The Authors Guild, a writing association, has started the new year successfully. First, the group, which represents the interests of writers, (5)asked the Supreme Court to review an October appeals court ruling, which supported Google’s right to digitize out-of-print books without an author’s permission. A few days later, the association raised another issue when it released a letter to publishers demanding better contract terms for authors.
(6)Both moves come as many writers find it harder and harder to make a living from their writing. Since 2009, the mean income for writers has gone down 30 percent, says the association’s executive director, Mary Rasenberger.
"It’s alarming. Incomes are now down to unsustainable levels, and that means that even the authors, who have been writing for decades, are now being forced to seek other work," she says. "So, we are looking at this in a comprehensive way: Why this happening, and what can we do about it?"
(7)Rasenberger says the Google Books case raised the issue of copyright protection. Among other things, the association says its writers should get a higher percentage of e-book income and authors should also be able to retain the rights to their own books.
5. What did the Authors Guild do in the new year?
6. Why did the Authors Guild take the two moves in the new year?
7. What issue is the Google Book case concern with?
选项
A、Because there are more and more writers.
B、Because it’s hard to make a living for writers.
C、Because it wants to find new jobs for writers.
D、Because writers got 13% less income since 2009.
答案
B
解析
新闻开头介绍了作家协会采取的两个行动,然后指明这么做是因为作家们发现通过写作谋生已经变得越来越难了(harder and harder to make a living),B与新闻原意相同,故为答案。A“有越来越多的作家”与事实相反,新闻说的是有不少作家想转行。虽作家协会的初衷是提高作家的收入,而不是让作家换工作,故C“想帮作家找新工作”错误。D只是谋生艰难的例子,不具概括性,且新闻中提到自2009年作家收入降低了30%,而选项数据为13%,故排除。
