参考答案
【正确答案:E】
根据左栏信号词Protest riots occurred可回文定位到第1段:...as evidenced by the protest riots that have erupted in places like Haiti, Bangladesh and Burkina Faso; 发生在海地、孟加拉以及布基纳法索(非洲国家)的由抗议引起的暴乱都证实了这一点。
请注意题干信息与原文的语义对应:题干的Protest riots (由抗议引起的暴乱)对应原文的protest riots (由抗议引起的暴乱);题干的occurred(发生)对应原文的erupted(爆发)。比对选项,可发现E项恰与上述定位信息语义一致,故选E。

- 科学研究表明,大量吃鱼可以大大减少患心脏病的危险,这里起作用的关键因素是在鱼油中所含的丰富的“奥米加-3”脂肪酸。因此,经常服用保健品“奥米加-3”脂肪酸胶囊将大大有助于预防心脏病。 以下哪项如果为真,最能削弱题干的论证()。
- 某省大力发展旅游产业,目前已经形成东湖、西岛、南山三个著名景点,每处景点都有二日游、三日游、四日游三种路线。李明、王刚、张波拟赴上述三地进行9日游,每个人都设计了各自的旅游计划。后来发现,每处景点他们三人都选择了不同的路线:李明赴东湖的计划天数与王刚赴西岛的计划天数相同,李明赴南山的计划是三日游,王刚赴南山的计划是四日游。 根据以上陈述,可以得出以下哪项()。
- 分析下述论证中存在的缺陷和漏洞,选择若干要点,写一篇600字左右的文章,对该论证的有效性进行分析和评论。(论证有效性分析的一般要点是:概念特别是核心概念的界定和使用是否准确并前后一致,有无各种明显的逻辑错误,论证的论据是否成立并支持结论,结论成立的条件是否充分等等。 导游作为旅游活动接待计划的具体执行者,为多少个旅游者打开一扇又一扇明亮的窗;作为使者,传播着一遍又一遍的信息,传承一代又一代的文化与文明。然而,时代与科学技术快速发展,互联网技术颠覆性革命,透明与便捷成为了必然,当上下游的沟通能够在更加快速、更为直接的平台完成的时候,导游的生存空间大大萎缩。 作为旅游产品的服务者,导游连接纽带的作用在弱化,面对利益面前的无序竞争,导游往往一不小心就沦为行业的“牺牲品”,谁也不会想到曾经的时代宠儿却沦落到无组织、无保障、无纪律的“三无人员”的境地,催生“恶导游”,各种误导游客消费、强制消费事件不断……导致旅游市场这些乱象的根本原因,其实就在于导游薪酬体系的混乱。 当导游作为“提供服务者”不被消费者认同,而服务“小费”又还没有成为习惯的时候,导游小费被视为灰色收入就成为必然,只能在定位不清晰并不太规范的状态下苟且偷生了。为此,日前国家旅游局首次联手人力资源和社会保障部、中华全国总工会发布《关于进一步加强导游劳动权益保障的指导意见》,明确提出,“旅行社要探索建立基于游客自愿支付的对导游优质服务的奖励机制”,首次从国家层面肯定并鼓励探索建立游客自愿支付奖励机制。虽然缺乏明确的细化标准,但是推动导游小费合法化的努力,还是要给予点赞。 导游小费的规范与生态重构意味着人们对导游服务过程的认可和理解,游客根据对导游服务的满意程度而付出所愿意付出的报酬,对导游给予外部激励,效用满足源自于导游服务的热情、周到,这种心理感受可以人为地量化,在一定条件下,效用是可以度量的,这把无形的尺度就是服务质量,从“市场化”角度而言自然就解决了旅游服务中的监督问题。相信中国的旅游业一旦从法律上建立起像西方发达国家已经形成以服务质量为前提的导游小费制,目前的这些市场乱象就必将会得到极大的改善。
