问题 问答题

中央电视台2003年9月11日《焦点访谈》题为“顶风排污,严查不怠”。下面是记者采访的情况。记者首先找到了群众反映污染比较严重的湘中化工厂,这家化工厂年生产用做建材涂料用的钛白粉3000吨。因为厂区的人对记者非常敏感,记者从附近的一家居民楼的楼顶上用摄像机镜头拍下这个厂排污的情况。记者:现在从这个居民楼的楼顶上,我们可以看过去,这个厂的两个大烟囱排放出来的工业废气,污染是非常严重的。在这里可以闻到一种非常刺鼻的味道,而且有一种隆隆噪声。这个厂恰恰位于株洲市的居民密集区,在这里的居民就长期笼罩在这种废气和噪声的污染之下。这个厂的污水处理池的水面是静止的,通过这个静止的水面,我们大致可以判断出,这个厂的污水处理设施也很有可能没有运行起来。然后记者和国家环保局的稽查人员对这个厂进行了突击检查,顺着该厂厂长的指引我们看到了在居民楼顶上拍摄到的这个污水池,紧挨着污水处理池的是一个厕所。据厂长介绍,厕所和排污池相邻已经有二三十年的时间了,所以这里的人对此见怪不怪。这种污染还不算是最严重的,危害性更大的是大量含有有害化学物质的工业废水的排放。记者:那我们再来看一下,现在这个水是通过这个水道流过来,流到这边来。我们来看一下,没有经过任何处理的污水,就沿着这条水渠流过来。我们可以看到现在钛白粉的粉尘浓度还是非常高的,而且从这里来的一条黑的水流,里面都是煤灰。然后通过这条水道又流入了湘江。对如此严重的污染问题厂方领导竟不以为然。在查阅该厂资料时记者发现,该厂曾因污染问题被省环保部门亮出生死牌,但非法排污现象屡禁不止。资料显示,这个厂废水年排放量达85.23万吨,废气年排放量达7.8万标立方米。按有关部门的要求,截止到2000年该厂就应该彻底完成治理工程达标计划,但是3年时间过去了,治理工程始终没有完工。记者跟随生产技术人员进入了这个污水处理系统的工程区,这里根本就没有运转。据了解,整个污水处理系统需要500万的投资,现在只投资了100多万,致使设备始终无法运行。在株洲市像这种排污设施不全和有设施不运行的企业还不只这一家。湖南株洲化工集团是一家生产经营基本化工原料化肥、农药和化学建材为主的国家特大型企业,排污设施齐全,但是群众举报这家重点工业企业,恰恰是株洲市最大的污染源。记者找到了一条与这个厂相通的排污渠,并委托株洲市环保局做了现场的污水取水采样。但是记者的暗访很快惊动了厂方,当记者和检查人员到达该厂时,污水处理池里刚刚还是平静的水面沸腾起来了。对此,厂方解释说,因为上午有一个泵坏了,临时停下来搞一些检修。尽管厂方对污水处理系统停止运转做出了种种解释,但是记者在该厂的设备运行记录中发现了问题。从运行记录上看,各种设备运行正常,但是厂方提前做完了当天的记录,而且把还没有到来的9月9日的记录做完了。记录上依然写着各设备运行一切正常,管道畅通,泵没有停过。记者在现场发现,污水处理池的药物添加水泵已经生锈,显然很长时间没有使用了。从这个生锈的水泵我们可以肯定,处理污水用的药物添加没有进行过,厂方的解释显然不能自圆其说。这个厂的工业废水根本没有进入污水处理系统,就直接排入到排污渠当中。顺着排污渠,记者找到了污水的最后去向。这股源自株洲化工厂的污水通过这条排污渠直接汇入了湘江,江面上有一条非常清晰的污水带。而湘江是长株潭地区的母亲河,长沙、株洲、湘潭三个城市的居民日常生活的用水就取自这条江。据了解,就这里的污染问题,当地的老百姓曾经多次向省市有关部门反映,但是始终没有结果。

就给定资料所涉及到的主要问题,用1200字左右的篇幅,自拟标题进行论述。要求深刻,有说服力。

单项选择题

Passage Two

When an invention is made, the inventor has three possible courses of action open to him: he can give the invention to the world by publishing it, keep the idea secret, or patent it.
A granted patent is the result of a bargain made between an inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly (垄断) and publishes full details of his invention to the public after that period terminates (终止).
Only in most exceptional circumstances is the life-span of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events.
The longest extension ever granted was to Georges Valensi: his 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry was extended until 1971 because for most of the patent’s normal life there was no color TV to receive and thus no hope of reward for the invention.
Because a patent remains permanently public after it has terminated, the shelves of the library attached to the patent office contain details of literally millions of ideas that are free for anyone to use and, if older than half a century, sometimes even re-patent. Indeed, patent experts often advise anyone wishing to avoid the high cost of conducting a search through live patents that the one sure way of avoiding violation of any other inventor’s right is to plagiarize a dead patent. Likewise, because publication of an idea in any other form permanently invalidates (使无效) further patents on that idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other areas of print. Much modern technological advance is based on these presumptions of legal security.
Anyone closely involved in patents and inventions soon learns that most "new" ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction to commercial practice, either through necessity of dedication, or through the availability of new technology, that makes news and money. The basic patent for the theory magnetic recording dates back to 1886. Many of the original ideas behind television originate from the late 19th and early 20th century. Even the Volkswagen rear engine car was anticipated by a 1904 patent of a cart with the horse at the rear.

The word "plagiarize" (Line 5, Para. 5) most probably means ______ .

A.steal and use

B.give reward to

C.make public

D.take and change
