ase 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.”现在,该国最高专利法院似乎完全准备好要缩减商业方法专利,因为商业方法专利自从十年前第一次批准授予以来一直有争议。

在一项使得知识产权律师们议论纷纷的提议中,美国联邦巡回上诉法院声称它将利用某个具体案件来对商业方法专利进行广泛的复审。

密苏里大学法学院Dennis D. Crouch说,“正如人们所知道的那样,Bilski案例是一件非常大的事情”它可能将消除整个专利类别”。

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 firms armed themselves with patents for financial products, even as they took positions in court cases opposing the practice.对于商业方法诉求的限制是个戏剧性的彻底变化,因为正是联邦巡回法院自己引进了这种专利。

2014年考研英语阅读真题Text 1In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency,” George Osbome,Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the “upfront work search” scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the job centre with a register for online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit-and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable?为了“让生活变得更美好”以及减少“依赖”,英国财政大臣乔治•奥斯本引入了“求职预付金”计划。

只有当失业者带着简历到就业中心,注册在线求职并开始找工作,才有资格获得补助金——然后他们应该每周而非每两周报告一次。

有什么比这更合理呢?More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance. “Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.” he claimed. “We’re doing these things because we k now they help people say off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster” Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsides laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for “fundamental fairness”-protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.更加明显的合理性如下。

2021考研英语(一)阅读翻译及解析

2021考研英语(一)阅读翻译及解析2021Text 1Come on –Everybody’s doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good-drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.得了吧, 每个人都这样啊. 这种说法一半是邀请,一半是强制。

当我们听到“同辈(趋同)压力”这个词组的时候我们想到的就是这种说法。

这种信息一般让人想到不好的事情,比如喝酒,吸毒,一夜情。

但是,在她的新书《参加这个俱乐部》, Tina Rosenberg认为,纯粹压力也是一种积极的力量,通过她所说的社会治疗,公司和官方人员可以使用群体力量去帮助个人提高他们的生活,而且也有可能提高整个人类世界的生活。

Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of example of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, anHIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.Rosenberg是普利策奖获得者,他提供了许多社会治疗的例子:在南卡罗莱纳州,一个州资助的反对抽烟的项目叫做“向烟雾宣战”就旨在控制好烟草销售。

For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic。

2009年纽约交响乐团突然宣布聘用艾伦·吉尔伯特为下一位乐曲指挥,从那时起一直到现在,这次任命都成为古典音乐界的话题。

退一步说,从总体上看,反应还是不错的。

如冷静的古典音乐评论家安东尼·托姆西尼就这样写:从长时间来看,这次委命是英明的。

One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him。

Text 1①Of 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.①It 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. ②Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. ③To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.① 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 2,at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. ②In 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. ③Theirs was a serious business. and even those reviews who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. ④These men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. ⑤So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in ournalism,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".①Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. ②Neville 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. ③During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. ④He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored.⑤Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.①Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival? ②The prospect seems remote.③Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly uphostered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. ④Moreover,the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.全文翻译:在过去的25 年英语报纸所发生的变化中,影响最深远的可能就是它们对艺术方面的报道在范围上毫无疑问的缩小了,而且这些报道的严肃程度也绝对降低了。

