music group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. a copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a tv show, a book, or a work of art. warner has claimed the copyright for “happy birthday to you” since 1988.“i never thought the song was owned by anyone,” nelson said in an e-mail to the new york times. “i thought it belonged to everyone.”nelsons movie is a documentary（纪录片） a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events and is actually about the history of the “happy birthday” song itself.two sisters named mildred and patty hill wrote a song called “good morning to all” in 1893. over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the hill sisters song.a number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “happy birthday to you” lyrics（歌词）. historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “happy birthday” song, but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.nelsons lawyers say this piece of musics history proves that “happy birthday to you” belongs to everyone in the general public. that would mean warner music group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.experts estimate that warner/ chappell, the publishing division of the warner music group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “happy birthday to you.”nelsons lawyers are asking a court in new york city to order warner/chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “happy birthday” song.28. jennifer nelson had to pay warner music group to _. .a. own the copyright on a songb. have it write a song for her movie c. have it play a song in her movied. have a song sung in her movie29.the history experts statement can prove

use31.if the court supports nelsons lawyers claim, _. .a. she can obtain the copyright on the songb. warner will return about $8 million c. warner will have to pay her for her damagesd. she only needs to pay a little money to use the song【答案】28.d29.a30.c31.b【解析】试题分析: jennifer nelson因为在电影中使用了祝你生日快乐这首歌，需要付1500美元给华纳音乐集团。因为华纳音乐集团说他们拥有这首歌的版权，但是历史学家认为在这首歌版权归于华纳集团之前已经流行开来了。因此jennifer nelson的律师提起了诉讼。28.d考查细节理解。根据filmmaker jennifer nelson had to pay $1,500 to have “happy birthday to you” sung in the movie shes making，可知d选项正确。故选d。 dshould we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? in order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. not all historical buildings are attractive. however, there may be other reasonsfor example, economic(经济的) reasonswhy they should be preserved. so, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. what should we do then if a new building is needed?in my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. as long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.it is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. i think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, i believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. if we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. thus, i would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.32.what does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?a. some of them are not attractive.b. most of them are too expensive to preserve.c. they are more pleasing than modern buildings.d. they have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.33.which of the following is true according to the author?a. we should reproduce the same old buildings.b. buildings should not dominate their surroundings.c. no one understands why people speak against new buildings.d. some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.34.by “move things forward”in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_”a. destroy old buildingsb. choose new architectural stylec. put things in a different place d. respect peoples feelings for historical buildings35.what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to explain why people dislike change.b. to warn that we could end up living in caves.c. to argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.d. to admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.【答案】32.a33.d34.b35.c【解析】试题分析: 文章是对于现在人们经常讨论的问题是否现代的建筑应该和古老的历史建筑在一起-进行阐述，在作者看来历史建筑应该保存，但是我们的建筑风格也应该改变，不能因为历史建筑破坏我们的生活。32.a考查细节理解。根据第一段的句子：not all historical buildings are attractive.这是部分否定的句子，可知一些历史建筑不够有吸引力。故选a。33.d考查推理判断。根据第三段的第一个句子：it is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.新建筑破坏了古建筑，而古建筑也是这样，可知作者认为一些历史建筑将他们生活的地方破坏了。故选d。34.b考查推理判断。根据文章第四段的句子：if we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves .如果建筑师不改变建筑风格，我们现在还住在山洞里面，可知“moving things forward”意思是“选择新的建筑风格”。故选b。35.c考查作者的写作态度和意图。根据文章第一段的第一个的句子：should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?可知这篇文章是论证现代的建筑可以建在历史遗迹的地方。故选c。考点：考查历史文化类短文阅读第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。注意 e选项填涂ab, f选项填涂ac,g选项填涂ad。taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you
