问答题

The following appeared in a memorandum written by the vice president of Nature’s Way, a chain of stores selling health food and other health-related products.　　“Previous experience has shown that our stores are most profitable in areas where residents are highy concerned with leading healthy lives. We should therefore build our next new store in Plalnsville, which has many such residents. Plainsiville merchants report that sales of running shoes and exercise dothiog are at all-time highs. The local health club, which nearly closed five years ago due to lack of business, has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobics classes are always full. We can even anticipate a new generation of customers: Plainsiville’s schoolchildren are required to participate in a ‘fitness for life’ program, which emphasizes the benefits of regular exercise at an early age.”　　Discuss how well-reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion, be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative examples or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.

正确答案：【参考范文】
In this memo the vice president of Nature’s Way (NW), a chain of stores selling health food and health-related products, recommends opening a store in Plainesville. To support this recommendation the vice president cites the following facts about Plainesville: (1) sales of exercise shoes and clothing are at all-time highs; (2) the local health club is more popular than ever; and (3) the city’s schoolchildren are required to participate in a fitness program. Close scrutiny of each of these facts, however, reveals that none of them lend credible support to the recommehdation.
First, strong sales of exercise apparel do not necessarily indicate that Plainesville residents would be interested in NW’s products, or that these residents are interested in exercising. Perhaps exercise apparel happens to be fashionable at the moment, or inexpensive compared to other types of clothing. For that matter, perhaps the stronger-than-usual sales are due to increasing sales to tourists. In short, without ruling out other possible reasons for the strong sales the vice president cannot convince me on the basis of them that Plainesville residents are exercising regularly, let alone that they would be interested in buying the sorts of food and other products that NW sells.
Secondly, even if exercise is more popular among Plainesville residents than ever before, the vice president assumes further that people who exercise regularly are also interested in buying health food and health-related products. Yet the memo contains no evidence to support this assumption. Lacking such evidence it is equally possible that aside fron exercising Plainesville residents have little interest in leading a healthy lifestyle. In fact, perhaps as a result of regular exercise they believe they are sufficiently fit and healthy and do not need a heathy diet.
Thirdly, the popularity of the local health club is little indication that NW will earn a profit from a store in Plalnesville. Perhaps club membem live in an area of Plainesville nowhere near feasible sites for a NW store. Or perhaps the club’s primary appeal is as a singles meeting place, and that members actually have little interest in a healthy lifestyle. Besides, even if the club’s members would patronize a NW store these members might be insufficient in number to ensure a profit for the store, especially considering that this health club is the only one in Plainesville.
Fourth, the fact that a certain fitness program is mandatory for Plainesville’s schoolchildren accomplishes nothing toward bolstering the recommendation. Many years must pass before these children will be old enough to make buying decisions when it comes to food and health-related products. Their habits and interests might change radically over time. Besides, mandatory participation is no indication of genuine interest in health or fitness. Moreover, when these children grow older it is entirely possible that they will favor an unhealthy lifestyle—as a reaction to the healthful habits imposed upon them now.
Finally, even assuming that Plainesville residents are strongly interested in eating health foods and health-related products, the recommendation rests on two additional assumptions: (1) that this interest will continue in the foreseeable future, and (2) that Plainesville residents will prefer NW over other merchants that sell similar products. Until the vice president substantiates both assumptions I remain unconvinced that a NW store in Plainesville would be profitable.
In sum, the recommendmion relies on certiain doubtful assumptions that render it unconvincing as it stands. To bolster the recommendation the vice president must provide clear evidence—perhaps by way of a local survey or study—that Plainesville residents who buy and wear exercise apparel, and especially the health club’s members, do in fact exercise regularly, and that these exercisers are likely to buy health foods and health-related products at a NW store. To better assess the recommendation, I would need to know why Plainesville’s health club is popular, and why Plainesville does not contain more health clubs. I would also need to know what competition NW might face in Plainesville.

Nervous critics, including many scientists, worry that there is corporate, national, international,and inter-scientific rivalry in the entire biotechnological field.They create images not of oil spills,but of"microbe spills"that could spread disease and destroy entire populations.The creation and accidental release of extremely poisonous microbes,however,is only one cause for alarm.Completely rational and respectable scientists are talking about possibilities that stagger the imagination.
Should we breed people with cow一with stomachs so they can digest grass and hay,thereby relieving the food problem by modifying us to eat lower down on the food chain?Should we biologically alter workers to fit the job requirement,for example,creating pilots with faster reaction times or assembly-line workers designed to do our monotonous work for us?Should we attempt to eliminate "inferior" people and breed a"super-race"?(Hitler tried this,but without the genetic weaponry that may soon issue from our laboratories.)Should we produce soldiers to do our fighting?Should we use genetic forecasting to pre-eliminate"unfit"babies?Should we grow reserve organs for ourselves, each of us having,as it were,a"savings bank"full of spare kidney,livers,or hands?
Wild as these notions may sound,every one has its advocates(and opposers)in the scientific community as well as its striking commercial application.As two critics of genetic engineering, Jeremy Rifkin and Ted Howard,state in their book Who Should Play God?,"Broad scale genetic engineering will probably be introduced to America much the same way as assembly lines,automobiles,vaccines,computers and all the other technologies.As each new genetic advance becomes commercially practical,a new consumer need will be exploited and a market for the new technology will be created."

