That’s the question being discussed all over the Internet about this toothy selfie：a monkey “took” of itself with photographer David Slater’s camera. Slater traveled to Indonesia in 2011 to get the perfect image of a black monkey.One of the monkeys came to check out his camera and took hundreds of photos of itself. “They were quite naughty，jumping all over my equipment，and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button，”Slater said.“The sound got his attention and he kept pressing it.At first it scared the rest of them away but they soon came back—it was amazing to watch.” Most of the photos were unclear，but one of them was a cute selfportrait of a monkey appearing to grin. Now the image has been uploaded to Wikimedia and Slater is not pleased.He has asked Wikimedia to remove the image from its pages because he owns the rights to it.It is included in Wikimedia Commons that is a collection of over 22 million images and videos that are free to use online and allows other websites to use it free of charge，it is harming his right to make money from “his” photo. But Wikimedia says that because the monkey pressed the button to take the photo，Slater does not own the right to the photo and it is uncopyrightable. Copyright law states that animals cannot own copyrights.“The term ‘authorship’ implies that， for a work to be copyrightable，it must owe its origin to a human being.Materials produced only by nature，by plants，or by animals are not copyrightable.” Slater argues that the image was not produced only by monkey because a monkey pressed a button， but he did all the setting up. “If the monkey took it，it owns the copyright，not me；that’s Wikimedia’s basic argument.What they don’t realize is that it needs a court to decide that.I’ve told them it’s not public domain， they’ve got no right to say that it’s public domain.”explained Slater. 1．We can infer that a monkey took photos of itself . A．for pleasure B．on purpose C．by accident D．with the help of Salter 2．What made Salter angry with Wikimedia? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 A．It uses images without paying money for their owners. B．It collects images and videos without his permission. C．It connects an image library to other websites. D．It allows people to use the monkey’s selfie for free. 3．Salter claimed the right of the monkey’s selfie because . A．he created a background for the monkey to take photos B．he taught the monkey how to press the button correctly C．he prepared the camera for the monkey in advance D．he guided the monkey to take a photo of itself 4．The last paragraph implies that . A．Wikimedia isn’t available for everyone B．Slater may seek law to win his rights C．the monkey has right of the selfie image D．the copyright matters a lot to public domain 1．C [推理判断题。根据第四段的“‘...it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button，’ Slater said.‘The sound got his attention and he kept pressing it.’”可 知，这只猴子是偶然碰到了照相机的快门，然后好奇才不断地摁快门，拍了许多照片。] 2．D [细节理解题。结合第六段的“...that are free to use online and allows other websites to use it free of charge，it is harming his right to make money from‘his’ photo.”可知，维基网站免费 让人们使用图片和视频，因此没人给他付费了。] 3．A [细节理解题。从倒数第二段的“...because a monkey pressed a button，but he did all the setting up.”可知选 A 项。] 4．B [推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What they don’t realize is that it needs a court to decide that.” 可知，他认为只有法庭才能判断谁拥有这张照片的版权，暗示他要通过打官司来争取这张照片的版权。] 2016 高考英语阅读理解集训。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a low-key coffee shop in Encino.

Elizabeth Lally White, who turns 28 on Thursday, will marry Sam Peterson in Spiaggia, a restaurant on North Michigan Avenue. The reception also will be held at the restaurant, which had been previously scheduled to host the couple’s engagement party on Thursday. Lally White’s mother, Maggie, 68, was reported to have caught breast cancer in 2002. She had an operation in her leg in April and she was hospitalized twice in the weeks following the procedure for treatment of flu-like symptoms that doctors said were not related to the cancer. Maggie, who has used a walker or a wheelchair during most public appearances in recent years, is well beyond the average survival time for someone with breast cancer. “As the mayor himself has said, she had a pretty difficult summer.” said Jacquelyn Heard, who served Mayor White’s press secretary for years and followed him to the same international law firm that he joined after leaving office in May. “She was not able to get around the way that she normally would do. This year, she has had quite a few setbacks and they’ve been pretty well documented. Lally White decided to reschedule the wedding so that her mom can participate in the festivities (庆祝活动).” Heard said. Lally White is a doctoral candidate at De-Paul University and plans to work with autistic (孤独症) children, and Sam Peterson works in insurance, Heard said. Richard and Maggie White married in 1972 and had three children in addition to Lally — Nora, Patrick and Kevin. But Kevin was born with a disease and died in 1981 at 33 months. 【小题 1】When was Elizabeth Lally White born? A. In 1983. B. In 1987. C. In 1985. D. In 1984. 【小题 2】 What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Maggie, 68, is recovering now. B. Maggie caught breast cancer in 2002. C. The cancer caused some flu-like symptoms on Maggie. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 D. Average breast cancer patients lived a life shorter than Maggie. 【小题 3】Why did Lally White reschedule her wedding? A. She was afraid that her mother couldn’t participate her wedding on New Year’s Eve. B. She was eager to work with autistic children after wedding. C. Her family will move out of New York. D. Her mother will accept operation because of her disease. 【小题 4】 How many children did the former mayor and his wife give birth to? A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6. 【小题 5】What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The political life of former Mayor. B. The brave wife of former Mayor. C. The wedding of former Mayor’s daughter. D.
