“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。文都英语老师继续为大家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。
