4, Richard M. Russell said 52 percent of the nation’s growth since the Second World War had (i) ______ invention. He said, (ii) ______ research, the government’s greatest role in assuring continuing innovation is promoting a strong, modern patent office. “Unless we can (iii) ______ original ideas, we will not have invention,” Mr.Russell said. Speculating on the state of innovation over the next century, several inventors agreed that the future lay in giving children the tools to think creatively and the motivation to invent.
Blank(i) A, been at the expense of 以…为代价
B, no bearing on 与…无关
C, come through 通过…而来
Blank(ii) D, in addition to restricting 除了限制之外
E, aside from supporting 除了支持之外
F, far from exaggerating 完全不夸大
Blank(iii)G, evaluate 评价
H, protect 保护
I, disseminate 散布
这道题通读之后，先选择关系最明确的空格(iii)来做
(iii) 题型：反义重复
思路：1, Unless A, B 相当于 A= Not B
2, 因为 B=not have invention, 所以空格(iii)*original ideas=have invention
3, 只有选 H,protect(保护)原创创意，我们才能有发明。
(i) 题型：同义并列重复
思路：1，因为末句表达的主旨是“创造和发明是好的”，也就是对保护发明进行了正评价。所以第一至第三句与末句呈同义并列重复关系。
2，空格(i)符合“创造和发明是好的”含义的选项只有 C。
(ii) 题型：同义并列重复 思路： 1, 空格(ii)也要表达“创造和发明是好的”的正评价态度，并且空格(ii)和“assuring
continuing innovation”的施动主语都是”the government”。
2, 所以空格(ii)和“assuring continuing innovation”为同义重复。所以只有 E 为正确答案。
