參考答案【正確答案：A】
細節(jié)題。根據(jù)關鍵詞buy a house定位第三段最后兩句。該部分說:You can get a house for aknockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home(你可以以低廉的價格買到一所房子, 但結果它可能是一個破碎的家園）。故購房者“應該意識到這種潛在的危險”，A選項正確。

- 如果能有效地利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、能快速方便地查詢世界各地的信息，對科學研究、商業(yè)往來乃至尋醫(yī)求藥都帶來很大的好處。然而，如果上網(wǎng)成癮，也有許多弊端，還可能帶來嚴重的危害。尤其是青少年，上網(wǎng)成癮可能荒廢學業(yè)、影響工作，為了解決這一問題，某個網(wǎng)點上登載了“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)癮”自我測試辦法。 以下各項提問，除了哪項，都與“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)癮”的表現(xiàn)形式有關（）。
- 張教授：在我國，因偷盜、搶劫或流氓罪入獄的刑滿釋放人員的重新犯罪率，要遠高于因索賄受賄等職務犯罪入獄的刑滿釋放人員。這說明，在獄中對上述前一類罪犯教育改造的效果，遠不如對后一類罪犯。李研究員：你的論證忽視了這樣一個事實：流氓犯罪等除了犯罪的直接主客體之外，幾乎不需要什么外部條件；而職務犯罪是以犯罪嫌疑人取得某種官職為條件的。事實上刑滿釋放人員很難再得到官職，因此，因職務犯罪入獄的刑滿釋放人員不具備重新犯罪的條件。 以下哪項最可能是李研究員的反駁所假設的（）。