According to the passage,which of the following would worry the critics the most?
A:The unanticipated explosion of population.
B:The creation of biological solar cells.
C:The accidental spill of oil.
D:The unexpected release of destructive microbes.

答案：D

解析：

第一段第二句，“They dream of placing enzymes in the automobile to monitor exhaust”，大公司梦想在汽车内放置酶来检测汽车尾气，这样做的目的是为了“adjusting the engine”，所以选B项。
批评家们担心那些大公司“create images not of oil spills, but of ‘microbe spills' that could spread disease...”，并非漏油，而是泄露传染疾病的微生物，因此选项D正确。
选项A、B和C分别在文章中第三段都提到了，即开发“人体器官银行”、创造出士兵和工人和具有特殊消化能力的人类，但没有提到选项D，利用基因预报来治愈疾病。
希特勒试图“eliminate‘inferior' people and breed a‘super-race' , Hitler tried this, but without the genetic weaponry”，由于没有基因武器，他没有做到这一点，我们为此感到庆幸。所以选项C正确。
两位评论家在他们的书中说到“As each new genetic advance becomes commercially practical,a new consumer need will be exploited and a market for the new technology will be created”，有了新技术就有了新的消费需求，因此选A项。

第18题：

You design a Business Intelligence （BI） solution by using SQL Server 2008. You plan to design the report strategy for a new report project that will be used by a financial application. The application uses five calculations that are implemented in Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 assemblies. The assemblies are written in the C# language and use the static methods. You need to ensure that the calculations can be used by the expressions in all reports. You also need to ensure consistency within the reports by using the least amount of development effort. What should you do？（）

A、 Add a reference to the assemblies in the Report Properties References tab.
B、 Write the calculation logic used by the calculations by using T-SQL functions.
C、 Write the code of the calculation logic into the Report Properties Custom Code tab.
D、 Write the calculation logic in each report by using the mathematical functions available natively to SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services （SSRS）.

正确答案:A

第19题：

单选题

The author implies that an innovative scientific contribution is one that ______.

A

is accepted immediately by the scientific community

B

dies not relegate particulars to the role of data

C

presents a new scientific fact

D

introduces a new valid generalization

正确答案： D

解析：
文章首段在讲到highly creative art和highly creative science的区别时，提到innovative science会提出新的propositions（观点，见解），并以此为依据把不同的现象以更加coherent的方式联系起来，并通过把这些现象转化为数据来构成或测试一项新理论。因此D项概括了上述内容。

第21题：

单选题

There ______ lots of sheep and pigs on my uncle’s farm now.

A

was

B

were

C

is

D

are

正确答案： C

解析：
句意：我叔叔的农场里现在有很多羊和猪。本题考查试题和there be句型。由题干末尾的now可知题干表示的是一般现在时，因此可排除A、B项。There be句型中be动词的选择遵循“就近原则”，sheep单复数同形，且在此处指复数含义，所以be动词用复数。因此D正确。

第22题：

单选题

What is true about Dolly according to the text?

A

She was a lonely sheep in the first place.

B

She was manufactured out of the lab.

C

She was cloned from the cell of a mature sheep.

D

She was replaced by cloned piglets in terms of importance.

正确答案： D

解析：
细节理解题。根据题干中的名字定位到第一段首句“Dolly was once an awfully lonely sheep.” ，由此可知，多利曾经是一只孤单的绵羊，但并没交代是什么阶段，A选项中的in the first place意为“起初，首先”，与文意不符；该段第二句提到“…she was the only mammal ever to be manufactured from the cell of an adult donor”，即多利是唯一一只由原体提取的细胞培养而成的哺乳动物，不能推出它是完全依靠实验室制造出来的，故B选项错误；mature sleep是adult donor的同义转述，故C选项为正确答案；文章最后一句话提到“For the present，even a little new transplant material is a big improvement over what’s available…”，即即使是一个细微的新的移植物在已有的技术基础上都将是一个重大的进步，两者都体现了科技的进步，没有将其重要性进行比较，故D选项错误。
