Books were stamped with “Human Authored” logos (标识) at this week’s London Book Fair. The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.”
Visitors to the fair were also given copies of Don’t Steal This Book, a collection of 10,000writers including Nobel winner Kazuo Ishiguro and Richard Osman, in which the pages are completely blank. The back cover states: “The UK government must not legalize book theft to benefit AI companies.”
The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models — and against UK government proposals that could legalize this practice. Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner, the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.”
The protest comes just a week before the UK government is due to publish an economic impact assessment of proposed changes to copyright law. The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training.
For the authors behind Don’t Steal This Book, the blank pages are a powerful symbol: they represent the future of writing if AI companies continue to use creative work without payment — a world where authors are left with nothing. As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed.
1.Why were the books stamped with “Human Authored” logos?
A.To show public sympathy for authors. B.To fight AI’s stealing copyrighted works.
C.To promote newly-published works. D.To introduce promising authors.
2.What does the underlined word “victims” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Ordinary readers. B.Literary promotion campaigns.
C.Human writers. D.Generative AI models.
3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The protest weakening UK’s economy.
B.Copyright law enjoying public support.
C.AI firms prioritizing commercial profits.
D.The UK government favoring AI companies.
4.How does the Society of Authors view the empty book?
A.It is a band-aid fix B.It stands the test of time.
C.It is a game changer. D.It works once and for all.

A girl who turns up to school dressed head-to-toe in pink will probably pass unnoticed. If a boy does the same, he will inevitably face stares. Even the most non-traditional parent would think twice about exposing their son to that.
Children start paying attention to gender differences much earlier than some parents realize, according to psychologist Christia Brown, “Society emphasizes that gender is important really early in a kid’s life,” she says. “We label it a lot in our language — we use gender as nouns all the time. So we frequently say ‘oh, there’s that girl’ or ‘come on boys, let’s go get in the car.’” Research suggests children’s recognition of gender is more due to adults pointing it out than any inborn awareness of it.
Gendered toys credit certain types of skills and strengths to one gender or the other. So, when a child only plays with toys marketed for their gender, they learn a certain set of skills but do not engage as much in other types of learning. This can lead to imbalanced development in boys and girls as they grow older.
The biggest concern around buying gendered toys is that they can impact how children see themselves. Gendered representation imposes (强加于) society’s ideas of what they should like and do instead of letting them choose for themselves what their interests and hobbies are. This can have influence on what that child decides to study in school and ultimately choose as a career.
Many retailers have made real progress over the last few years, dropping gender labels in stores and online — a new research shows a 70% decrease in the use of online gender navigation options since 2012 — but there’s still work to do to challenge the stereotyped (老一套的) ways that toys are often packaged and promoted.
Researchers hope that one day, toys will stop being broken up by gender and will instead be categorized by type, like puzzle toys, dolls or children’s bikes. There would still be dress-up dolls and monster toy trucks in that world, but instead of being just pink or blue, they would come in every color of the rainbow. Toy choices should be based on kids’ personal interests, and not on their gender.
1.What does Christia Brown say about gender differences?
A.They are probably unnoticed. B.They are socially constructed.
C.They are biologically determined. D.They are universally acknowledged.
2.What aspects of children are negatively affected by gendered toys?
A.Their academic performance. B.Their interpersonal relationship.
C.Their behaviours and attitudes. D.Their physical strength and fitness.
3.What should we put efforts to change?
A.How the toys are marketed. B.Where the toys are sold.
C.When the toys are rolled out. D.Who the toys are targeted at.
4.What do the researchers expect of future toys?
A.They should be colourful. B.They should be gender-neutral.
C.They should cater to kids’ tastes. D.They should cover wider categories.

【导语】主要介绍伦敦书展推出人类原创标识与空白抗议书籍,反对AI未经授权盗用作品,以及英国政府相关版权政策的争议。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.”(英国作家协会将该标识描述为保护和弘扬人类创作力、抵制市场中AI标注内容的重要标识。)”可知,加盖“Human Authored”标识是为了抵制AI盗用受版权保护的作品。
2.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.”(人工智能行业建立在被盗用的作品之上,这一行为存在受害者;生成式AI与被训练作品的创作者竞争,夺走了他们的生计。)”可知,AI盗用创作作品损害了人类作家的权益,因此,画线单词指代“人类作家”。
3.主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. (英国政府最初提出一项制度,除非版权所有者拒绝,否则AI公司可使用版权作品,这与版权法核心原则完全相悖。)”可知,第四段主要讲述英国政府出台相关政策倾向于偏袒AI公司。
4.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed.(英国作家协会表示,这本空白书籍只是一项临时补救措施,真正的解决办法是建立保护人类创作力而非商业贪欲的版权制度。)”可知,在协会看来这本空白书籍只是权宜之计、临时补救办法,与A选项权宜之计含义相符。

【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了性别化玩具对儿童发展的负面影响及未来玩具应去性别化的期望。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research suggests children’s recognition of gender is more due to adults pointing it out than any inborn awareness of it.(研究表明,孩子对性别的认知更多源于成年人的刻意强调,而非天生就有这种意识)”可知,Christia Brown认为性别差异是社会构建的。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段“The biggest concern around buying gendered toys is that they can impact how children see themselves. Gendered representation imposes (强加于) society’s ideas of what they should like and do instead of letting them choose for themselves what their interests and hobbies are. This can have influence on what that child decides to study in school and ultimately choose as a career.(购买性别化玩具最大的担忧是,它们会影响孩子对自己的看法。性别化的表现强加了社会对他们应该喜欢和做什么的看法,而不是让他们自己选择自己的兴趣爱好。这可能会影响孩子在学校选择学习的内容,并最终影响他们选择的职业)”可知,性别化玩具对孩子的行为和态度产生负面影响。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第五段中“but there’s still work to do to challenge the stereotyped (老一套的) ways that toys are often packaged and promoted.(但是,要挑战玩具通常的包装和推广方式中的刻板印象,仍有许多工作要做)”可知,我们应该努力改变玩具的营销方式。故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Researchers hope that one day, toys will stop being broken up by gender and will instead be categorized by type, like puzzle toys, dolls or children’s bikes.(研究人员希望有一天,玩具不再按性别分类,而是按类型分类,比如拼图玩具、娃娃或儿童自行车)”可知,研究人员期望未来的玩具应该是性别中立的。故选B。
