- A. have drawn lessons from Hollywood.
- B. have surpassed cable in revenue.
- C. are unpopular with advertisers.
- D. are confronted with a real threat.
答案：D
答案句：Ever since taking on Netflix Inc. at its own game, old Hollywood has struggled to turn a profit in streaming, with the likes of Disney+, Peacock and Paramount+ losing billions of dollars each year, sparking concerns that the services will never be as profitable as cable once was.
参考译文：自从与Netflix公司正面竞争以来，好莱坞老牌公司一直在流媒体领域艰难盈利，迪士尼+、Peacock和Paramount+等平台每年亏损数十亿美元，引发人们担忧这些服务永远不会像有线电视那样盈利。
定位线索：题干“According to Paragraph 1”定位第1段；文中“struggled to turn a profit”“losing billions of dollars”对应选项D“are confronted with a real threat”（面临真实威胁）。
解析：题干问合法流媒体服务的情况，答案句指出它们亏损严重、盈利困难，这正是“面临真实威胁”的同义转述。选项A“从好莱坞吸取教训”无中生有；选项B“收入超过有线电视”与原文“永远不会像有线电视那样盈利”相反；选项C“不受广告商欢迎”文中未提及。
32. It can be learned that streamers like Netflix ____
- A. played a part in the fight against illegal file-sharing.
- B. reaped benefits from the war with digital pirates.
- C. promised to become big job creators in the US.
- D. used to collaborate with file-uploading platforms.
答案：A
答案句：Initially the rise of legitimate online businesses such as Netflix actually helped curb digital piracy, which had largely been based on file uploads.
参考译文：最初，Netflix等合法在线业务的兴起实际上帮助遏制了数字盗版，这些盗版主要基于文件上传。
定位线索：题干“streamers like Netflix”对应文中“legitimate online businesses such as Netflix”；文中“helped curb digital piracy”对应选项A“played a part in the fight against illegal file-sharing”（在打击非法文件共享中发挥作用）。
解析：答案句明确指出Netflix等合法流媒体帮助遏制了数字盗版，而盗版主要基于文件上传，因此选项A正确。选项B“从与盗版者的战争中获益”文中未提；选项C“承诺成为美国大就业创造者”无中生有；选项D“曾与文件上传平台合作”与原文“遏制”相反。
33. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the MPA ____
- A. was denied cooperation by Silicon Valley.
- B. led a national protest against online piracy.
- C. was urged to form an enforcement task force.
- D. failed to win support from local authorities.
答案：A
答案句：Rivkin joined the MPA in 2017 after the organization failed five years earlier to build consensus between Hollywood and Silicon Valley to win passage of legislation in Congress aimed at stopping online piracy.
参考译文：里夫金于2017年加入MPA，此前该组织在五年前未能促成好莱坞与硅谷之间达成共识，以推动国会通过旨在阻止网络盗版的立法。
定位线索：题干“Paragraph 4”“the MPA”定位第4段；文中“failed to build consensus between Hollywood and Silicon Valley”对应选项A“was denied cooperation by Silicon Valley”（被硅谷拒绝合作）。
解析：答案句说明MPA未能与硅谷达成共识，即硅谷未给予合作，因此选项A正确。选项B“领导全国抗议”无中生有；选项C“被敦促组建执法工作组”文中未提；选项D“未能获得地方当局支持”与原文“帮助地方当局逮捕盗版者”不符。

- B. will possibly overwhelm legitimate streamers.
- C. is unlikely to diminish in the near future.
- D. has been underestimated by some analysts.
答案：C
答案句：“While there is some optimism that emerging countermeasures and best practices may see piracy begin to plateau by 2027, there is no consensus among stakeholders as to when it may begin to decline,” says analyst Steve Hawley.
参考译文：分析师史蒂夫·霍利表示：“尽管有人乐观地认为新兴对策和最佳实践可能使盗版在2027年前趋于平稳，但利益相关者对其何时开始下降尚未达成共识。”
定位线索：题干“According to Hawley”定位末段；文中“no consensus among stakeholders as to when it may begin to decline”对应选项C“is unlikely to diminish in the near future”（近期不太可能减少）。
解析：霍利指出盗版何时下降没有共识，意味着近期内不太可能减少，因此选项C正确。选项A“新立法无法遏制”程度过重，文中未提立法无效；选项B“将压垮合法流媒体”无中生有；选项D“被一些分析师低估”与原文不符。

定位线索：题干“Which of the following is emphasized”问全文强调内容→答案句取自第2段“illegal streaming sites have achieved profit margins approaching 90%”、第3段“costs the US economy about $30 billion in lost revenue a year and some 250,000 jobs”及第4段“The global impact is about $71 billion annually”；文中“costs the US economy about $30 billion in lost revenue”对应选项D“economic harm from illegal streaming”。
解析：题干问全文强调的内容，答案句集中描述了非法流媒体造成的经济损失：美国每年损失300亿美元收入和25万工作岗位，全球影响710亿美元，这些直接对应选项D“非法流媒体造成的经济损害”。选项A“协调反盗版行动的必要性”在文中虽有提及（如ACE合作），但非全文强调重点；选项B“版权侵权的犯罪性质”文中提到“organized crime”，但只是部分内容，非主要强调；选项C“消除网络盗版的前景”文中未提及，属无中生有。
