It is perhaps the most performed song in the world.A birthday party wouldn’t be complete without participants joyously belting out the song around a big birthday cake. 41
42 But if someone wants to do it in movies or TV shows or in any other commercial activities, he needs to pay the Warner Music Group for the right. 43
44 According to an August 4 The New York Times story, a class action lawsuit has been filed by a group of independent artists.Lawyers in the case said they had found evidence in the pages of a nearly centuryold songbook that proves the song’s copyright — first issued in 1935 — is no longer valid.
A federal judge may rule on the case in the coming weeks, reported The New York Times.
If the song becomes part of the public domain (范围), then the Warner Music Group will lose millions of dollars in licensing fees in the future. 45 These people think it is unfair that Happy Birthday to You has long since survived anyone involved in its creation, but is still owned by a corporation than charges for its use.
A.Yet Happy Birthday to You is private property and protected by copyright.
B.According to a report, Happy Birthday to You is believed to be netting the company D|S2 million fees a year.
C.It is fine if you sing it by yourself.
D.It’s common to sing this song personally.
E.But this unreasonable situation could soon be changed.
F.Legally, it is supposed to be paid for the right of using this song.
G.It would also be a victory for those who see the song as highlighting the copyright problems.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一群独立艺术家因《祝你生日快乐》版权问题而对华纳因音乐发起了集体诉讼。如果胜诉,华纳音乐将会在未来损失几百万美元的许可费。
41.前文提到“It is perhaps the most performed song in the world. A birthday party wouldn’t be complete without participants joyously belting out the song around a big birthday cake. (这可能是世界上被演绎最多的歌曲。如果没有参与者围着一个大生日蛋糕欢快地高唱这首歌,生日派对就不完整了)”,第二段第二句提到“But if someone wants to do it in movies or TV shows or in any other commercial activities, he needs to pay the Warner Music Group for the right. (但如果有人想在电影、电视节目或任何其他商业活动中使用它,他就需要向华纳音乐集团支付版权费)”。由此判断,因为华纳音乐拥有《祝你生日快乐》这首歌的版权,因此在电视节目上演出的话可能要支付版权费用,根据上下文内容可知,此处与上文在逻辑上存在转折关系,同时空处引出了下文内容。A项“Yet Happy Birthday to You is private property and protected by copyright. (然而,《祝你生日快乐》是私人财产,受版权保护)”该项符合文意。故选A。

(但如果有人想在电影、电视节目或任何其他商业活动中使用它,他就需要向华纳音乐集团支付版权费)”可知,如果在公开的或者商业活动中使用是需要支付版权费用的,而根据空后But的转折可知,空处可将“个人使用”和“商业使用”进行对比。C项“It is fine if you sing it by yourself. (如果你自己唱的话就没有问题)”该项符合文意。故选C。
43.根据前文“he needs to pay the Warner Music Group for the right(他就需要向华纳音乐集团支付版权费)”可知,在电视节目或者商业活动中使用将会支付版权费用给华纳音乐,由此判断,华纳音乐也因此获得了很多收益。B项“According to a report, Happy Birthday to You is believed to be netting the company $2 million fees a year.(据报道,《祝你生日快乐》每年为该公司带来200万美元的净收入)”该项符合文意。故选B。
44.根据后文“According to an August 4 The New York Times story, a class action lawsuit has been filed by a group of independent artists. (据《纽约时报》8月4日报道,一群独立艺术家发起了集体诉讼)”可知,本段描述了一群独立的艺术家对生日歌版权问题提起了集体诉讼,与上一段的对版权付费情况形成对比。E项“But this unreasonable situation could soon be changed. (但是这种不合理的状况可能很快就会改变)”该项符合文意。故选E。
45.后文提到“These people think it is unfair that Happy Birthday to You has long since survived anyone involved in its creation, but is still owned by a corporation than charges for its use. (这些人认为,《祝你生日快乐》这首歌的创作者早已去世,但仍归一家公司所有,不收取使用费,这是不公平的)”,其中“These people think it is unfair(这些人认为不公平)”可与G选项中的those对应,G项“It would also be a victory for those who see the song as highlighting the copyright problems. (这对那些认为这首歌强调了版权问题的人而言也是一场胜利)”该项符合文意。故选G。

