Patent(申请专利) it！Patents are the best way to get credit for your work and help others continue advancing in that field.Heres what you need to know.A patent gives you the right to an invention.The patent protects its owner，which means the invention cant be copied or sold without their agreement. In exchange, the owner must reveal information about the invention.This contributes knowledge that helps other inventors improve on their own research.A patent usually lasts about 20 years.The first step to getting a patent is the application.The person applying must name the invention, explain its use and describe it clearly.The invention must be practical and contain some new characteristicsomething that hasnt been seen or used before.But not everything “new” can be patented.Many countries dont allow patents on things like new concepts, scientific theories, medical procedures or substances already found in nature.You may not be able to see patents, but theyre connected to nearly everything.There are patents on things you use every day, like plastic, medicine and your computer.There are patents on things that are unavailable on the market, too.Apple is wellknown for its patents on potential products, such as the “iBike” or the“iKey”Of course there are also patents on inventions like this.Take the antieating face mask for example.This device locks around your head with a metal cage covering your mouth.You can breathe and speak, but you cant eat!Although many patented inventions can be failures, theres plenty of room for success.So if you have a cool invention, try to patent it.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章的目的是为了告知我们申请专利的好处及如何申请专利，同时又介绍了并非所有新的东西都是专利，并建议我们如果有新的发明，就尝试着去申请专利。1Which of the following is NOT true according to the text？_B_AA patent can last for around 20 years.BEverything new can be patented.CYour invention is protected after you have applied for a patent.DSome patents are on the things that we use every day.解析：考查的是考生对文章细节的理解能力。从文章第三段第四句“But not everything “new” can be patented.”可知，不是所有新的东西都能申请专利。故正确答案为B。2We can infer that Apples iBike is_B_.Aa popular product Ba mere new conceptCa famous brand in the worldDa practical bike on the market解析：考查的是考生的推断判断能力。从文章第四段倒数一、二句“There are patents on things that are unavailable on the market，too.Apple is wellknown for its patents on potential products，such as the“iBike”or the“iKey”可知，苹果的iBike仅仅是一个新的概念而已，在市场上还买不到。故正确答案为B。3The underlined word“device” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by“_C_”AweaponBmedicineCequipmentDstrength解析：考查的是考生猜测词义的能力。从文章倒数第二段第二句“Take the antieating face mask for example”可知，这个单词的意思与设备有关。A项意为“武器”；B项意为“药品”；C项意为“设备”；D项意为“力量”。故正确答案为C。4The purpose of writing this passage is

our lives.Most of us cant go much longer than 10 minutes before we check our phones._1.F_There was a time, however, before smartphones even existed.1Watching Gigs Without Being Compelled to FilmBefore smartphones took over our lives, we actually watched concerts with our eyes._2.G_2Trying and Failing to Date Other PeopleDating without the help of the smartphone was a very real and painful situation.The sheer terror of actually having to approach a real person, in real life, is utterly unthinkable and we can all let out a sigh of relief for the invention of dating apps.3_3.B_Before access to online maps was a regular part of our world, we faced the very real danger of getting lost and having no idea how to get out.The fact that more of us didnt vanish off the face of the earth is frankly a miracle.4Making Proper Mixtapes, on Real TapesIf we wanted to express how we felt to others, we had to do the following.We went to all of the effort of finding real CDs and somehow, recording all of the best bits onto another blank disc.That was love.Now, were just all a bit lazy.5Learning Phone Numbers off by HeartIf we wanted to call our beloved out of the blue, we had to commit their digits to memory.The fact that we managed to memorize all of our essential numbers is an incredible feat and should be celebrated.6Ignoring Your Embarrassing QuestionsIf you wanted to find out more about a weird spot on your back, or look into a trashy celebritys early life, you normally just let it go._4.A_and unless you really wanted the truth, you normally forgot all about it.7Twiddling Your Fingers on the Toilet_5.D_With nothing to look at but white walls and the ground, most of us took up finger twiddling as a bathroom pastime.AFinding out information required a lot of effortBGetting Genuinely LostCAll of us had unpleasant experiences with smartphones.DA trip to the toilet used to be a blank spot in the day.EToilet was always a good place to make a serious thought about life.FIf we find ourselves without the device, we can feel more than a little lost.GBut now, seeing anything that isnt framed by a mini screen just feels wrong.文章大意：手机已经占领了我们的生活，手机控无处不在。文章帮我们回忆了手机发明前的生活状况。解析：1上文从正面介绍了人们对手机的依赖和痴迷程度：许多人甚至坚持不了10分钟，就一定要去看一下手机。所以此处应该是从反面阐述人们对手机的依赖。故F项“如果我们发现手机不在身边，就会有一种深深的失落感。”符合逻辑。2本段阐述的是在手机占领我们的生活前后视觉的变化。空前句子中的watched和G项中的seeing相呼应。3本段的关键词为getting lost，只有B项“真的会迷路”与之匹配。4本段的主题句为：无视你脑中的囧问题。这些“问题”就是空格前所说的问题，A项Finding out information required a lot of effort是对这些问题的进一步描述。故选A项。5本段的主题句Twiddling Your Fingers on the Toilet意为“在马桶上无聊地玩手指”。空后表达意思是：除了白色的墙壁和地板没有什么可看的，所以许多人就只好玩手指，当作如厕时间的消遣。这与D项“过去，上厕所的时间通常是一天中空白的时间。”一致。故选D项。.语法填空阅读下列短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。(2016江西师大附中、九江一中高三联考)Woman: Our design class is really
