Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value. The concept dates back to 1623 when the first patent law to protect IP sights was passed. IP rights protect the artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example, if somebody generated an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/ she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing. But today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who creative music, art and literature.
In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether; the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, form a book store. In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.
According to the writer, in the beginning, If rights were mainly of use to ______.
A. those creating music, art and literature B . novelists
C. engineers and inventors D. those not receiving financial reward for their work
What do we know about the internet according to the passage?
A. It makes IP rights harder to protect. B. It sells songs and films.
C. It does not affect the way we understand IP rights. D. It prevents the production of artwork.
According to paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?
A. Intellectual property rights. B. The Internet.
C. Free downloading D. The large number of songs, films and books.
A possible title for this passage could be ______.
A. A History of IP Rights B. Ways to Protect Your IP Rights.
C. The Present and the Future Of IP D. IP Rights and Our Attitudes

Five people are at our table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we’ve been at sea, although we rarely meet except at mealtimes.
First of all, there is Dr. Stone. He is a man of about sixty-five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quite country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many countries. He’s told us a great deal about the city to which they are going.
Then there is “Grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a grandmother, she looks remarkable young, no more than fifty. She is on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
Then there is a man I don’t care for very much, the engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children’s various illnesses. She is on her way to join her husband in India.
【小題1】What can we know about Mr. Stone?
| A． He knows a lot about the city the author is going to visit. |
| B．He is going to give up his work. |
| C．He has been retired for many years. |

| A．Mrs. Hunt | B．Grandmother | C．The doctor | D．Mr. Hunt |
| A．leaving | B．a(chǎn)t home | C．a(chǎn)bout to leave | D．on vacation |
