【答案】CACD

【解析】這是一篇介紹知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的文章，說明文文體。介紹了知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的過去和現(xiàn)在以及我們對(duì)待保護(hù)知

識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的態(tài)度。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段最后一句可得知。A、B項(xiàng)是現(xiàn)在知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)的的對(duì)象，D項(xiàng)未提及.

2.推理判斷題。從第二段最后兩句可得知，在現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)社會(huì)里，許多擁有知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的東西可以在網(wǎng)上免費(fèi)

下載，這一慣例已經(jīng)在全世界掀起了一場(chǎng)大的風(fēng)暴，正極大地改變了人們對(duì)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的以往認(rèn)識(shí)，使得知

識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)愈加困難。

3.推理判斷題。依據(jù)同上。

4.主旨大意題。A、C項(xiàng)都不全面，B項(xiàng)不是主要內(nèi)容，D項(xiàng)最能概括。
