问题     Individuals and businesses have legal protection for intellectual property they create and own. Intellectual property【C1】______ from creative thinking and may include products, services, processes, and ideas. Intellectual property is protected from misappropriation (盗用). Misappropriation is taking the intellectual property of others without【C2】______ compensation and using it for monetary gain.
    Legal protection is provided for the owners of intellectual property. The three common types of legal protection are patents, copyrights, and trademarks.
    Patents provide exclusive use of inventions. If the U.S. Patent Office【C3】______ a patent, it is confirming that the intellectual property is unique. The patent prevents others from making, using, or selling the invention without the owner’s【C4】______ for a period of 20 years.
    Copyrights are similar to patents except that they are applied to artistic works. A copyright protects the creator of an original artistic or intellectual work, such as a song or a novel. A copyright gives the owner exclusive rights to copy,【C5】______ display, or perform the work. The copyright prevents others from using and selling the work. The length of a copyright is【C6】______ the lifetime of the author plus an additional 70 years.
    Trademarks are words, names, or symbols that identify the manufacturer of a product and【C7】______ it from similar goods of others. A servicemark is similar to a trademark but is used to identify services. A trademark prevents others from using the【C8】______ or a similar word, name, or symbol to take advantage of the recognition and【C9】______ of the brand or to create confusion in the marketplace. Upon registration, a trademark is usually granted for a period of ten years. It can be【C10】______ for additional ten-year periods indefinitely as long as the mark’s use continues.

E) grants F) parallel G) popularity H) distinguish
I) retrieves J) renewed K) distribute L) results
M) random N) permission O) instantaneously [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 E
解析 此处需填入if条件句的谓语动词，因主语是Office，故该动词为第三人称单数。本句意为：如果美国专利局……专利权，就确认了该知识产权是唯一的。grants与a patent搭配，指“授予专利权”，符合语义逻辑。