16.考查非谓语动词。句意:它无处不在,从酒吧、餐馆、海滩到企业、家庭甚至山上。分析句式结构可知,此处用非谓语动词定语,修饰everywhere,因为range和everywhere之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作定语。故填ranging。
17.考查形容词。句意:巴西音乐是一种保持许多重要历史时刻鲜活的传统方式,也是一种将传统代代相传的惊人方式。根据空格后的名词way可知,此处用提示词的形容词形式traditional作定语修饰名词way。故填traditional。
18.考查冠词。句意:同上。分析句意可知,此处用不定冠词表泛指,又因为amazing是元音因素开头,所以用an。故填an。
19.考查名词。句意:几乎所有的仪式都以音乐为主。分析句式结构可知,此处用名词作主语,再根据空格前的all可知,应该用名词的复述形式。故填ceremonies。
20.考查被动语态。句意:它被用来反映人们的热情,经常讲述一个故事或显示重要事件。根据上文的It is可知,本句的时态为一般现在时,又因为use和it之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is used。
21.考查介词。句意:这些文字讲述了人们的历史和灵魂,表达了对自由和爱的渴望。分析句意再根据空格前的desire可知,此处用介词for构成固定搭配desire for表示“对……的渴望”。故填for。
22.考查非谓语动词。句意:汇集了许多不同背景的风格,巴西创造了世界公认的独特音乐。分析句式结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作后置定语,又因为recognize和music之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填recognized。
23.考查定语从句。句意:在巴西的桑贝斯鼓乐中很容易看到非洲的影响,它是贝斯音乐和各种鼓点的混合。分析句式结构可知,此处是定语从句,先行词是物,且从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词which来引导。故填which。
24.考查动词不定式。句意:当地人的民间音乐与更现代的声音混合在一起,创造了巴西流行音乐。分析句式结构可知,此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to create。
25.考查副词。句意:音乐无疑是巴西文化的重要组成部分。分析句式结构可知,此处用提示词的副词形式certainly作状语表示“无疑、当然”。故填certainly。

On a clear autumn morning, as the leaves painted the ground with colors of gold and deep red, ten-year-old Anna met with an old violin hidden away in the attic (阁楼). The sunlight streamed through the dusty windows, throwing a warm glow on the forgotten instrument. Interested, she carefully brought the violin downstairs to show her family.
As Anna gently pulled on the strings (琴弦), a pleasant sound filled the room with an unforgettable beauty. The music seemed to transport her to an amazing world, making Anna fall in love with the violin and the attractive melodies (旋律) it could create immediately. From that moment on, Anna’s heart was taken by the world of music and the power of artistic expression.
She spent hours practicing in her room, her fingers dancing across the strings as she attempted to recreate the beautiful melodies she had heard. At first, the notes were shaky, but Anna’s determination and love for music kept her going. She was lost in each practice, hungry to master the violin and share her music with the world.
Gradually, Anna found pleasure in the music she created. The violin became her voice, allowing her to express emotions and stories that words could not. She would play for her family, friends, and anyone who would listen, eager to share the beauty and joy that music brought into her life. Sometimes, her mother was amazed at Anna’s musical talent.
As Anna grew older, she started to compare her skills with those of famous musicians, leading her to doubt her own talent and lose confidence. At last, she avoided playing in front of the audience (观众).
Noticing Anna’s change, her mother decided to step in. One evening, after school, she sat beside Anna and gently asked about her concerns. At first, Anna was unwilling to open up, but her mother’s words of encouragement helped her find the courage to speak. “Take it easy, my dear. I’m always here to support you,” her mother comforted her.

With recognition from the audience, she rediscovered the joy of playing the violin.
Regaining confidence, Anna signed up for a music competition. With strong determination, she carefully prepared for the event, pouring her heart and soul into each practice session. Mother’s encouragement gave her the confidence to pursue her music dream. When Anna played on the stage, her violin sang with passion and emotion, captivating the audience and touching the judges.
