Text 2
本段是背景段,讲过去的事情。只需看懂第一句“过去的几十年中,上千个商业方法被授予专利。”
本段转折。“将会用一个案例来全面审查商业方法专利”。最后一句“它有可能排除一种专利(即上文的business-method patent)”
26. Business-method patents have recently aroused concern because of
[A] their limited value to business
[B] their connection with asset allocation
[C] the possible restriction on their granting
[D] the controversy over authorization
选[C],根正苗红的同义替换。possible= potential , eliminate= restriction
[A] 无中生有 [B] 用第一段的一个小例子中的细节捏造选项 [D] controversy 无中生有。
27. Which of the following is true of the Bilski case?
[A] Its ruling complies with the court decisions
[B] It involves a very big business transaction
[C] It has been dismissed by the Federal Circuit
[D] It may change the legal practices in the U.S.
选[D] potential= may ,change 对应着第一段和第二段之间的转折。从本段的review,eliminate也可以看出这是一种转折。
全文一直没有讲Bilski case的判决的结果,而 [A] [C]都是在讲其判决结果,所以与原文相反。
[B] 是从原文“ a “very big deal””字面意识出发设置的干扰选项。a big deal 其实在英文中的意思是“重要”,而不是“生意(transaction)”
本题[D]还有may ,正确答案往往语气委婉,所以更加确定选这个选项。
28. The word “about-face” (Line 1,Para 3) most probably means
[A] loss of good will
[B] increase of hostility
[C] change of attitude
[D] enhancement of disnity
本题是词汇题,一定要返回原文通过上下文解题。Because 之前是说对business-method 的约束(curbs),而because之后说的是“正是联邦审判引入了business-method”,所以二者之间自然表明了是“态度的转变”。所以选[C]
本段第一句话没有看懂,直接跳过。第二句讲“联邦审判要求这个案子要12个法官审,而不是普通的3人小组,并且要求判断是否要重新考虑之前的Bank ruling” 由本句可以排除29 [A]
in the wake of= after .第一句:最高法院已经减少了对专利持有者的保护(protection)。而29[C] 减少了对专利持有者的尊重(esteem).其中esteem是对protection的偷梁换柱。第二句:举例子。法官发出信号: too many (过多的专利被授予了),表明法院认为很多business-method 不应该被授予,所以选[B] too many =often unnecessarily. [D]无中生有。
29. We learn from the last two paragraphs that business-method patents
[A] are immune to legal challenges
[B] are often unnecessarily issued
[C] lower the esteem for patent holders
[D] increase the incidence of risks
见上文的解析。本题[A] [B] 两项相反必去其一。
30. Which of the following would be the subject of the text?
[A] A looming threat to business-method patents
[B] Protection for business-method patent holders
[C] A legal case regarding business-method patents
[D] A prevailing trend against business-method patents
选择 [A] 。首先排除[B],与原文相反。[C]大帽子。[A] [D]的选择有一定难度。用串线法解题。第一段讲过去business method很容易被授予专利。其中第一段的最后一句话已经暗含着对这种做法的反对。第二段转折:将会用一个案例来全面审查商业方法专利。第三段:对business method的约束(curbs)是法院态度的巨大转变。最后一段明确提出reacting to the anti-patent trend at the supreme court .要注意的是原文始终没有说Bilski case的判决,因此只是一个looming (隐约地出现)的danger ,而不是已经盛行的趋势。
