[讨论]0408听力partC的几个疑问

DreaminGrass

第一篇是讲 I’d like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to building a house. It’s called Envelop Building.  Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation in the original condition.

39.According to the professor, what does the term “landscaping” refer to?
(A) Eliminating the original vegetation from the building site
(B) Making the houses in an area similar to one another
(C) Deciding where on a site a house will be built
(D) Surrounding a building with wildflowers and plants
答案给的是A.为什么是消除原来的植物??landscape不是美化,风景的意思吗?

第二篇是讲authorship
43.When does the Artist Copyright start?
我觉得这题出得很不严密.既可以问是最初的法律是怎么规定的,也可以是现行法律.
答案对应的是现行法律

In all the United States Copyright Law, Artists needed to take several steps to obtain copyright protection. The law as changed in 1978 and again 1989. For artists the current law means everything they create is automatically and immediately copyrighted. They don’t have to file any documents and under the protection of the Copyright Law.
从两处也可以推测出(B) After all documents are filed这个答案

46. What is an advantage of registering art with the United States Copyright Office?
原文是这么说的:
Registering art provides additional legal protection and also gives the people
around the world the ability to approach the honors about licensing and purchasing right.
(B) An artist has greater legal protection
(D) Artists are allowed to make changes in their own works.
答案给的是D,我选的是B.不知道怎么来的?

谢谢大家

关于第一篇，我觉得还要听（看）下面更后面的文字。

I’d like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to build a house. It’s called Envelop Building. Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of land-scraping. By which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants.

所以landscape的意思应该是在清理原来自然野生植物的基础上，人为地美化风景。

至于第二篇,第43题“When does the Artist Copyright start?”使用了一般现在时，并且For artists the current law means everything they create is automatically and immediately copyrighted.They don’t have to file any documents and under the protection of the Copyright Law恰恰说明了现今的艺术家在艺术品完成后自动获得了版权，无需去注册。所以选(D) The moment the work of art is finished.

第46题，根据原文同意楼主的意见，选B.
