參考答案【正確答案:B】
推理題。文章最后一段最后一句指出,這種公平感是在卷尾猴和人類身上各自獨立演化而 成的,還是來自3500萬年前他們共同的祖先,這還是一個懸而未決的問題。B選項就是這句 話的改寫,其中 human indignation 對應(yīng) sense of fairness, uncertain source 對應(yīng) unanswered question。因此B選項正確。

- 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(jié)論,結(jié)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(xué)滾出高考”,看來許多人厭惡數(shù)學(xué)甚于英語。 為什么數(shù)學(xué)應(yīng)該滾出高考?因為初高中學(xué)的那些數(shù)學(xué)幾乎沒什么用。大多數(shù)人工作后基本不用數(shù)學(xué),用也不過僅限于加減乘除四則運算的范圍。中學(xué)生花大量的時間學(xué)習(xí)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(xué)這些以后根本用不上的東西? 當然有人說,學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)能夠訓(xùn)練我們的邏輯思維呀。但不學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)難道就不能掌握邏輯思維了嗎?有心掌握邏輯思維的人,學(xué)點邏輯學(xué)就夠了。何況大部分工作是重復(fù)性、事務(wù)性的工作,第一對數(shù)學(xué)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(xué)生普遍學(xué)那么高深的數(shù)學(xué)根本沒有必要,他們完全可以學(xué)習(xí)對以后工作更有用的課程,比如禮儀呀、駕駛呀等等。 其實,學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)只是考試的需要而已。但正是遴選的考慮導(dǎo)致了數(shù)學(xué)教育的異化。不就是要確定哪些人有資格上大學(xué),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(xué)生都卷進來了。須知,以后真正會走上學(xué)術(shù)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(xué)課程就得為這個服務(wù),而不是異化成為了高考。

- 在軍訓(xùn)成果匯報儀仗隊的訓(xùn)練營地,某軍訓(xùn)連一百多個大學(xué)生在練習(xí)不同隊形的轉(zhuǎn)換。如果他們排成五列人數(shù)相等的橫隊,只剩下連長在隊伍前面喊口令;如果他們排成七列這樣的橫隊,只有連長仍然可以在前面領(lǐng)隊;如果他們排成八列,就可以有兩人作為領(lǐng)隊了。在軍訓(xùn)營排練時,營長要求他們排成三列橫隊。 以下哪項是最可能出現(xiàn)的情況()。
