问题    The technology industry is at war over intellectual property. On May 7th the first【C1】______of a three-part fight between Oracle and Google over patent and copyright claims relating to the Java programming language ended in a decision that denied outright victory to either firm. Apple, Samsung and others are【C2】______over smartphone patents. Facebook and Yahoo! are at【C3】______over internet patents. Accusations abound【C4】______innovation is taking a【C5】______seat to lawsuits. Only the lawyers are smiling.
   All of【C6】______makes this a good time to【C7】______a new approach to trading intellectual property, says Gerard Pannekoek, the boss of IPXI, a new financial【C8】______that lets companies buy, sell and hold patent rights, just like any other【C9】______. The idea is to offer a patent or group of patents as "unit licence rights"(ULRs), which can be bought and sold like【C10】______. A ULR【C11】______a one-time right to use a particular technology in【C12】______product: a new type of airbag sensor in a car, 【C13】______. If a company wants to use the technology in 100, 000 cars, it buys 100, 000 ULRs at the market price. ULRs are also expected to be traded on secondary markets.
   This is simpler, faster and cheaper than the lawyer-intensive process of negotiating bilateral licences for intellectual property, the high cost of which discriminates【C14】______small companies, leaves patents unused on the shelf and【C15】______innovation. IPXI’s approach does not【C16】______for all types of intellectual property—it does not【C17】______exclusive licensing, for example—but should make it【C18】______for companies to make money from their inventions. "It’s a good form of funding for start-ups, " suggests Mr. Pannekoek.
   The exchange has【C19】____ 30 members including Philips, an electronics giant, and several universities and research laboratories. On May 4th IPXI published the rulebook that【C20】______how the exchange will work, and it expects to open for business later this year. Its novel approach is ideal for the open, non-exclusive licensing of smartphone-related patents, says Ruud Peters, chief intellectual-property officer at Philips.
【C5】
选项 A、back
B、front
C、fore
D、forward
答案A
解析 本题考查形容词辨析。本段第一句为总述，接下来都是举例对此进行说明，可见此段是围绕知识产权纷争展开的。结合最后一句Only the lawyers are smiling(唯独律师喜笑颜开)，可以判定是产权问题引起了很多官司，也就是“面对诉讼，创新退居次要地位”，take a back seat to意为“位于……之后，处于次要地位”，因此A．back为正确答案。
