Mark Zable, an inventive Texan, thinks it is. To protect his novel prod
11、uction process, which involves encasing the alcohol in batter and dunking it in a fryer, he recently applied for a patent. He wants to profit if others exploit his beery brainwave. Without patents to protect their creations, inventors would have little incentive to invent. But some Americans fret th
12、at patent protection has grown too strong. The system breeds so many lawsuits, they worry, that it throttles the innovation it is supposed to promote.Consider a suit filed on August 27th by Interval Licensing, a firm owned by Paul Allen, a cofounder of Microsoft. It targets everyone who is anyone in
13、 Silicon Valley, including Google, Apple, eBay, Yahoo! and Facebook. (But not Microsoft. ) It involves four patents covering inventions that improve an internet users online experience, such as suggestions for further reading related to a news article and pop-up features that display share prices. I
14、nterval claims these were pioneered at Mr. Allens now defunct Silicon Valley research laboratory and then patented between 2000 and 2004. It accuses each of its targets of violating one or more of the patents.Their response has been swift. Facebook called the suit “completely without merit“ while Go
15、ogle harrumphed about “people trying to compete in the courtroom instead of the marketplace“. In private, some executives accuse Mr. Allen of behaving like a “patent troll“a name given to firms that buy up patents solely in order to squeeze money out of companies that allegedly infringe them. Tech f
16、irms like trolls about as much as the Billy Goats Gruff did. An aggressive troll can hold up a billion-dollar product over a patent worth a fraction of that.By that strict definition, Mr. Allen is not a troll. The suit involves advances that Interval says were made in Mr. Allens own lab, not someone
17、 elses. But the case does have some trollish features, say Mr. Allens critics. Why, they ask, did Interval wait so long to assert its rights? Was it tempted by the large piles of cash that so many tech firms built up during the downturn?“Successful tech companies undoubtedly face a problem with out-
18、of-the-blue patent suits,“ says Michael Jacobs of Morrison a known transcript to an audio recording of each key being struck形成呼应。选项 D应该是正确选项。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：A）解析：解析 第 43题后面的段落是选项 E，题目已经给出。选项 E的首句中的 By repeatedly revising unlikely or incorrect letter assignments有暗指上文正在做什么测试或实验。再考虑第 42题的选项D。选项 D的后半段内容主要
19、对 Doug Fygar的新方法作了简单的描述。tests the message created by this assignment也指出要做 test。所以第 43题应选择一段和测试内容有关的选项。首先选项 A先讲了一些字母组合的一些规律，和选项 D中介绍的方法中考虑英语单词及字母的使用频率有关。In a final refinement 也有 test的意思，与选项 D和选项 E中的 test有前后关联。可以把选项 A作为备选。而如果把选项 B放在这里，和选项 E不搭配，和前文的分析也有悖。选项 D和选项 B中间衔接紧密，如果选项 D放于此处，选项 B、选项 D和之前的选项 G没有可以
20、连接的备选项。所以排除选项 D和选项 B。选项 C和选项 D有一定的内容联系，但是和后面一空给出的选项 E内容没有衔接，予以排除。选项 F和选项 C类似，和选项 D有一些内容联系，但是和选项 E没有联系。而且选项 F表述的内容更像是在选项 E后面的段落出现。所以可以排除选项 F。确定此题选择选项 A。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：F）解析：解析 选项 E的后半段讲如果满足 Tygar博士研发的软件的要求，那么这个软件将有很高的识别率。选项 A经过前文分析，不适宜在选项 E后面。而选项 B中的内容与选项 E的内容无交叉部分。选项 D中第一次提到 Tygar，从逻辑顺序上不适合放到选项 E后，另外从
21、内容上，如果放到选项 E后，内容联系前后颠倒，语序混乱。比较选项 C和 F的内容，C 主要说为了防止这些利用声音的攻击行为，Tygar 博士提供了一个简单的remedy，并又给出一个最终的解决方案 typed passwords be phased out, to be replaced with biometric scans or multiple types of authorisation。而选项 F则主要说声音攻击不如想象中的神秘，并且所需要的设备很好获得。考虑选项 C和 F两者内容的前后逻辑关系。声音攻击比较简单，而且很普遍，所以 Tygar博士才提供了一个 remedy，并最后建
22、议 typed passwords be phased out。所以可以推断出来，选项 F应该在选项 C之前。所以第 44题应该是选项 F。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：C）解析：解析 参考第 44题分析，应选择选项 C。至此，在初步选择完成后，整理顺序 GBDAEFC。排序完成后，应再通读一遍文章，审核前后段落词语衔接是否得当，语意是否自然连贯，逻辑关系发展是否合理，若检查出不当之处，应细加辨别并作出相应的调整，直至确信无误。九、Part C(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Our understanding of the Emotional System today is still in t
23、he Dark Ages. (46) This has its analogy to the time when people s understanding of our Solar System was based upon the belief that the Sun revolved around the Earth, as it certainly appeared that wayhowever, just the reverse was true. The problem was, as long as we believed the Sun went around the E
24、arth, we were limited as to how far we could go in the Solar System.We find the same condition existing today in regard to the “Emotional System. Society believes that our emotional feelings are a result of our experiences in our environment. In essence: something happened and it made me feel the wa
25、y I do. This belief, though it is certainly the way it appears, is just the reverse of how it really works.What happens to us as we embrace an emotional feeling is that it is first received by our brain, which converts it into electrical energy that flows through our body by means of the central ner
