试题分析：英国摄像师大卫的相机被一群猴子抢走后，猴子的自拍照引起了一起专利版权诉讼案件，按照美国的版权法：对于摄影作品，谁按下的快门，其版权归谁；而非人类的对像是不能请求对作品的版权的；大卫花了很多钱才购得相机，所以他认为他拥有版权。谁会赢得诉讼呢？

【1】C 前句：最好的照片上一只猴子对着相机露着牙齿微笑。后句：没有人知道三年后会引出一起版权的诉讼。可以推测出这里填把相片作了“销售、发表”这类的句子，故选C： Slater然后把相片卖出去并且在网上很受欢迎。

【2】D 前句说：网站未经允许把猴子的相片发表了，后句说网站拒绝那样做。可以推测出所填内容是要求网站做什么，故选D：Slater说既然他有版权，网站得删除发现在网上的图片。

【3】A 前句说：根据美国版权法，谁按的快门，谁就拥有相片的版权；后句说：美国版权法规定作品出自非人类对象的，不得申请版权。可以推测出，所填内容是说明相片是怎样产生的。故选A：是猴子，而不是Slater按下了相机快门。

【4】E 后句说，他说他买的相机，花了许多钱。可以推测，所填内容会反应相机与照片之间的关系。故选E：Slater争辩说相片来自相机，所以就属于他。

【5】B 后面问：你认为谁会赢得这场诉讼？可以推测出前句是表达争辩还未有结果的意思，故选B：截至现在，猴子自拍照还没有结果。
