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、   We use apps to order takeout, learn English and shop online. But have you ever imagined that we could deal with rubbish by using an app?

Dou Zheng, 15, a ninth-grader at The High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University designed(设计) such an app. People can sell recyclable waste (可回收垃圾) like bottles to rubbish collectors. Just like ordering takeout, people can simply make an order on the app and enjoy door-to-door service. This March, Dou won the first  prize at the 36th Beijing Youth Science Creation Competition with the app.

The idea for her app came from a real-life experience. On her way home, she always saw roads that were blocked ( 堵 住 ) because of rubbish collectors. “ There are lots of water bottles and cardboard on the roads. It’s a total mess ,” she said.

After doing research on surrounding communities ( 社 区 ), she found that the answer to the problem was to change the way people and rubbish collectors trade.

Last summer holiday, she ordered a lot of takeout, which gave her the idea to design the app.  To believe that it would work, she did surveys on WeChat and in the streets. The results showed that eight out of 10 people supported the idea.

However, she didn’t know how to program apps. She read many books and watched videos to learn about programming on her own. “It’s hard. I have to know what a series of complicated codes (代码) mean and then write my own,” she said. Later, with the help of an app called AppMakr, she finished it!  “This app made designing my app easier,” she said.

Her app may go online next year. “I’m working on contacting companies to promote (推广) it,” she said.

【1】What can Dou Zheng’s app do?

A.order takeout B.learn English C.shop online D.deal with rubbish

【2】Where did the idea for Dou Zheng’s app come from?

A.a research B.her own experience. C.other apps D.a competition

【3】Why did Dou Zheng want to design this app?

A.People can sell their rubbish online.

B.The roads won’t be blocked by the rubbish collectors.

C.Rubbish collectors can go to the seller’s home to buy some recyclable waste.

D.All above.

【4】How did Dou Zheng design her app easier?

A.She just read many books. B.She just watched videos.

C.With the help of an app called AppMakr. D.With the help of her parents.

【5】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.She learned a lot from this app.

B.Her app has already been online.

C.Without any help, Dou made this app all by herself.

D.Most of the people didn’t like her idea of this app.
