答案解析
47.D 此處需要一個(gè)動(dòng)詞。本句敘述申請(qǐng)專利的程序:申請(qǐng)人申請(qǐng)專利時(shí)需要對(duì)發(fā)明進(jìn)行具體描述,然后將描述和樣品一同提交政府官員,故填submit一詞。
48.O 此處需要填入一個(gè)形容詞和beneficial并列作表語(yǔ)。此句介紹政府官員簽發(fā)專利的條件是原創(chuàng)性和有用性,故填original。
49.A 空格前為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞could,所以此處需要填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞原形。此處和or后面的use them themselves意義上是對(duì)應(yīng)的。根據(jù)常識(shí),申請(qǐng)人獲得專利后,專利當(dāng)然可以自己使用,也可以轉(zhuǎn)讓給其他人,故填license“許可,特許”。
50.K 此處需要填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞原形。政府為一項(xiàng)發(fā)明簽發(fā)專利后,當(dāng)然不能再為同樣的創(chuàng)意簽發(fā)專利,故填issue“簽發(fā),發(fā)行”。
51.C 空格前為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞could,所以此處需要填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞原形和后面的介詞of 搭配使用。句子用without 引導(dǎo)條件——如果沒(méi)有支付費(fèi)并獲準(zhǔn)使用就擅自使用該專利,因?yàn)閷@芊杀Wo(hù),發(fā)明人有權(quán)對(duì)其進(jìn)行起訴。accuse和charge都有“控告,控訴”的意思,但是用法不同,分別為accuse sb. of sth.和charge sb. with sth. ,故排除charge。 52.F 此處需要填入一個(gè)名詞作介詞for 的賓語(yǔ)。使用專利的人要向?qū)@l(fā)明人支付費(fèi)用, 獲得使用權(quán)后才能取得專利的使用權(quán)。故填permission“許可”。
53.I 此處需要一個(gè)名詞。對(duì)于專利,政府一方面實(shí)施保護(hù)政策,另一方面,為了讓大眾了解專利的相關(guān)知識(shí),政府會(huì)出版專利的詳細(xì)說(shuō)明,所以填specifications“說(shuō)明書”。
54.M 此處需要一個(gè)形容詞,修飾其后的名詞knowledge。政府出版專利詳細(xì)說(shuō)明的目的是讓大眾能夠了解發(fā)明,所以填available“可利用的” 。
55.H 上一段中提到美國(guó)政府在專利申訴的14年內(nèi)進(jìn)行保護(hù),在這14年申報(bào)人擁有專利的所有權(quán),超過(guò)14年,任何人都可以免費(fèi)使用該專利。此處考查固定短語(yǔ) for fre“免費(fèi)的”。
56.N 句子主謂結(jié)構(gòu)完整,空格處可以填入一個(gè)副詞。publicizing ideas和定語(yǔ)從句中的be kept as trade secrets 之間是對(duì)比關(guān)系,因此需要填入一個(gè)表示轉(zhuǎn)折意義的副詞 otherwise。otherwise 和 however 都可以表示引導(dǎo)意義的轉(zhuǎn)折,但however常用插入語(yǔ),其前后需要加逗號(hào),而otherwise 不需要。
