阅读理解Havingfinishedherhomework,MaLiwan

阅读理解 Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation①. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits② have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing.“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others’ work without paying.However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing③ file-sharers.”Notes:① relaxation n. 娱乐② lawsuit n. 诉讼③ pursue vt. 追赶，追击Choose the best answers according to the above:1.Which of the following best describes the passage?A.Music on the Internet is of better qualityB.Downloading material can be illegalC.It’s good to get free music on the InternetD.Baidu is a popular web company2.The four web companies were put to court because _________A.they got copyrighted songs without payingB.they downloaded copyrighted music for peopleC.they make copyrighted files for free downloadsD.they offer free music on line3.How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after the lawsuit?A.A bit guiltyB.A little sadC.Extremely angryD.Awfully sorry4.What’s the advantage of tile sharing for recording companies?A.Getting more money from web companiesB.Enabling people to download favorite songsC.Helping to improve the musicD.Making pop singers more popular5.It can be inferred from the text that _________A.Web companies are still ignoring the copyright lawsB.Teenagers haven’t got money to buy CDsC.Teenagers are probably still downloading free musicD.Teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music
