B.Invention usually needs heavy cost.C.Patent is useful but not practic
19、al.D.Inventions are difficult to spread.解析：听力原文 W: I don“t understand how the inventor earns money from the invention. After all, anyone can copy and sell it. Really, what is a patent? A piece of paper? A philosophy? You can“t see it. M: I am glad you asked that. Actually when an inventor has a pate
20、nt, it“s enforceable by the laws in the country where the inventor developed the invention. If anyone makes and sells the product then the inventor can take them to civil court. W: What can the inventor expect to receive if he sues and wins? M: Well, there are different things the court could do, bu
21、t there“s no guarantee. There“s a good chance the court could award him compensation and orders to stop the manufacture and sale of goods. It may well be that the goods would be ordered to be destroyed. W: Can the other person being sued do anything to help themselves? M: That“s the beauty of the wh
22、ole thing. Ignorance of the law doesn“t count, I“m afraid. However, the other person can counter-sue pretending that they were actually the original inventor. W: You said the inventor is protected by the laws of the country. Is everything equal? Do all countries have the same law? M: No, they“re not
23、 all equal. You“re right. It“s only in theory. It is being worked on. The World Trade Organization has developed an agreement, Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, which makes sure that the patent is valid for 20 years. W: That doesn“t make sense. Twenty years is a long time. M: Ac
24、tually, it does. It“s believed that inventors make and sell goods faster after they register the patent because there“s a 20-year limitation on the patent. On the other hand, other inventors can use the information the inventor disclosed when the product was registered. Giving the information is all

C.Buy the patent from the real invento

32、d to accommodate handicapped people as far as I know. What faculty are you planning to go into? M: I am thinking of doing engineering. W: Hmm. Engineering is in the old Adams building. I don“t know if there is an elevator. M: Do the buses that go out to campus have facilities to bring wheelchairs on
33、 board? W: Yes, that I know for sure. All the buses are equipped with electronic lifts, and there are seats that fold back. M: What about the sidewalks? W: I think most of the sidewalks have been leveled at the corners, so you could probably use your wheelchair, but I am not sure. In fact, if you wo
34、uld like, why don“t you come with me? I“ll be taking the bus and I could show you around once we got there. M: That“s really nice of you, Raphel. I“d really like that. W: Okay, I will come to your house about 8:30 in the morning and we can take the commuter train into town, then catch the bus up to
35、the university. M: Great, I look forward to it.

40、abandoned cars on the streets. It has been estimated by A to Z Towing Inc., a nationwide tow-truck agency, that over one million cars are abandoned on the streets and alleyways of the nation“s cities. Each year, approximately a third of those cars are removed and destroyed. The rest of the cars, whi
41、ch are not removed, take up parking spaces and make neighborhoods look run-down. A survey of twenty cities by A to Z reports that as much as 30 million dollars is spent annually to tow away and dismantle abandoned vehicles. One city alone, Los Angeles, spends five million dollars a year to control t
42、he accumulation of abandoned cars on its streets. Even though the city spends so much money on the program, it is always fighting a losing battle as more and more cars are constantly coming off the production line. On the other hand, Boston, which spends most of its money on museums and libraries, d
43、oes not appropriate tax money to clean abandoned cars off the streets. In Boston the problem has been dealt with by a non-profit government agency called Street Horizons, which uses the money from the recycling of metal in the cars to pay for the cost of towing them. The program in Boston sounds goo
44、d although it has not completely reached financial independence from the federal government yet. Until a truly self-sufficient program for removing old cars is developed, it will remain a serious problem. What is the problem with abandoned cars? 解析 录音开篇就指出城市居民经常抱怨停车场地少，其中一个原因就是由街上被抛弃的旧车所致，故C 为正确答案。A

46、t the abandoned cars? 解析 短文提到，A to Z Towing Inc. 估计有 100 多万辆车被遗弃在大街小巷，每年大约有 1/3 被拖走或销毁，剩下的车没有拖走。由此可知没拖走的车所占比例约为 2/3，故 C 正确。选项 D 的 little 与短文接下来提到的各个城市花费了大量的金钱来处理 abandoned cars 不符。A.By spending tax money to clean abandoned cars off the street.B.By towing them with the money from the recycling of met
47、al in the cars. C.By malting it lawless to abandon old cars.D.By spending most of its money on abandoned cars.解析：听力原文 How has Boston dealt with the abandoned cars? 解析 在波士顿，这一问题由一家名为 Street Horizons 的非赢利性政府机构通过回收利用废旧汽车来解决，故 B 为正确答案。（分数：16.00）A.The body will take in more oxygen.B.The heart will beat m

The restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness. How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion.
