17、nged.The first copyright law in the United States was passed by Congress 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

18、a _27_ work for personal use had to do so by hand. The very process _28_ 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

19、 need to protect radio and television. As a result, _30_ of the law and 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 giv

20、en them an _32_ for remedy.Since 1976 the Act has been _33_ to include 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 de

21、cided by the courts and by acceptable common practice over time. 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.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passa

22、ge.Fear can be an effective way to change behavior. One study compared the effects of high-fear and low-fear appeals on changes in attitudes and behaviors related to dental hygiene (卫生). One group of subjects was shown awful pictures of _36_ teeth and diseased gums; another group was shown less frig

23、htening materials such as plastic teeth, charts, and graphs. Subjects who saw the frightening materials reported more anxiety and a greater _37_ to change the way they took care of their teeth than the low-fear group did.But were these reactions actually _38_ into better dental hygiene practices? To

24、 answer this important question, subjects were called back to the laboratory on two _39_ (five days and six weeks after the experiment). They chewed disclosing wafers (牙疾诊断片) that give a red stain to any uncleaned areas of the teeth and thus provided a direct _40_ of how well they were really taking

25、 care of their teeth. The result showed that the high-fear appeal did actually result in greater and more _41_ changes in dental hygiene. That is, the subjects _42_ to high-fear warnings brushed their teeth more _43_ than did those who saw low-fear warnings.However, to be an effective persuasive dev

26、ice it is very important that the message not be too frightening and that people be given _44_ guidelines to help them to reduce the cause of the fear. If this isnt done, they may reduce their anxiety by denying the message or the _45_ of the communicator. If that happens, it is unlikely that either

27、 attitude or behavior change will occur.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2 上作答。A) accustomedB) carefullyC) cautiouslyD) concreteE) credibility F) decayedG) desireH) dimensionsI) eligibleJ) exposed K) indicationL) occasionsM) permanentN) sensitivityO) translatedThe Street-Level SolutionA) When I was growing up, one of m

28、y fathers favorite sayings (borrowed from the humorist Will Rogers) was: It isnt what we dont know that causes the trouble: its what we think we know that just aint so. One of the main insights to be taken from the 100,000 Homes Campaign and its strategy to end chronic homelessness is that, until re

29、cently, our society thought it understood the nature of homelessness, but it didnt.B) That led to a series of mistaken assumptions about why people become homeless and what they need. Many of the errors in our homelessness policies have stemmed from the conception that, the homeless are a homogeneou

30、s group. Its only in the past 15 years that organizations like Common Ground, and others, have taken a street-level view of the problem-distinguishing the episodically homeless from the chronically homeless in order to understand their needs at an individual level. This is why we can now envisage a

31、different approach-and get better results.C) Most readers expressed support for the effort, although a number were skeptical, and a few utterly dismissive, about the chances of long-term homeless people adapting well to housing. This is to be expected; its hard to imagine what we havent yet seen. As

32、 Niccolo Machiavelli wrote in The Prince, one of the major obstacles in any effort to advance systemic change is the incredulity of men, which is to say that people do not readily believe in new things until they have had a long experience of them, Most of us have witnessed homeless people on the streets for decades. Few have seen formerly homeless people after the
