試題分析：英國(guó)攝像師大衛(wèi)的相機(jī)被一群猴子搶走后，猴子的自拍照引起了一起專利版權(quán)訴訟案件，按照美國(guó)的版權(quán)法：對(duì)于攝影作品，誰(shuí)按下的快門，其版權(quán)歸誰(shuí)；而非人類的對(duì)像是不能請(qǐng)求對(duì)作品的版權(quán)的；大衛(wèi)花了很多錢才購(gòu)得相機(jī)，所以他認(rèn)為他擁有版權(quán)。誰(shuí)會(huì)贏得訴訟呢？

【1】C 前句：最好的照片上一只猴子對(duì)著相機(jī)露著牙齒微笑。后句：沒(méi)有人知道三年后會(huì)引出一起版權(quán)的訴訟。可以推測(cè)出這里填把相片作了“銷售、發(fā)表”這類的句子，故選C： Slater然后把相片賣出去并且在網(wǎng)上很受歡迎。

【2】D 前句說(shuō)：網(wǎng)站未經(jīng)允許把猴子的相片發(fā)表了，后句說(shuō)網(wǎng)站拒絕那樣做。可以推測(cè)出所填內(nèi)容是要求網(wǎng)站做什么，故選D：Slater說(shuō)既然他有版權(quán)，網(wǎng)站得刪除發(fā)現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上的圖片。

【3】A 前句說(shuō)：根據(jù)美國(guó)版權(quán)法，誰(shuí)按的快門，誰(shuí)就擁有相片的版權(quán)；后句說(shuō)：美國(guó)版權(quán)法規(guī)定作品出自非人類對(duì)象的，不得申請(qǐng)版權(quán)�？梢酝茰y(cè)出，所填內(nèi)容是說(shuō)明相片是怎樣產(chǎn)生的。故選A：是猴子，而不是Slater按下了相機(jī)快門。

【4】E 后句說(shuō)，他說(shuō)他買的相機(jī)，花了許多錢。可以推測(cè)，所填內(nèi)容會(huì)反應(yīng)相機(jī)與照片之間的關(guān)系。故選E：Slater爭(zhēng)辯說(shuō)相片來(lái)自相機(jī)，所以就屬于他。

【5】B 后面問(wèn)：你認(rèn)為誰(shuí)會(huì)贏得這場(chǎng)訴訟？可以推測(cè)出前句是表達(dá)爭(zhēng)辯還未有結(jié)果的意思，故選B：截至現(xiàn)在，猴子自拍照還沒(méi)有結(jié)果。
