參考答案【正確答案:B】
推理題。第三段主要介紹觀光者和看戲的人在鎮(zhèn)上的活動。第三段指出,乘巴士前來的觀 光客天黑之前就看完走人了, 他們通常不會去看戲。那些看戲的人卻會在賞戲之余安排-些觀光活動,他們通常會在鎮(zhèn)上過夜。因此RSC認為那些看戲的人給小鎮(zhèn)帶來大部分收入。 由此可以推出,看戲的人比觀光者花錢多,因為他們不僅要買票看戲,還要觀光和住宿。因 此B選項正確。

- Parents take a great interest in the()questions raised by their children.
- 某計算機公司正在研制可揣摩用戶情緒的計算機。這種被稱為“智能個人助理”的新裝置主要通過分析用戶敲擊鍵盤的模式,來判斷其心情是好是壞,還可通過不斷監(jiān)測用戶的活動,逐漸琢磨出其好惡,能在使用者緊張或煩躁時自動減少其所瀏覽的電子郵件或網(wǎng)站的數(shù)量。 以下哪項最不可能是這種計算機提供的功能()。
- 分析下述論證中存在的缺陷和漏洞,選擇若干要點,寫一篇600字左右的文章,對該論證的有效性進行分析和評論。(論證有效性分析的一般要點是:概念特別是核心概念的界定和使用是否準確并前后一致,有無各種明顯的邏輯錯誤,論證的論據(jù)是否成立并支持結論,結論成立的條件是否充分等等。) 日前,多地密集出臺高考改革方案,有不少省市拿英語開刀。但一個數(shù)萬人的在線調(diào)查顯示,竟然有七成網(wǎng)友支持“數(shù)學滾出高考”,看來許多人厭惡數(shù)學甚于英語。 為什么數(shù)學應該滾出高考?因為初高中學的那些數(shù)學幾乎沒什么用。大多數(shù)人工作后基本不用數(shù)學,用也不過僅限于加減乘除四則運算的范圍。中學生花大量的時間學習立體幾何的公理與證明,添輔助線的特殊技巧,橢圓、雙曲線與拋物線的表達式,微積分……犧牲了多少腦細胞,浪費了多少青春。為什么要學這些以后根本用不上的東西? 當然有人說,學數(shù)學能夠訓練我們的邏輯思維呀。但不學數(shù)學難道就不能掌握邏輯思維了嗎?有心掌握邏輯思維的人,學點邏輯學就夠了。何況大部分工作是重復性、事務性的工作,第一對數(shù)學基本沒有要求,第二對邏輯思維基本無特殊要求,能夠按照上級的指示或規(guī)定的流程去做就行了。在這個意義上,讓中學生普遍學那么高深的數(shù)學根本沒有必要,他們完全可以學習對以后工作更有用的課程,比如禮儀呀、駕駛呀等等。 其實,學數(shù)學只是考試的需要而已。但正是遴選的考慮導致了數(shù)學教育的異化。不就是要確定哪些人有資格上大學,哪些人沒資格嗎?為了把大家的差距拉開,就加大課程的難度。這就把所有中學生都卷進來了。須知,以后真正會走上學術道路的是少數(shù),大部分人是常人,從事一份通常的工作,中學課程就得為這個服務,而不是異化成為了高考。
- 某單位進行年終考評,經(jīng)過民主投票,確定了甲、乙、丙、丁、戊五人作為一等獎的候選人。在五進四的選拔中,需要綜合考慮如下因素:丙、丁至少有一人入選;如果戊入選,那么甲、乙也入選;甲、乙、丁三人至多有兩人入選。 根據(jù)以上陳述,可以得出沒有進四的是誰()。
- (3)
- 若a+b+c≠0,,則k的值為()。
- 根據(jù)下述材料,寫一篇700字左右的論說文,題目自擬。 梭羅說:“一個人越是有許多事情能夠放得下,他就越是富有?!鄙钪校腥苏J為,放下是一種智慧,是一種境界;也有人認為,不放下是一種堅守,是一種精神。
