Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.

It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.

We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered.Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviewers who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. "So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism," Newman wrote, "that I am tempted to define 'journalism' as a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are."

Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, a sty

正确答案:B

本题解析:

主旨题。本文开头即提到英国报纸的艺术评论的衰退趋势,第二、三段回顾20世纪初期至二战前夕艺术评论的盛况,第四、五段说盛况不在,且复兴前景渺茫。整篇文章都在传达一个信息:报刊艺术评论逐渐从公众视野中消失,因此B项为正确答案。B项用了比喻手法,the horizon指“公众视野中的报刊艺术评论”,lost指“衰落”,并涵盖了两大主题词“艺术评论”和“衰落”。A项中心词为“报纸”,C项中心词为“新闻业”,D项中心词为“评论家”,均不是对文章主题的正确概括。

正确答案:D

本题解析:

细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第三段。D项是对第三段末句“So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism…”的同义改写,not all相当于so few,are capable of相当于have brains enough or literary gift enough,故选D项。A项“认为作家都有责任从事新闻工作”属于过度推断,B项“作家们不屑去做新闻工作者”,与两位作家对新闻工作的积极态度相悖。C项“作家有可能被吸引从事新闻写作”无从推知。

正确答案:A

本题解析:

推断题。本题问的是二战前英国报纸评论的特点,根据题干关键词定位到第三段。首句有三个词值得注意:unfocused,dirt.cheap,ornament,就是说20世纪初至二战前,英国的报纸评论内容包罗万象(unfocused),新闻用纸便宜(dirt.cheap),并且艺术评论仅仅是报纸的装饰(ornament),由此可以推断出A项正确,即报纸评论内容繁杂、主题自由。B项“风格随意”,C项“布局精心”,D项“观点激进”,均是针对原文的“stylish”,“in detail and at length”等出的干扰项。

正确答案:B

本题解析:

推断题。本题可用排除法。A项“艺术评论已经从大城市的报纸上消失了”.第一段只是说“decline”,不等于“disappear”,故排除。B项“英文报纸过去常刊载更多的艺术评论”,根据第二段第二句话可知此项正确。C项“高品质的报纸留住了大批读者”,原文没有提到相关信息。D项“年轻读者怀疑评论文章是否适合刊登在日报上”,属于望文生义,原文提到年轻读者惊诧于艺术评论曾被大量刊登在面向普通读者发行的日报上这样一个事实,是为了说明现在艺术评论的衰落,而不是这些文章是否适合刊登。

Over the past decade, thousands of patents have been granted for what are called business methods. Amazon.com received one for its "one-click"online payment system. Merrill Lynch got legal protection for an asset allocation strategy. One inventor patented a technique for lifting a box.

Now the nation's top patent court appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents, which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago. In a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said it would use a particular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents. In re Bil-ski, as the case is known, is "a very big deal," says Dennis D.Crouch of the University of Mis-souri School of law. It "has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents."

Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 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 rights to specific types of online transactions. Later, more established companies raced to add such patents to their files, if only as a defensive move against rivals that might beat 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 practice.

正确答案:A

本题解析:

主旨题。本文第一段讲过去十年中无数的商业方法被授予专利。第二段指出现在最高专利法庭准备减少这类专利的授予。第三段回顾过去表明这是法庭态度的重大转变。第五段又回到现在点明法庭的反专利倾向.因此全文主题应是“法庭准备限制商业方法专利”。A项“商业方法专利的潜在威胁”正确。B项“对商业方法专利持有人的保护”与主题无关。C项“有关商业方法专利的一个法律案例”仅是文中举的一个例子,并不能概括主题。D项“反对商业方法专利的流行趋势”较有迷惑性,但是prevailing这个词使得此项不能选,因为商业方法专利仅仅是“受到威胁”,还没有变成“普遍的、盛行的”。

正确答案:C

本题解析:

词义题。根据题干定位到第三段。第一句提到:对商业方法专利权的限制(curbs on business-method claims)将会是一个a dramatic about-face,因为正是联邦巡回法院在1998年被称为“州街银行案”的决议中引入了这类专利,由此可见现在的做法与以前的做法是背道而驰的,即联邦巡回法院的态度发生了大的转变,因此选择C项。A项“良好愿望的消失”,B项“敌意的增加”,D项“尊严的提升”都与原文毫无关系。

正确答案:D

本题解析:

细节题。根据关键词Bilski case并结合出题顺序定位至第二段。第二段最后提到“It has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents”,D项是对此句的同义改写,may对应“has the potential”,change对应“eliminate”。因此,D项“它可能会改变美国已有的法律惯例”为正确答案。A项“对它的裁决符合法庭决议”.C项“它已经被联邦巡回法庭驳回”反向干扰,文中已暗示比尔斯基寨的判决可能成为商业方法专利案件的转折点,因此它不会被驳回,而且它的判决与以往案例不同。B项“它涉及一项非常大的商业交易”,第二段倒数第三句提到“Bilski case”是“a very big deal”,意思是“非常重要的事”,而非“大的交易”,因此B项错误。

正确答案:C

本题解析:

推断题。题干问为什么商业专利在近来引起了关注,根据出题顺序,本题的答题区间在前两段。第一段主要讲在过去十年间,成千上万的商业方法被授予了专利。第二段第一句指出国家最高专利法庭准备缩减商业专利(scale back on business.method patents)。由此可见,C项“它们的授予可能受到限制”是对原文的同义置换,故为正确答案,restriction on即相当于scale back on。A项“它们对企业的价值有限”,原文并未提到。B项“它们与资产配置相关”,利用第一段中出现的“asset allocation”形成干扰项,属于过度推断。D项“它们的获批引起争议”较有迷惑性,但原文说的是十年来一直争议不断,而题干问的是最近(recently),因此属于偷换概念。