(10 points)Since the days of Aristotle, a search for universal principles has characterized the scientific enterprise. In some ways, this quest f or commonalities defines science. Newton’s laws of motion and Darwinian evolution each bind a host of different phenomena into a single explicatory frame work.(46)In physics, one approach takes this impulse for unification to its extreme, and seeks a theory of everything—a single generative equation for all we see.It is becoming less clear, however, that such a theory would be a simplification, given the dimensions and universes that it might entail, nonetheless, unification of sorts remains a major goal.This tendency in the natural sciences has long been evident in the social sciences too. (47)Here, Darwinism seems to offer justification for it all humans share common origins it seems reasonable to suppose that cultural diversity could also be traced to more constrained beginnings. Just as the bewildering variety of human courtship rituals might all be considered forms of sexual selection, perhaps the world’s languages, music, social and religious customs and even history are governed by universalfeatures. (48)T o filter out what is unique from what is shared might enable us to understand how complex cultural behavior arose and what guides it in evolutionary or cognitive terms.That, at least, is the hope. But a comparative study of linguistic traits published online today supplies a reality check. Russell Gray at the University of Auckland and his colleagues consider the evolution of grammars in the light of two previous attempts to find universality in language.The most famous of these efforts was initiated by Noam Chomsky, who suggested that humans are born with an innate language—acquisition capacity that dictates a universal grammar.A few generative rules are then sufficient to unfold the entire fundamental structure of a language, which is why children can learn it so quickly.(49)The second, by Joshua Greenberg, takes a more empirical approach to universality identifying traits (particularly in word order) shared by many language which are considered to represent biases that result from cognitive constraints Gray and his colleagues have put them to the test by examining four family trees that between them represent more than 2,000 languages.(50)Chomsky’s grammar should show patterns of language change that are independent of the family tree or the pathway tracked through it. Whereas Greenbergian universality predicts strong co-dependencies between particular types of word-order relations. Neither of these patterns is borne out by the analysis, suggesting that the structures of the languages are lire age-specific and not governed by universals 第二篇:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should bewritten carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)One basic weakness in a conservation system based wholly on economic motives is that most members of the land community have no economic value. Yet these creatures are members of the biotic community and, if its stability depends on its integrity, they are entitled to continuance.When one of these noneconomic categories is threatened and, if we happen to love it .We invert excuses to give it economic importance. At the beginning of century songbirds were supposed to be disappearing. (46) Scientists jumped to the rescue with some distinctly shaky evidence to the effect that insects would eat us up if birds failed to control them. the evidence had to be economic in order to be valid.It is painful to read these round about accounts today. We have no land ethic yet, (47) but we have at least drawn near the point of admitting that birds should continue as a matter of intrinsic right, regardless of the presence or absence of economic advantage to us.A parallel situation exists in respect of predatory mammals and fish-eating birds. (48) Time was when biologists somewhat over worded the evidence that these creatures preserve the health of game by killing the physically weak, or that they prey only on "worthless" species.Some species of tree have been read out of the party by economics-minded foresters because they grow too slowly, or have too low a sale vale to pay as timber crops. (49) In Europe, where forestry is ecologically more advanced, the non-commercial tree species are recognized as members of native forest community, to be preserved as such, within reason.To sum up: a system of conservation based solely oneconomic self-interest is hopelessly lopsided. (50) It tends to ignore, and thus eventually to eliminate, many elements in the land community that lack commercial value, but that are essential to its healthy functioning. It assumes, falsely, I think, that the economic parts of the biotic clock will function without the uneconomic parts.>>>>>>答案解析<<<<<<第一篇:46. 物理学中的一个理论把这种归一的冲动发挥到了极致,它探寻一种万有理论——一个关于我们能看到的一切的生成方程式。

原文:
It is an important time for people to have a sense of belonging, which can be fostered by the “tribe” they identify with. The more a person identifies with a group, the more likely they are to develop a sense of belonging. However, people can also have a sense of belonging without belonging to any group. This is because human beings are social creatures who need to connect with others. They need to feel like they belong somewhere, and this need for connection is often fulfilled through groups.

Passage 1While researchers have studied farmers' markets for the past 20 years, studying not-for-profit food hubs is fairly new. For 15 years, the Food Hub Management Program at Michigan State University has helped organizations start and operate food hubs. Dr. Rich Pirog, who directs the program, has just edited a book on food hubs."The interest in local food systems is driving the increased attention to food hubs," says Pirog, who began studying farmers markets in the late 1990s. "Food hubs are about bringing agriculture back to cities and more populated areas."Pirog points to the huge amount of economic power of food sales in this country - $650 billion a year - and says, "A little bit of that localizes food to smaller areas. Ten percent is $65 billion. How do we get there?"To answer this question, he has begun a three-year project funded by the US Department of Agriculture, looking at the impact of food hubs, compared to farmers markets and conventional intermediaries, on the local economy.Food hubs are a fairly new concept. Some are for-profit, like Bon Appetit Management Company, which brings local food to collegecampuses like MSU. Some are not-for-profit, like Twin Cities-based The Good Acre, which focuses on serving low-income people who can't get to farmers markets.Food hubs can be both physical and virtual. They can be big, like the Chicago South Water Market, which has hundreds of farmers, sells $2 billion a year and has a physical connection to residential, retail and restaurant sectors. Or they can be small physical spaces like the MSU Student Organic Farm, which only sells a portion of its food.Pirog has ended the first phase of the project, which focused on synthesizing research on local food. Michigan State University researchers found that food hubs can create jobs and impact regional economies. They also found that they carry food that meets consumer demand and improves access to healthy food.Pirog and his team spent the past year reaching out to food hubs around the country to collect sales, employment and other data. They're studying 50 food hubs, in total. This summer, the team is entering the second phase of the project, looking at consumer behavior and attitudes about local food and food systems.译文如下:第一篇虽然研究人员在过去20年里一直在研究农民市场,但对于非营利性食品中心的研究还是相对较新的。

