共享题干题 （一） Counterfeit阅读材料，回答下列的问题。 Making and selling fake copies of well-known products has been a nice little earner for crafty craftsmen over thousands of years : In Roman Gaul, unscrupulous potters would put the seals of better-known competitors on their urns so they would sell better. Until the 1980s, counterfeiting was a relatively small-scale business restricted mainly to copying luxury fashion items, such as watches and leather goods, in limited quantities. But in the 1990s it was transformed into a much bigger, broader industry, with large-scale production and distribution of false versions of such everyday items as biscuits and shampoo. Modem technology is making it ever easier to create near-perfect copies of branded goods for a fraction of the retail price of the real thing. By its nature, the extent of counterfeiting is hard to measure precisely, but a study by the International Chamber of Commerce reckonedthat it grew from perhaps 3 % of world trade in 1990 to 5 % in 1995.John Pepper, hairman of Proter & Gamble, a consumer-goods multinational, says it may now be 7% -9%, or over $ 450 billion a year. In some developing countries, the authorities have had, at best, an ambivalent attitude towards the booming manufacture of fake goods in their midst. After all, it creates jobs for local people and, at first sight,appears only to hurt foreign firms. Thus the richer countries whose firms are the main victims have had to use a mixture of persuasion and threats to get poorer nations to crack down on the pirates. The Uruguay round of world trade talks, which ended in 1994, resulted in agreement on the Trade Related Aspects of intellectual Property Rights ( Trips ) , which obliges all mender countries of the World Trade Organization to impose penalties for counterfeiting and other breaches of intellectual property rights; to enforce their piracy laws adequately; and to heap firms inhibit trade in faked versions of their products. Besides offering poorer countries trade privileges in return for a clampdown on counterfeiting, rich countries have tried convincing them that if they try harder to enforce intellectual property rights, they will win more foreign investment. But, realizing that persuasion is having little effect, they are also resorting to threats:On January 15th, America issued a warning to the Philippines, the world's leading piracy centers, that they may have their trade privileges taken away unless they crack down harder on the counterfeiting gangs.1.[不定向选择题]The underlined word“ambivalent”in the third paragraph most probably means____________．A.critical B.contradictory C.positive D.negative 2.[不定向选择题]Rich countries intend to____________．A.offer poorer countries trade privileges B.take away file trade privileges they have given poorer countries C.clamp down counterfeiting in poorer countries D.threaten the counterfeiting gangs in Philippines

1.参考答案：B
参考解析：联系此词出现的句子，可知此词代表当局对假货制造的态度，紧接着作者分析“After all，it creates jobs for local people and，at first sight appears only to hurt foreign films．”由此可知，当局对其很矛盾，应选B项。critical“批评的”，positive“积极的”，negative“消极的”。
2.参考答案：C
参考解析：由最后一段“…in retum for a clampdown on counterfeitin9…if they try harder to enforce intellectual-property fights”“…Unless they crack down harder on the counterfeiting gangs”，可知，富裕国家除了为制裁盗版的贫穷国家提供贸易优先权外，还试图让贫穷国家相信，如果他们能加强知识产权，他们将获得更多的国外投资，同时还警告菲律宾，除非他们制裁盗版团伙，他们才有可能获得被剥夺的贸易优先权，由此可知，富裕国家主要制裁贫穷国家的盗版问题，所以选C。3.[不定向选择题]The second paragraph is mainly about____________.A.the extent of counterfeiting in world trade B.the difficulty in measuring the extent of counterfeiting C.a study by the International Chamber of Commerce D.what John Pepper chairman of Procter&Gamble says
