河”,如译作“建筑运河”,就不顺了。原文后半句用it代替buildingcanals,译文重复“开凿运河”而不用代词,这样译是比较清楚的。第59题【单选题】ApretextwasthelastthingthatHastingswaslikelytowant.A、最后,哈丁斯好像需要一个借口。B、哈丁斯可能不需要任何借口。C、最后,哈丁斯可能想要的那个东西就是借口。D、借口好像是哈丁斯想要的最后的东西。【正确答案】B【答案解析】答案选B。thatHastingswaslikelytowant是一个that引导的定语从句,是对thelastthing的修饰。而且在本题中特别需要注意的是不能直接根据句子翻译为:最后需要的东西,句子表达的是一种否定的含义,最后才需要的也就是说他可能不需要任何借口。因此本题答案为B。第60题【单选题】SheusedtorelatehowshemetinItalyanelderlygentlemanwhowaslookingverysad.A、她经常提到她如何在意大利碰到一位老先生,他看来很悲伤。B、她常对人说,她在意大利碰到过一位愁容满面的老先生。C、她经常提到她如何在意大利碰到一位愁容满面的老先生。D、她常对人说,她在意大利碰到过一位上了年纪的绅士,他看起来很悲伤。【正确答案】B【答案解析】答案选B。“whowaslookingverysad”是定语,翻译成中文要注意语序。第61题【阅读理解】Overthepastdecade,thousandsofpatentshavebeengrantedforwhatarecalledbusinessmethods.Areceivedoneforits“one-click”onlinepaymentsystem.MerrillLynchgotlegalprotectionforanassetallocationstrategy.Oneinventorpatentedatechniqueforliftingabox.Nowthenation’stoppatentcourtappearscompletelyreadytoscalebackonbusiness-methodpatents,whichhavebeencontroversialeversincetheywerefirstauthorized10yearsago.Inamovethathasintellectual-propertylawyersabuzz,theU.S.courtofAppealsforthefederalcircuitsaiditwoulduseaparticularcasetoconductabroadreviewofbusiness-methodpatents.InreBilski,asthecaseisknown,is“averybigdeal”,saysDennisD.CrouchoftheUniversityofMissouriSchooloflaw.It“hasthepotentialtoeliminateanentireclassofpatents.”Curbsonbusiness-methodclaimswouldbeadramaticabout-face,becauseitwastheFederalCircuititselfthatintroducedsuchpatentswithis1998decisionintheso-calledStateStreetBankcase,approvingapatentonawayofpoolingmutual-fundassets.Thatrulingproducedanexplosioninbusiness-methodpatentfilings,initiallybyemerginginternetcompaniestryingtostakeoutexclusiverightstospecifictypesofonlinetransactions.Later,moveestablishedcompaniesracedtoaddsuchpatentstotheirfiles,ifonlyasadefensivemoveagainstrivalsthatmightbeatthemtothepunch.In2005,IBMnotedinacourtfilingthatithadbeenissuedmorethan300business-methodpatents,despitethefactthatitquestionedthelegalbasisforgrantingthem.Similarly,someWallStreetinvestmentfilmsarmedthemselveswithpatentsforfinancialproducts,evenastheytookpositionsincourtcasesopposingthepractice.TheBilskicaseinvolvesaclaimedpatentonamethodforhedgingriskintheenergymarket.TheFederalcircuitissuedanunusualorderstatingthatthecasewouldbeheardbyall12ofthecourt’sjudges,ratherthanatypicalpanelofthree,andthatoneissueitwantstoevaluateiswhetheritshould“reconsider”itsstatestreetBankruling.TheFederalCircuit’sactioncomesinthewakeofaseriesofrecentdecisionsbythesupremeCourtthathasnarrowedthescopeofprotectionsforpatentholders.LastApril,forexample,thejusticessignaledthattoomanypatentswerebeingupheldfor“inventions”thatareobvious.ThejudgesontheFederalCircuitare“reactingtotheanti-patenttrendattheSupremeCourt”,saysHaroldC.Wegner,apatentattorneyandprofessoratGeorgeWashingtonUniversityLawSchool.A、theirlimitedvaluetobusinessB、theirconnectionwithassetallocationC、thepossiblerestrictionontheirgrantingD、thecontroversyoverauthorization【正确答案】C【答案解析】同义替换。possible=potential,eliminate=restriction。A、Itsrulingcomplieswiththecourtdecisions.B、Itinvolvesaverybigbusinesstransaction.C、IthasbeendismissedbytheFederalCircuit.D、ItmaychangethelegalpracticesintheU.S.【正确答案】D【答案解析】potential=may,change对应着第一段和第二段之间的转折。从本段的review,eliminate
