Neither can Chinese speakers, who have to rely on pinyin. But last Friday, ICANN, the Web’s governing body, approved the use of up to 16 languages for the new system. More will follow in the coming years.

The Internet is about to start using the 16 languages of the world. People will soon be able to use addresses in characters (字符) other than those of the Roman alphabet (字母表). The change will also allow the suffix (后缀) to be expressed in 16 other alphabets, including traditional and simplified Chinese characters.

But there are still some problems to work out. Experts have discussed what to do with characters that have several different meanings. This is particularly true of Chinese.

Most experts doubt the change will have a major effect on how the Internet is used. “There will be some competition between companies to obtain popular words for addresses.”

27. The approval of the use of 16 languages by ICANN will allow web users to ________.

C) Chinese characters

D) symbols and signs

29. Which of the following is one of the problems in using the new system？

Passage 2

Individuals and businesses have legal protection for intellectual property they create and own. Intellectual property _1_ from creative thinking and may include products, services, processes, and ideas. Intellectual property is protected from misappropriation (盗用）.Misappropriation is taking the intellectual property of others without _2_ compensation and using it for monetary gain. Legal protection is provided for the owners of intellectual property. The three common types of legal protection are patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Patents provide exclusive use of inventions. If the U.S. Patent Office _3_ a patent, it is confirming that the intellectual properly is unique. The patent prevents others from making, using, or selling the invention without the owner’s _4_ for a period of 20 years. Copyrights are similar to patents except that they are applied to artistic works. A copyright protects the creator of an original artistic or intellectual work, such as a song or a novel. A copyright gives the owner exclusive rights to copy _5_, display, or perform. the work. The copyright prevents others from using and selling the work. The lehgth of a copyright is _6_ the lifetime of the author plus an additional 70 years. Trademarks are words, names, or symbols that identify the manufacturer of a product and _7_ it from similar goods of others. A servicemark is similar to a trademark but is used to identify services. A trademark prevents others from using the __8_ or a similar word, name, or symbol to take advantage of the recognition and _9_ of the brand or to create confusion in the marketplace.Upon registration, a trademark is usually granted for a period of ten years. It can be _10_ for additional ten-year periods indefinitely as long as the mark’s use continues.

A)recurred

B)identical

C)due

D)typically

E)grants

F)parallel

G)popularity

H)distinguish

I)retrieves

J)renewed

K)distribute

L)results

M)random

N)permission

O)instantaneously

第1空答案是：

Questions are based on the following passage.

Many of the most damaging and life threatening types of weather, such as torrential rains and severe thunderstorms, begin quickly, strike suddenly, and disappear rapidly, destroying small regions while leaving neighboring areas untoucheD．(79) Conventional (普通) computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to see clearly the small atmospheric changes that come before these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at location typically separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, conventional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large regions than they do forecasting specific local events.

Until recently, the observation-intensive approach needed for accurate, very short range forecasts, or "nowcasts", was impracticable. The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was extremely high, and the difficulties involved in rapidly collecting and processing the raw weather data from such a network were beyond overcoming. Fortunately, scientific and technological advance have overcome most of these problems. Radar systems, automated weather instruments, and satellites are all capable of making detailed, nearly continuous observations over large regions at a relatively low cost. Communication satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and immediately, and modem computers can quickly compile and analyze this large volume of weather information. (80) Meteorologists (气象学家) and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment capable of transforming raw weather data into words, symbols, and vivid graphic displays that forecasters can interpret easily and quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality.

ons make a single standardised product. Division L makes component L, which is supplied to both Division M and external customers.

Division M makes product M using one unit of component L and other materials. It then sells the completed

product M to external customers. To date, Division M has always bought component L from Division L.

The following information is available:

Division L charges the same price for component L to both Division M and external customers. However, it does not incur the selling and distribution costs when transferring internally.

Division M has just been approached by a new supplier who has offered to supply it with component L for $37 per unit. Prior to this offer, the cheapest price which Division M could have bought component L for from outside the group was $42 per unit.

It is head office policy to let the divisions operate autonomously without interference at all.

Required:

(a) Calculate the incremental profit/(loss) per component for the group if Division M accepts the new supplier’s

offer and recommend how many components Division L should sell to Division M if group profits are to be

maximised. (3 marks)

(b) Using the quantities calculated in (a) and the current transfer price, calculate the total annual profits of each division and the group as a whole. (6 marks)

(c) Discuss the problems which will arise if the transfer price remains unchanged and advise the divisions on a suitable alternative transfer price for component L. (6 marks)
