【C1】
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】解析:动词词组辨析题。第一句的intellectual property they create提示了知识产权是通过创造(create)而来的,由此推测空格后的creative thinking是Intellectual property“知识产权”产生的源头,故选C项result from“源于,由……产生”,表示“知识产权来源于创造性思维”。
【答案解析】解析:上下文语义题。文章首句就点明:个人与企业在他们创造和拥有的知识产权上受到法律保护,句中的legal protection for intellectual property they create and own提示了保护的对象应该是创造并拥有该知识产权的人或集体,故B项owners“所有者”符合文意。其实,此空所在句是文章首句的同义表述,不难选出答案。

【答案解析】解析:动词辨析题。此空所在句的大意是:如果美国专利局______一项专利,它就确认了该知识产权……。grants a patent指“授予专利权”,符合文意。若不确定,也可由最后一段倒数第二句再次出现的granted一词确定答案。
【答案解析】解析:名词辨析及上下文语义逻辑题。根据第三段首句“专利权为发明创造提供专用权利”可知,只有专利权所有者才有权处置其发明创造,换言之,别人要处置他的发明创造,必先经过他授权或许可。因此推断此空应填“允许,同意”这类表示意愿的词。B项permission“许可”与without the owner’s搭配,指“未经专利持有者许可”,符合上下文语义。
【答案解析】解析:动词辨析题。空格位于that引导的定语从句中,与identify“识别”并列,充当谓语,该谓语动词必须能和from连用。根据“注册商标是识别(identify)某项产品的生产商”可推知,注册商标应该也是用来区分类似的商品(similar goods of others),C项distinguish与from搭配,意为“有别于,区别于”,符合上述推断。
【答案解析】解析:语义逻辑题,兼考固定搭配。空格处连接两个独立的分句,前一分句讲“可以延长期限,再得到10年的续期”,后一分句讲“该商标还在继续使用”,从逻辑上看,商标的持续使用应该是商标得以重新注册并续期的前提条件,A项as long as“只要”为条件状语从句的引导词,符合这种语义逻辑,为本题答案。