世界各地,律师比其他职业的人得到更多的不友好的眼光——记者除外。

但是,世界上很少有国家像美国那样委托人有会如此多的抱怨。

在经济危机前的两年里,法律服务的花费的增长速度是通货膨胀速度的两倍。

最好的律师赚了能填满摩天大楼的钱,吸引更多的学生扎堆进入法律学校。

但是大多数的法律毕业生从没得到大公司的工作。

他们中的很多成为一种让人讨厌的诉讼文员,使侵权系统变为花费昂贵的恶梦。

对此是有很多原因的。

其中一个是法律教育的过高的成本。

在美国大多数州的律师来说只有一条路可以选择:一个四年的与法律无关的本科学历,然后是在200个法律学校中的一个得到三年的法律证书,这些学校是被美国法律协会授权的,并且在进入之前还要通过一个昂贵的预备考试。

这为当今的法律学校的每个学生带来一个平均为10万美元的债务,这是所有专业大学生中最高的债务。

法律学校的债务意味着其许多的学生不能进入政府和非营利性性组织工作,因此他们不得不极度努力地工作。

改革这个体系将会对律师及其委托人都有好处。

明智的想法已经存在一段时间了,但是在国家层面上会体现出,控制这个专业太过守旧,以至于无法实行。

一个观
点是允许大学生学习法律作为本科文凭。

还有一个是在法律学校学习两年后就允许其参加法庭。

如果这法律考试对于那些准律师来说是足够严厉的话,那些可以提前参加考试的人就该被允许那样做。

那些不需要额外训练的学生就可以减少其三分之一的债务。

花费如此高的另一个原因就是商业的限制性的所有制结构。

除了哥伦比亚区,非律师可能不被允许持有法律公司的股份。

这使得佣金居高不下,而且革新非常缓慢。

在业内进行改革是有压力的,但是监管者中的改革反对者坚持认为禁止外部人员进入法律公司将律师从赚钱的压力中隔离出来,并且能在道德上为顾客服务。

实际上,允许非律师持有法律公司的股份能够减少成本并提升对客户的服务,具体可以通过鼓励法律公司运用科技,雇佣职业管理者重点提升公司的效率。

毕竟,澳大利亚和英国等国已经自由化了它们的法律行业。

美国也应紧随其后。

美国的这个300万的基础物理学奖确实是一个有趣的实验,当Alexander Polyakov在今年领奖的时候如此说道。

而这样奖项不仅仅只有一种。

科学杂志的一篇新闻特辑这样评论,近些年来,颁发给研究者的一系列的合算的奖项加入了诺贝尔奖的阵营,诺贝尔奖不再孤独。

许多像基础物理学奖这样的奖项是有网络巨头建立的,他们庞大的银行账户就是这些奖项的保证。

科学杂志说,这些捐助者在他们自己的领域里取得了成功,他们想用自己的财富吸引公众对那些在科学领域有成就的人的注意力。

这有什么是让人不喜欢的呢?根据新闻特辑里引证的少数科学家来看,确实有许多让人不能欣赏的地方。

就像谚语所说的:等级是买不到的,那些有钱的企业家给他们的奖项买不到诺贝尔奖的威望。

科学家们说,些新的奖项是它们背后创办者实施的一种自我推销。

The wards are an exercise in self-promote for those behind them. 对自我推销的一种实施——实施的一种自我推销,them指wards,self-promote 自我推销,不是自我提升/激励。

