2012年text3第四段,第五段:
①Despite the appeal court's decision, big questions remain unanswered.② For example, it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it. ③The case may yet reach the Supreme Court.
④As the industry advances,however,other suits may have an even greater impact. ⑤Companies are unlikely to file many more patents for human DNA molecules-most are already patented or in the public domain.⑥Firms are now studying how genes interact,looking for correlations that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drug’s efficacy.⑦Companies are eager to win patents for ‘connecting the dots’, explains Hans Sauer,a lawyer for the BIO.

2. looking for correlations
3. (correlations)that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drug’s efficacy.
翻译解析:这些公司现在正研究基因之间的相互作用,以确定它们的关系,这些关系可以用来决定疾病的起因或预测药效(定语从句信息过多,这里采用了分开译)。
第七句:
1. Companies are eager to win patents for ‘connecting the dots’,
2. explains Hans Sauer,a lawyer for the BIO.
翻译解析:BIO的律师Hans Sauer解释道,(句末插入语前置)生物技术公司渴望获得专利来“研究基因之间的联系”。

violate:侵犯;违反;
advance:在真题中常被用来表示发展,进步;相当于develop;advanced courses高级课程;
be unlikely to :不可能做某事
file for :申请...(2010年Text1中也有考察到)
