preschools where, according to a government website, “gender-awareness education is increasingly common.” Due to an unofficial quota system, women hold 45 percent of positions in the Swedish pa

40、rliament. They have enjoyed the protection of government agencies with titles like the Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality and the Secretariat of Gender Research. So why are American women so far ahead of their Swedish counterpart sin breaking through the glass ceiling? B) In a 2012 repor

41、t, the World Economic Forum found that when it comes to closing the gender gap in “economic participation and opportunity,” the United States is ahead of not only Sweden but also Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Iceland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Sweden’s rank in there port can largely be e

42、xplained by its political quota system. Though the United States has fewer women in the workforce (68 percent compared to Sweden’s 77 percent), American women who choose to be employed are far more likely to work full-time and to hold high-level jobs as managers or professionals. They also own more

43、businesses, launch more start-ups (新創(chuàng)辦的企業(yè)), and more often work in traditionally male fields. As for breaking through the glass ceiling in business, American women are well in the lead. C) What explains the American advantage? How can it be that societies like Sweden, where gender equality is vig

44、orously pursued and enforced, have fewer female managers, executives, professionals, and business owners than the laissez-faire (自由放任的) United States? A new study by Cornell economists Francine Blau and Lawrence Kahn gives an explanation. D) Generous parental leave policies and readily available

45、part-time options have unintended consequences: instead of strengthening women’s attachment to the workplace, they appear to weaken it. In addition to a 16-month leave, a Swedish parent has the right to work six hours a day (for a reduced salary) until his or her child is eight years old. Mothers ar

46、e far more likely than fathers to take advantage of this law. But extended leaves and part-time employment are known to be harmful to careers--for both genders. And with women a second factor comes into play: most seem to enjoy the flexible-time arrangement (once known as the “mommy track”) and neve

47、r find their way back to full-time or high-level employment. In sum: generous family-friendly policies do keep more women in the labor market, but they also tend to diminish their careers. E) According to Blau and Kahn, Swedish-style paternal (父親的) leave policies and flexible-time arrangements po

48、se a second threat to women’s progress: they make employers cautious about hiring women for full-time positions at all. Offering a job to a man is the safer bet. He is far less likely to take a year of parental leave and then return on a reduced work schedule for the next eight years. F) I became

49、 aware of the trials of career-focused European women a few years ago when I met a post-doctoral student from Germany who was then a visiting fellow at Johns Hopkins. She was astonished by the professional possibilities afforded to young American women. Her best hope in Germany was a government job-

50、prospects for women in the private sector were dim. “In Germany,” she told me, “we have all the benefits, but employers don’t want to hire us.” G) Swedish economists Magnus Henrekson and Mikael Stenkula addressed the following question in their2009 study: why are there so few female top executive

51、s in the European egalitarian (平等主義的) welfare states? Their answer: “Broad-based welfare-state policies hinder women’s representation in elite competitive positions.” H) It is tempting to declare the Swedish policies regressive (退步的) and hail the American system as superior. But that would be sho

52、rtsighted. The Swedes can certainly take a lesson from the United States and look for ways to clear a path for their ambitious female careerists. But most women are not committed careerists. When the Pew Research Center recently asked American parents to identify their “ideal” life arrangement, 47 p

53、ercent of mothers said they would prefer to work part-time and 20 percent said they would prefer not to work at all. Fathers answered differently: 75 percent preferred full-timework. Some version of the Swedish system might work well for a majority of American parents, but the United States is unlik

54、ely to fully embrace the Swedish model. Still, we can learn from their experience. I) Despite its failure to shatter the glass ceiling, Sweden has one of the most powerful and innovative economies in the world. In its 2011-2012 survey, the World Economic Forum ranked Sweden as the world’s third

55、most competitive economy; the United States came in fifth. Sweden, dubbed the “rocks tar of the recovery” in the Washington Post, also leads the world in life satisfaction and happiness. It is a society well worth studying, and its efforts to conquer the gender gap impart a vital lesson--though not

56、the lesson the Swedes had in mind. J) Sweden has gone farther than any other nation on earth to integrate the sexes and to offer women the same opportunities and freedoms as men. For decades, these descendants of the Vikings have been trying to show the world that the right mix of enlightened pol

57、icy, consciousness raising, and non-sexist child rearing would close the gender divide once and for all. Yet the divide persists. K) A 2012 press release from Statistics Sweden bears the title “Gender Equality in Sweden Treading (踩) Water” and notes: l The total income from employment for all a

58、ges is lower for women than for men. l One in three employed women and one in ten employed men work part-time. l Women’s working time is influenced by the number and age of their children, but men’s working time is not affected by these factors. l Of all employees, only 13 percent of the women

59、and 12 percent of the men have occupations with an even distribution of the sexes. L) Confronted with such facts, some Swedish activists and legislators are demanding more extreme and far-reaching measures, such as replacing male and female pronouns with a neutral alternative and monitoring child

60、ren more closely to correct them when they gravitate (被吸引) toward gendered play. When it came to light last year that mothers, far more than fathers, chose to stay home from work to care for their sick kids, Ulf Kristersson, minister of social security, quickly commissioned a study to determine the

61、causes of and possible cures for this disturbing state of affairs. M) Swedish family policies, by accommodating women’s preferences effectively, are reducing the number of women in elite competitive positions. The Swedes will find this paradoxical and try to find solutions. Letus hope these do no

62、t include banning gender pronouns, policing children’s play, implementing more gender quotas, or treating women’s special attachment to home and family as a social injustice. Most mothers do not aspire to (向往) elite, competitive full-time positions: the Swedish policies have given them the freedom a

63、nd opportunity to live the lives they prefer. Americans should look past the gender rhetoric and consider what these Scandinavians have achieved. On their way to creating a feminist paradise, the Swedes have unintentionally created a haven (避風(fēng)港) for normal mortals. 注意：此部分試題請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。
