5, Statements presented as fact in a patent application are (i) ______ unless a good reason for doubt is found. The invention has only to be deemed “more likely than not” to work in order to receive initial approval. And, although thousands of patents are challenged in court for other reasons, no incentive exists for anyone to expend effort (ii) ______ the science of an erroneous patent. For this reason the endless stream of (iii) ______ devices will continue to yield occasional patents.
Blank(i) A, presumed verifiable 被假设为可被证实的
B, carefully scrutinized 被仔细审查的
C, considered capricious 被认为反复无常的
Blank(ii) D, corroborating 证实，支持
E, advancing 促进
F, debunking 揭穿
Blank(iii)G, novel 新的
H, bogus 伪造的
I, obsolete 废弃的，过时的
(i) 题型：反义重复
思路：1, Unless A, B 相当于 A= Not B
2, 因为 B= a good reason for doubt is found(可以被质疑), 所以空格(i)= 不可被质疑。
所以选项 A 为正确答案。
(ii) 题型：反义转折重复
思路：1，although A, B 相当于 A=Not B
2，A= patents are challenged, B= no incentive exists …to expend effort (ii) ______
3，空格(ii)=challenged,所以选项 F, debunking(揭穿)为正确答案
(iii) 题型：同义因果重复 思路：1, 因为 A, 所以 B 相当于 A=B
2, A=没有人有 incentive 去揭穿错误专利
3,选项 H, bogus(伪造的)最接近 A 能导致的结果，也就是“不断地会有伪造
的设备不断产生不必然的专利”
6, Ever a demanding reader of the fiction of others, the novelist Chase was likewise often the object of ______ analyses by his contemporaries.
A, exacting 苛求的
B, copious 丰富的
C, respectful 有礼貌的
D, acerbic 刻薄的
E, scathing 苛责的，痛斥的 F, meticulous 极其仔细的
题型：同义并列
思路：1, A, likewise B 相当于 A=B
2, A= Chase 是对其他小说苛求的读者, B=Chase 是被其他同期小说家所______分析的人
3, 空格= demanding，解题重点是 demanding 的含义，这里不是需求，而是高要求
也可理解为费力费神也就是 requiring much time, effort, or attention
4, A 和 F 为 demanding 的同义重复，所以是答案。而 D 和 E 虽为近义词，但感情色彩贬义，与 demanding 含义较远。
7, Her______ should not be confused with miserliness; as long as I have known her, she has always been willing to assist those who are in need.
A, stinginess 吝啬
B, diffidence 羞怯 C, frugality 节俭
D, illiberality 吝啬
E, intolerance 不宽容 F, thrift 节俭
题型：同义并列
思路：1, A;B 相当于 A=B
2, 空格填入的内容要表明”Her”所具备的属性，首先感情色彩与”willing to assist “ 取同，为正评价。
其次这个属性含义与”miserliness”易混淆但取反(因为之间有 not)。
3, 所以排除负评价词汇 ADE, 剩下 BCF, 其中 B 不符合含义。答案为 C 和 F。
8, A misconception frequently held by novice writers is that sentence structure mirrors thought： the more convoluted the structure, the more______ the ideas.
A, complicated 复杂
B, engaged 占用，卷入矛盾
C, essential 基本的，必要的 D, fanciful 幻想的
E, inconsequential 不重要的，不合逻辑的 F, involved 复杂的
题型：同义并列思路：1，冒号相当于等号，is 也相当于等号
2，A misconception=sentence structure mirrors thought= convoluted=空格
3，答案为 A 和 F
