无中生有。

[B] It involves a very big business transaction

[C] It has been dismissed by the Federal Circuit

[D] It may change the legal practices in the .

选

[D] potential= may ,change

对应着第一段和第二段之间的转折。从本段的

review

，

eliminate

也可

以看出这是一种转折。全文一直没有讲

Bilski case

的判决的结果，而

[A] [C]

< br>都是在讲其判决结果，所

以与原文相反。

[B]

是从原文“ a “very big deal””字面意识出发设置的干扰选项。

a big deal

tra nsaction

）”本题

[D]

还有

may ,

正确答案往往语气委

婉，所 以更加确定选这个选项。

Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about- face, because it was the federal

circuit itself that introduced such patents with is 1998 decision in the so-called state

Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets. That ruling

produced an explosion in business-method patent filings, initially by emerging internet

companies trying to stake out exclusive pinhts to specific types of online transactions.

Later, move established companies raced to add such patents to their files, if only as a

defensive move against rivals that might bent them to the punch. In 2005, IBM noted in a

court filing that it had been issued more than 300 business-method patents despite the fact

that it questioned the legal basis for granting them. Similarly, some Wall Street investment

films armed themselves with patents for financial products, even as they took positions in

court cases opposing the . The word “about

-

face” (Line 1,Para 3) most probably means

[A] loss of good will

[B] increase of hostility

[C] change of attitude

[D] enhancement of disnity

< /p>

本题是词汇题，一定要返回原文通过上下文解题。

之前是说对

business-method

的约束

（

,

而

because

之后说的是“正是联邦审判引入了

business-

是“态度的转变”。所以选

[ C]

The Bilski case involves a claimed patent on a method for hedging risk in the energy market.

The Federal circuit issued an unusual order stating that the case would be heard by all 12

of the court’s judges, rather than a typical panel of three and that one issue it wants to

evaluate is weather it should “reconsider” its state street Bank ruling.

本段第一句话没有看懂，直接跳过 。第二句讲“联邦审判要求这个案子要

12

个法官审，而不是普 通的

3

人小组，并且要求判断是否要重新考虑之前的

29 [A]

The Federal Circuit’s action comes in the wake of a series of recent decisions by the

supreme Count that has narrowed the scope of protections for patent holders. Last April, for

examp

le the justices signaled that too many patents were being upheld for “inventions”

that are obvious. The judges on the Federal circuit are “reacting to the anti_patent trend

at the supreme court”, says Harole , a partend attorney and professor at aeorge Was

hington

University Law the wake of= after .

(protection)

。而

29[C] < /p>

减少了对专利持有者的尊重

（

estee m

）

.

其中

e steem

是对

protection

的偷梁换柱。第二句：举例子。法官发出信号：

too many

< br>（过多的专利被授予了），表明法院认为很多

business-method

不应该被授予，所以选

[B] too many

=often unnecessarily. [D]

无中生有。

29. We learn from the last two paragraphs that business- method patents

[A] are immune to legal challenges

[B] are often unnecessarily issued

[C] lower the esteem for patent holders

[D] increase the incidence of risks

见上文的解析。本题

[A] [B]
