21、What does the word “patent (专利权)” mean to you? Does it interest you? If it does, stop and think a moment about some of the common things that you use every day: the telephone, radio, television, and the thousands of other things that enrich our lives today, were once only ideas in the minds of men. If it had not been possible to patent their ideas, so as to protect them from being copied, these inventions might never have been fully developed to serve human beings.

If there were no patent protection, there would be little encouragement to invent, for once the secrets of an invention became known, those who did not experience the inventor’s risks and expenses (花费) might well fill the market with their copies of his product and steal much of the benefit (益处) of his efforts.

The most basic values in the U. S. patent system came from England. During the rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England, the growing technology was furthered by the giving of exclusive privileges (独家特权) to people who had invented new processes (程序) or tools—a step that did much to encourage creativity. Later, an important value was added: society had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving exclusive privileges to an inventor, because a patent for an invention was given for something new that society never had before.

George Washington signed the first patent law on April 10, 1790, and less than four months later, the first patent was given to a man named Samuel Hopkins for a chemical process, an improved method in soap making.

In 1936, the Patent Office became a separate department and it has grown into an organization of over 2,500 people who every week deal with more than 1,600 patent applications, and of those, give more than 1,000. A patent may be given for any new and useful process, machine, or planning method.

The patent system has also helped to improve the pay of the American worker to an unexpected level; he can produce and earn more by using computers or adding machines, two important patented inventions. Patented inventions also help keep prices down by encouraging competition.

Our patent laws, like the Constitution from which they grew, have stood the test of time. They have encouraged creative processes, brought great benefits to society as a whole, and enabled American technology to outstrip that of the rest of the modern world.

【1】From the passage, what can we learn about inventors?

A．They make a lot of money.

B．They fight against copiers.

C．They have a lot of experience.

D．They put effort into inventions.

【2】Why were inventors given exclusive privileges?

A．Because their inventions made leaders happy.

B．Because their creativity is very important.

C．Because their inventions could enlarge society.

D．Because they were the smartest people in society.

【3】According to the passage, the patent system is good for America because ________.

A．it helps more workers get jobs

B．it provides a first-class service

C．it produces less expensive things

D．it helps inventors find markets

【4】What is the meaning of “outstrip” in the last paragraph?

A．be better than

B．catch up with

C．make better use of

D．cost more than

22、   Some people don't like storms, but I think they are very exciting.

There are often storms at the end of a hot summer day. The clouds are small and white at first. However, they get bigger and bigger until they make one large, black cloud. The sky gets dark and it starts to rain hard. And then the streets are like swimming pools. There is a flash of bright light in the sky and then, after a few seconds, you can hear the loud “bang” of thunder.

Light travels very fast, so we always see the lightning(闪电) before we hear the thunder. If the clouds are one kilometre away, you can count to three, between the lightning and the thunder.

Lightning is very beautiful but it can also be dangerous. Lightning is electricity(电流) “jumping” to the ground from a cloud. It usually hits tall things, so if you are outside when there is thunder and lightning, don't stand under a tree.

【1】We can see _________ in a storm.

A.a light rain B.a white cloud

C.a small cloud D.lightning

【2】The streets are like swimming pools because _________.

A.the cloud is large and dark

B.the sky gets dark

C.it rains hard

D.it's a hotter summer day

【3】What does the underlined word “flash” mean?

A.闪光 B.明亮 C.响亮 D.阳光

【4】If the clouds are three kilometers away, you can count to _________ between the lightning and the thunder.

A.three B.six C.nine D.twelve

【5】What should you do when there is thunder and lightning?

A.Climb up a tree. B.Stand under a tree.

C.Stand under tall things. D.Stay in a car

23、Dear Linda,

Have you ever been to Bangkok? It’s the capital city of Thailand, a country in Southeast Asia. We are staying here for a few days before we go to the island of Phuket. Some of our friends went to Phuket last year. They said to us, “You should go there because there are beautiful beaches and it is very relaxing.” I will take many photographs and show them to you.

Bangkok is a very interesting city to visit. Yesterday we went to the old part of the city to look at the buildings there. It’s also very crowded and busy. There are lots of people and traffic. This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry and clothes. We bought some gold bracelets and necklaces this morning. Before we leave Bangkok, we are going to go back and buy some clothes. Thailand is also called the “Land of Smiles” because the people are very friendly. And it’s true! The people are really nice and they are always smiling.

The food in Bangkok is delicious. I like Thai food, but it is something a little spicy for me. You can also get Chinese food here because many people in Bangkok came originally from China. The Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. You can get European and American food here, too. Yesterday I saw an American restaurant. I like American food but I don’t want to eat American food in Thailand. I’d rather eat Thai or Chinese food here. I like to try new things when I travel.

The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler, but today it’s very hot again.

Sally

根据短文内容，判断下列各句正（T）、误（F）。

【1】Sally has been in Phuket for a few days.

【2】It is very noisy in Bangkok.

【3】The Thai people are not pleasant and friendly.

【4】Sally likes to eat American food in Thailand.

【5】You can get Chinese food in Bangkok.