这些奖项可能会扭曲以成就为基础的同业审查指引研究工作系统。

这巩固了同业审查研究的现状。

他们并没有资助同业审查研究。

他们使孤独天才的神话长存。

这些奖项的发放者的目标像对他们的评论一样分散。

有的是想引起震惊,有的是想将人们的注意力引导科学上,或者是想要更好地奖励那些投入考研事业的人。

就像科学杂志之前指出的,应该对新旧奖项如何发放有的合理关注。

近年来为生命科学方面设立的突破奖,对生命科学包括什么持有的观点是不具代表性的。

而对于诺贝尔奖,他们的基金设立的每个奖项最多三个获奖者的限制——获奖者必须还活着——已经无法容纳因研究的合作性质导致的增长的人数,有这样一个事例可以说明问题:在确定希格斯玻色子的发现的贡献时,要忽略谁——这是一个无法避免的争论。

当然像诺贝尔一类的奖是由富有的个人建立的,他们自己决定如何使用自己钱。

是时间而不是建立者的意愿让这些奖项合理。

随着越来越多的科学家对新的奖项有说辞,有两件事变得清晰。

第一,大多数研究者在被授予这样一个奖项时,他们是愿意接受的。

第二,资金和注意力流向科学而不是其他地方确实是一件好事。

批评和质疑这些机制并没有什么不对——毕竟这是研究领域的一种习俗——但是要知道这是奖项设立者自己出钱的,而且他们是乐意这样做的。

聪明的做法就是以感激之心和荣誉之情接受这样的奖项。

美国艺术与科学研究院(AAAS)最近发布的报告“问题之核心”肯定了人文学科和社会科学对于美国自由民主政治繁荣和安全的重要性,值得被表扬。

但是遗憾的
是,这篇报告并没有指出普通教育所面临危机的真正性质,这导致的危害会大于其带来的益处。

在2010年,领导的国会民主党和共和党寄给AAAS一封信,询问那些确定可以由“联邦,州和地区政府,大学,基金,教育者,个人捐献者和其他人”承担的,“保持国家在人文科学,社会科学的学问和教育方面的优秀特质”的行动。

作为回应,美国研究院建立了一个关于人文和社会科学的委员会。

委员会的这51个成员中有一流大学的校长,学者,律师,法官以及商业经理人,同时还有外交界的主要人物,电影制片人,音乐家和记者。

这份报告所确立的目标是值得称赞的。

因为代议政府以市民的消息灵通为前提,报告支持完全地读写能力;强调对历史和政体的学习,尤其是美国历史和美国政体;而且鼓励对新的数字技术的应用。

为了鼓励创新和提升竞争,这份报告提倡增加对研究的投资,要求清晰的能提升学生在21世纪的问题解决能力和沟通效率这些技能的课程,号召提高对教师的经费支持并鼓励学者们将他们的研究瞄准当今世界上的重要挑战。

这个报告还提倡加强对外语,外国事务的学习,同时扩张对外国项目的学习。

不幸的是,尽管已经实施了两年半,而“问题之核心”从来没抓住问题的核心:我们主要的大学的通识教育是狭隘的本性。

委员会忽略了事实的,在过去的几十年里,美国的学院和大学并没有真正教给学生通识教育的内容和特性,所以他们也无法从中得到好处。

可悲的是,探寻的精神已经清楚的知道,校园已经被人文科学和社会科学的实用所代替,成为了发表“进步”的机器,或者是左翼的宣传基地。

当今,教授还是那老一套,将先进的历史解释和公众政治视为研究的主要科目,而将保守的,经典的通识教育知识——比如,自由市场,自立精神——排除在他们的日常工作中,甚至有的是不在法律要求之中,不在知识调查研究之中。

AAAS对通识教育表现出极高的热情。

然而这篇报道可能会推迟这项改革,国会要求他们表明的挑战的深度和广度被遮蔽了。
