  • 第2题：

    Text 2 Over the past decade,thousands of patents have been granted for what are called business methods.Amazon.com received one for its"one-click"online payment system.Merrill Lynch got legal protection for an asset allocation strategy.One inventor patented a technique for lifting a box.Now the nation's top patent court appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents,which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago.In a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz the U.S.court of Appeals for the federal circuit said it would use a particular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents.In re Bilski,as the case is known,is"a very big deal",says DennisD.Crouch of the University of Missouri School of law.It"has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents."Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face,because it was the federal circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called state Street Bank case,approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets.That ruling produced an explosion in business-method patent filings,initially by emerging internet companies trying to stake out exclusive rights to specific types of online transactions.Later,more established companies raced to add such patents to their files,if only as a defensive move against rivals that might beat them to the punch.In 2005,IBM noted in a court filing that it had been issued more than 300 business-method patents despite the fact that it questioned the legal basis for granting them.Similarly,some Wall Street investment films armed themselves with patents for financial products,even as they took positions in court cases opposing the practice.The Bilski case involves a claimed patent on a method for hedging risk in the energy market.The Federal circuit issued an unusual order stating that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court's judges,rather than a typical panel of three,and that one issue it wants to evaluate is whether it should"reconsider"its state street Bank ruling.The Federal Circuit's action comes in the wake of a series of recent decisions by the supreme Court that has narrowed the scope of protections for patent holders.Last April,for example the justices signaled that too many patents were being upheld for"inventions"that are obvious.The judges on the Federal circuit are"reacting to the anti-patent trend at the Supreme Court",says HaroldC.Wegner,a patent attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School.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

    答案：B
    解析：
    本题考查对后两段中关于business-method patents相关信息的理解。在末段二句的例证中指出“法官们传递出太多的专利被授予了那些明显的发明”，可见B项是对此句的同义置换，为正确答案。A项是就四段二句设置的干扰选项，属篡改文意；C项是对末段首句设置的干扰项，用esteem偷换了原文中的protection；D项是就四段首句中的risk编撰的无中生有选项。

  • 第4题：


    How does codification of the laws affect governmental agents？( )

    A.The law will be interpreted objectively rather than subjectively.
    B.Government agencies have to compromise with factual conditions.
    C.Occasionally，governmental agencies have to redress，correct or adapt a law for their beneft.
    D.Laws cannot be altered or modified but they can be incremented with new court decisions and also through jurisprudence.

    答案：A
    解析：
    推断题。根据题干关键词codification of the laws affect governmental agents可定位到第三段第二、三句The government of a large group requires an elaborate organization，the practices of which may be made more consistent and effective by codification.How codes of law affect governmental agents is the principal subject of jurisprudence，由此可知，政府需要elaborate organization(精心组织)，政府的行为需要more consistent and effective(更为始终如一、有效)，即政府机构工作人员必须严格按照法律规定，客观地履行自己的职责，故本题选A。参考译文：政府机关发展的过程中最重要的一点是管理行为法规的编纂，法律或法学研究通常涉及政府过去或现在的一些守则和做法。它还关注有关行为功能分析的一些问题。什么是法律？法律在政府管理中发挥什么作用？尤其是，它对管理者和政府机构成员的行为有什么影响？法律通常有两个重要特征。首先，它规范行为。它不是从表面上描述这种行为，而是就其行为对其他人的影响而言——对政府管理对象的影响。例如，当我们被告知一个人作伪证时，我们没有被告知他实际上说了什么。“抢劫”和“攻击”也不是指具体的应对方式。这些都只是强调令人厌恶的行为——在伪证中，口头答复与某些事实情况之间没有习惯性的对应关系，抢劫是对积极强化行为的消除，攻击则是对人身的伤害行为。第二，法律规定或暗示后果，通常是惩罚。因此，法律是由政府机构维持的强化措施的说明。法律在编纂前，应急措施可能成为一种控制性做法，也可能代表着通过法律生效的新做法。因此，法律既是对过去做法的描述，也是对将来类似做法的保证。法律是一种行为准则，在某种意义上，它规定了某些行为的后果，反过来又“规范”行为。法律对管理机构的影响。一大群人的政府需要一个精心组织的机构，可通过编纂法规使该机构的运行更加一致有效。法律规范如何影响政府机构是法理学的主要话题。行为过程很复杂，虽然这可能不算新颖。为了维护或“执行”出现意外情况的政府管理，一个机构必须确定一个人非法行为的事实，并且必须解释一个守则来确定惩罚，而且处罚必须执行。通常把这些部分划分为机构的特殊部门。个体“不在他人之下，而在法律之下”带来的好处通常是显而易见的，伟大的法律编纂者在文明史上享有盛誉。然而，编纂并不会改变政府行为的本质，也不会弥补其所有的缺陷。

    问答题
    Most Americans have great vigor and enthusiasm. They prefer to discipline themselves rather than be disciplined by others. They pride themselves on their independence, their right to make up their own minds. They are prepared too take the initiative, even when there is a risk in doing so. They have courage and do not give in easily. They will take any sort of job anywhere rather than be unemployed. They do not care to be looked after by the government. The average American changes his or her job nine or ten times during his or her working life.

    正确答案：
    大多数的美国人精力充沛,热情高涨。他们宁愿自律,也不愿受制于人。他们为能独立行事和有权做出自己的决定而感到自豪。他们做事会采取主动,即使这样做要冒风险,也在所不惜。他们有勇气,不会轻易屈服。他们愿意到任何地方干任何工作,也不愿意失业。他们不想得到政府的照顾。普通美国人一生中要换九到十次工作。

    Over the past decade, thousands of patents have been granted for what are called business methods. Amazon.com received one for its "one-click"online payment system. Merrill Lynch got legal protection for an asset allocation strategy. One inventor patented a technique for lifting a box.
    Now the nation's top patent court appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents, which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago. In a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said it would use a particular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents. In re Bil-ski, as the case is known, is "a very big deal," says Dennis D．Crouch of the University of Mis-souri School of law. It "has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents."
    Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets. That ruling produced an explosion in business-method patent filings, initially by emerging internet companies trying to stake out exclusive rights to specific types of online transactions.

    Business-method patents have recendy aroused concern because of

    A.their limited value to businesses
    B.their connection with asset allocation
    C.the possible restriction on their granting
    D.the controversy over their authorization

    答案：C
    解析：
    推断题。题干问为什么商业专利在近来引起了关注，根据出题顺序，本题的答题区间在前两段。第一段主要讲在过去十年间，成千上万的商业方法被授予了专利。第二段第一句指出国家最高专利法庭准备缩减商业专利(scale back on business．method patents)。由此可见，C项“它们的授予可能受到限制”是对原文的同义置换，故为正确答案，restriction on即相当于scale back on。A项“它们对企业的价值有限”，原文并未提到。B项“它们与资产配置相关”，利用第一段中出现的“asset allocation”形成干扰项，属于过度推断。D项“它们的获批引起争议”较有迷惑性，但原文说的是十年来一直争议不断，而题干问的是最近(recently)，因此属于偷换概念。

  • 第14题：

    What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow , orange ,red? If you do ,you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
    Colours do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand ,black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainter green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
    Light and bright colours make people not only hppier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
    "You would rather follow than red" means_______.


    a.you don't like to follow others
    b.you would be a member rather than a leader
    c.you would be afraid of following others
    d.you would like to be a leader rather than a follower
