考研

　　“吾尝终日而思矣，不如须臾之所学也;吾尝跂而望矣，不如登高之博见也。”与其盲目憧憬未来，不如赶紧行动起来。文都考研英语老师继续为2018考研同学们梳理历年考研英语真题阅读文章中涉及的要点，包括词汇、短语、长难句以及简单的阅读方法。接下来看一下2010年考研英语真题阅读Text 2，这篇文章主要探讨了许多已经授予的专利面临取消的可能。

　　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.

　　over the past decade“在过去十年”;patent“专利权”，也可以充当动词，表示“授予专利，取得...的专利权”;grant“授予”，其实就是give的高级替换;business method“商业方法”;one指代是patent;online payment system“在线支付系统”;legal protection“法律保护”;asset allocation strategy“资产配置策略”。段首句为总述，接下来举例说明。举例的目的是为观点服务，观点和例子看懂其一即可。首段交代了背景。

　　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 Bilski, as the case is known , is “a very big deal”, says Dennis D. Crouch of the University of Missouri School of law. It “has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents.”

　　Now说明接下来讲的是现在的情况。patent court“专利法庭”;scale back on“缩减”;which指代business-method patents;controversial“有争议的”;authorize“授予，批准”;move“举措”;intellectual-property lawyer“知识产权律师”;abuzz“议论纷纷的”;Court of Appeals“上诉法庭”;particular“特别的”;case“案例”;conduct a broad review of“对...进行广泛的复审”;In re Bilski为案件的名称，即a particular case;as引导非限定性定语从句，这样的结构往往用于写作的开头部分;school of law“法学院”;potential“可能性”;eliminate“清除，淘汰”;an entire class of“一整类”。

　　以上就是文都考研英语老师为大家梳理的2010年考研英语真题阅读Text 2前两段的要点。能力的提升不可能一蹴而就。“操千曲而后晓声，观千剑而后识器。”各位同学，平时一定注重积累，循序渐进，在量变的基础上实现质变。结果固然重要，但是过程同样重要。从某种程度上来说，什么样的过程带来什么样的结果。
