例 1.(OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q4, Medium)Richard M. Russell said 52 percent of the nations growth since the Second World War had (i) _ invention. He said, (ii) _ research, the governments greatest role in assuring continuing innovation is promoting a strong, modern patent office. “Unless we can (iii) _ original ideas, we will not have invention.” Mr. Russell said. Speculating on the state of innovation over the next century, several inventors agreed that the future lay in giving children the tools to think creatively and the motivation to invent.BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)(A) been at the expense of (D) in addition to restricting(G) evaluate(B) no bearing on (E) aside from supporting (H) protect(C) come through (F) far from exaggerating (I) disseminateKEY: CEH(一)节选出第二、三空格部分He said, (ii) _ research, the governments greatest role in assuring continuing innovation is promoting a strong, modern patent office. “Unless we can (iii) _ original ideas, we will not have invention.”1.去除 blank2所在的部分，“He said the governments greatest role in assuring continuing innovation is promoting a strong, modern patent office.”这句话表明 R先生的态度是支持科技创新。2.后文中 Unless we can (iii) _ original ideas, we will not have invention.是对于上文的重述，R 先生支持创新，因而需要 至少不破坏 原创性思想。而上文中说要 assuring continuing innovation，innovation 与original ideas构成逻辑相关词关系，因而对其两者所做的动作等价，即assure，在 blank3中选出 protect。3.为了确保有足够的创新，因而 R先生对于科技创新的基础研究的态度与其对于科学研究的态度相同，因此在这里，对于 continuing创新的要求导致了对于 research的态度支持。4.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空1.in addition to restricting：除了限制之外（相反）2.aside from supporting：除了支持之外（正确）3.far from exaggerating：除了夸大之外（无关）4.evaluate：（评估）to determine the significance, worth, or condition of usually by careful appraisal and study（无关）5.protect：（保护）（正确）6.disseminate：（传播）to disperse throughout（无关）(二)最终完成填空Richard M. Russell said 52 percent of the nations growth since the Second World War had (i) _ invention.1.R先生对于科技与国家发展持有一个正态度，因而也反映在其对于国家发展对于科技进步的依赖上面，其应该认为国家发展是依靠科技进步来实现的，因而在 blank1中填入一个正态度。2.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：1.been at the expense of ：以为代价（相反）2.no bearing on：对没有影响（相反）3.come through：来自于（正确）(三)理解句意，看是否逻辑与语义契合：Richard M. Russell说，二战以来世界各国的发展有 52%可以归结于发明创造。他说，除了支持科学研究以外，政府对于确保一国能有持续稳定的发明创造的最重要的任务就是推广一个强有力的现代专利局。R 先生还说：“除非我们能够保护原创性观点，否则我们就不会有发明创造”。展望下个世纪发明创造的前景之后，许多发明家在同这样一个观点，就是未来在于给予我们的孩子们创造性思维的工具，同时给予他们足够的刺激去发明创造新生事物。例 2. (OG Verbal Practice Set 3 Q5, Medium)Statements presented as fact in a patent application are (i) _ unless a good reason for doubt is found. The invention has only to be deemed “more likely than not” to work in order to receive initial approval. And, although thousands of patents are challenged in court for other reasons, no incentive exists for anyone to expend effort (ii) _ the science of an erroneous patent. For this reason the endless stream of (iii) _ devices will continue to yield occasional patent.BLANK (i) BLANK (ii) BLANK (iii)(A) presumed verifiable (D) corroborating (G) novel(B) carefully scrutinized (E) advancing (H) bogus(C) considered capricious (F) debunking (I) obsoleteKEY: AFH(一)节选出第一空所在部分Statements presented as fact in a patent application are (i) _ unless a good reason for doubt is found.1.Blank1中应该填入一个形容词，描述 statement被视为何物的状态，而前后两个半句间通过 unless连接，表示相关句子间是反义关系。2.后半句说可以找到一个值得怀疑的理由，则前半句说明没有怀疑的理由，则根据“无罪推定”的背景知识，认为没有怀疑的必要，被认为是真实的。选取fact的同义词。3.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：1.presumed verifiable：被推定为可信的、真实的2.carefully scrutinized：仔细调查3.considered capricious：被认为是变化无常的(二)And, although thousands of patents are challenged in court for other reasons, no incentive exists for anyone to expend effort (ii) _ the science of an erroneous patent.1.And引导的表示继续承接上文，“无罪推定”依旧适用。2.Although表示两个分句之间的是反义关系，前半句说 patents are challenged，则后半句应该是不被 challenge。3.Blank2中应该填入一个动名词，构成 expend effort doing sth结构，表示“费力去做”，动作发出者是 anyone，接受者是 the science of an erroneous patent。4.后半句话应该是不被 challenge的意思，由于 no incentive exists表示否定，则应该选取 challenge的同义词。5.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：1.corroborating：（证实）to support with evidence or authority : make more certain2.advancing：（推进）to accelerate the growth or progress of3.debunking：（揭穿）to expose the sham or falseness of(三) And, although thousands of patents are challenged in court for other reasons, no incentive exists for anyone to expend effort (ii) _ the science of an erroneous patent. For this reason, the endless stream of (iii) _ devices will continue to yield occasional patent.1.For this reason表示对上文的继续，即对于专利申请来说，有时不仅仅是没有人有足够的理由去反驳的以外，还有的是因为没有足够的动力去反驳它们，因而在现实中，对于有问题的专利的调查是不够的。2.由于专利本身就有问题，因而其最终的结果产品，也是有问题的，应该填入一个负评价。3.选择与自主判读已知的词汇填空：1.novel：（新鲜事物）new and not resembling something formerly known or used2.bogus：（假冒产品）not genuine : COUNTERFEIT, SHAM3.obsolete：（过时货）a : no longer in use or no longer useful；b : of a kind or style no longer current : OLD-FASHIONED(四)理解句意，看是否逻辑与语义契合：在专利申请中被当作事实依据而提出的陈述在没有足够理由去怀疑它们的时候往往被推定为是真实可信的。而此时这项发明实际上被认为是“聊胜于无”而去申请最初的专利许可而用的。同时，即便是成千上万的专利因为其他原因而被告上法庭的情况下，没有其他特别的刺激或激励是任何人有意愿去证实一个存在错误的专利背后的科学依据是错误的。正因为如此