26、vous system. We can often “feel the charge“ in our body associated with the experience of emotions. (47) When this occurs an electromagnetic field is generated around our body which attracts to us another person who has an identical electromagnetic field around their body and the same emotional feel
27、ing in their heart.We have not been able to make much progress in the emotional area. Lets face it, although this age reflects great advancements in technology, the feelings in the hearts of men and women are still plagued by darkness.(48) Believing that something or someone made us feel the way we
28、do gives rise to the concept of victimization. To see self as a victim places the responsibility for our feelings on someone or something other than self. The real problem with this view is that if we are not responsible for having created our feelings, we are also unable to change those feelings an
29、d create new and different ones.This dilemma we face creates quite a struggle in life. Although we may externally struggle with different circumstances and situations, the emotional feelings associated with them are always the same frustration, resentment, anger, etc. (49) It is as if we have fallen
30、 into quicksand, gotten stuck, and the only way we know to extricate ourselves is to struggle. What we find is that the more we struggle to get out, the deeper in we sink.To state a simple rule: there is an inverse relationship between struggling with a problem and understanding the problem. (50) Un
31、derstanding how the emotional system really works allows the resolution of problems without struggle. This understanding is the key to unlocking the emotional doorway to enter into the Kingdom of Heavenly Feelings within us.（分数：10.00）_正确答案：(这与过去的一个时代很类似，当时人们对于太阳系的理解就是基于这样一种信念，即认为正如人们所看到的那样，太阳围绕着地球转。
32、其实，反过来才正确。)解析：解析 This has its analogy to the time/when peoples understanding of our Solar System was based upon the belief that (the Sun revolved around the Earth)，as/it certainly appeared that wayhowever，just the reverse was true考点透析 此句中是把现在和过去的两个时代进行类比，analogy 意为“类比，类推”，time 是先行词，when为关系副词，引导定语从句；
33、括号里面的是 belief的同位语，解释 belief的内容；as 此处为连词，译为“正如一样”，翻译时 as后面“人们所看到的那样”应提前才符合中文的语序，belief 的内容就完整的译为“认为太阳正如人们所看到的那样围绕着地球转”。_正确答案：(此时，我们身体周围产生电磁场，把另一个身体周围有相同电磁场、心中有相同情感体验的人吸引过来。)解析：解析 When this occurs/an electromagnetic field is generated/around our body/which attracts to US another person/who has an iden
34、tical electromagnetic field/around their body and the game emotional feeling/in their heart考点透析 此句中主句用的是被动语态，翻译时应把“我们”这个主语补上，转化成主动语态，which是关系代词作主语，指代 an electromagnetic field；who 引导的是定语从句，在从句中作主语，先行词是 person, identical与 same同义，意为“相同的，同一的”。_正确答案：(认为我们的感觉是由某件事或某个人所造成的，这导致我们产生受害的想法。把自己看作受害者，就等于认为自己的情感与
35、己无关，而是由别人或别的事所造成的。)解析：解析 Believing that/something or someone made us feel the way (we do) gives rise to the concept of victimizationTo see self as a victim/places the responsibility/for our feelings/on someone or something/other than self考点透析 两句话中的第一句是动名词形式作主语，that 引导的是宾语从句，括号里面的是 way的定语从句；victimiza
36、tion 意为“牺牲，欺骗，受害”；第二句是动词不定式作主语，other than 意为“而不是”；places the responsibility on意为“把责任推在上”。_正确答案：(我们似乎掉进了流沙中，被闲住了，我们知道能够出去的唯一办法就是挣扎。结果挣扎得越厉害，我们就陷得越深。)解析：解析 It is as if/we have fallen into quicksand，gotten stuck，and the only way (we know) to extricate ourselves/is to struggleWhat we find/is that/the mo
37、re we struggle to get out，the deeper in we sink考点透析 此句的第一句是 as if(好像，似乎)描述的状态，就是简单的主系表的结构。we know 是修饰way的定语从句，to extricate ourselves 是 way的定语，合译为“我们知道能够出去的唯一办法”；第二句的主语是 what引导的主语从句，也是主系表的结构，表语部分是“the morethe more(越越)”的句型。_正确答案：(了解情感系统是如何运行的可以使我们不用挣扎就能解决问题。这种了解是打开情感大门进入内心情感天堂王国的钥匙。)解析：解析 Understandin
38、g/how the emotional system really works/allows the resolution of problems/without struggle. This understanding is the key to/unlocking the emotional doorway/to enter into the Kingdom of Heavenly Feelings within us.考点透析 how 引导的是 understanding的宾语从句，allows 前面的全是主语；下一句中 to后面的内容都是 key的定语，unlock“开启”，此处译为“
39、打开”，the Kingdom of Heavenly Feelings within us译为“内心情感的天堂王国”。十、Section Writing(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十一、Part A(总题数：1，分数：10.00)1.Directions:You have been ill and hospitalized for one month.

45、efforts, dripping with sweat. However, the mill stays still. This drawing seems ridiculous, whereas it arouses peoples attention to its implied meaning that in the modern society many people are acting as“ donkeys“.Why is there such a phenomenon? A couple of reasons account for it. In the first plac
46、e, the belief that one should work hard is ingrained in ones mind while effectiveness is neglected. On the second place, it is integration that counts.

47、d factors, along with the decrease in internal driving force of the staff, will virtually drive the company till death.The best way to avoid the above situation is that management system should be done with overall grasping, scientific decomposition and integrated organization.
