The Washed Ashore project, led by artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, works to raise awareness about the problem of plastic pollution in Earths oceans.More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the worlds oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. It often collects in spots called garbage patches, which spread over large areas of the ocean.Thousands of marine animals-including whales, sea turtles, and fish-die each year from eating or getting stuck in plastic bags and other items. Plastic pieces can also injure coral and kill sea grass.Washed Ashore and other organizations are working to stop that from happening. Since xx, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 3000 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 sculptures of marine creatures that were harmed by plastic pollution.The artworks on display at the National Zoo include a 20-foot-long coral reef, a 12-foot-long shark, and a 16-foot-long parrot fish.

The money went to Warner Music Group, a pany 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 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. 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 pany.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.7. Jennifer Nelson had to pay Warner Music Group to _.A. own the copyright on a song B. have a song sung in her movieC. have it play a song in her movie D. have it write a song for her movie8.

Warner will have to pay her for her damagesD. she only needs to pay a little money to use the song【答案】7. B 8. C 9. B 10. A【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。7. B 细节理解题。根据文章第一句Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1,500 to have “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie shes making，可知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。故B选项正确。8. C推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a pany可知历史学家认为这首歌不属于华纳音乐集团。故选C。9. B 推理判断题。根据第六段第二句That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting可知律师认为对于这首歌华纳音乐集团无权收取费用。故选B。10. A.数字计算题。根据文章最后一段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可知如果胜诉，华纳音乐集团需要退回四年的使用费。且根据about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.”可知每年约2百万美元，故四年为8百万美元。故选A。考点：考查新闻报道类阅读第二节 (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。The Lost Rules of EtiquetteEtiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together._11_Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside.
