- 某教育專家認(rèn)為：“男孩危機(jī)”是指男孩調(diào)皮搗蛋、膽小怕事、學(xué)習(xí)成績不如女孩好等現(xiàn)象。近些年，這種現(xiàn)象已經(jīng)成為兒童教育專家關(guān)注的一個(gè)重要問題。這位專家在列出一系列統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)后，提出了“今日男孩為什么從小學(xué)、中學(xué)到大學(xué)全面落后于同年齡階段的女孩”的疑問，這無疑加劇了無數(shù)男孩家長的焦慮。該專家通過分析指出，恰恰是家庭和學(xué)校不恰當(dāng)?shù)慕逃椒▽?dǎo)致了“男孩危機(jī)”現(xiàn)象。 以下哪項(xiàng)如果為真，最能對(duì)該專家的觀點(diǎn)提出質(zhì)疑（）。
- 某大學(xué)文學(xué)院語言學(xué)專業(yè)2014年畢業(yè)的5名研究生張、王、李、趙、劉分別被三家用人單位天樞、天機(jī)、天璇中的一家錄用，并且各單位至少錄用了其中的一名。已知： （1）李被天樞錄用； （2）李和趙沒有被同一家單位錄用； （3）劉和趙被同一家單位錄用； （4）如果張被天璇錄用，那么王也被天璇錄用。 以下哪項(xiàng)一定是正確的（）。
- 在西方幾個(gè)核大國中，當(dāng)核試驗(yàn)得到了有效的限制，老百姓就會(huì)傾向于省更多的錢，出現(xiàn)所謂的商品負(fù)超常消費(fèi)；當(dāng)核試驗(yàn)的次數(shù)增多的時(shí)候，老百姓就會(huì)傾向于花更多的錢，出現(xiàn)所謂的商品正超常消費(fèi)。因此，當(dāng)核戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)成為能普遍覺察到的現(xiàn)實(shí)威脅時(shí)，老百姓為存錢而限制消費(fèi)的愿望大大降低，商品正超常消費(fèi)的可能性大大增加。 上述論證基于以下哪項(xiàng)假設(shè)（）。
- 新近一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，海水顏色能夠讓颶風(fēng)改變方向，也就是說，如果海水變色，颶風(fēng)的移動(dòng)路徑也會(huì)變向。這也就意味著科學(xué)家可以根據(jù)海水的“臉色”判斷哪些地區(qū)將被颶風(fēng)襲擊，哪些地區(qū)會(huì)幸免于難。值得關(guān)注的是，全球氣候變暖可能已經(jīng)讓海水變色。 以下哪項(xiàng)最可能是科學(xué)家做出判斷所依賴的前提（）。
