【正确答案:A】
含义题。根据题干关键词定位到第五段the union and community advocacy groups have been organizing fast-food strikes…,可见community advocacy groups和union(工会)所起的作用类似,都在组织罢工。advocacy意为“支持,拥护”,community advocacy groups直译是“社区拥护组织”,可灵活译为“社区宣传组织”,故A项为正确答案。B项“促进,提升”,C项“动机,动力”和D项“刺激,激发”属于对词义的误解,故排除。

- 化学课上,张老师演示了两个同时进行得教学实验:一个实验是加热后缓慢产生:另一个实验加热后迅速撒入少量,这时立即有大量的产生。张老师由此指出:是快速产生的原因。 以下哪项与张老师得出结论的方法类似()。
- 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。) 如果你要从股市中赚钱,就必须低价买进股票,高价卖出股票,这是人人都明白的基本道理。但是问题的关键在于如何判断股票价值的高低。只有正确的判断股价的高低,上述的基本道理才有意义,否则就毫无实用价值。 股价的高低是一个相对的概念,只有通过比较才能显现。一般来说,要正确判断一支股票的高低,唯一的途径就是看它的历史表现。但是有人在判断当前某一股票的高低时,不注重股票的历史表现,而是注重股票今后的走势,这是一种危险的行为,因为股票的历史表现是一种客观事实,客观事实具有无可争辩的确定性;股票的今后走势只是一种主观预测,主观预测具有极大的不确定性。我们怎么可以只凭主观预测而不顾客观事实呢? 再说,股价的未来走势充满各种变数,它的涨和跌不是必然的,而是或然的。我们只能借助概率进行预测。假如宏观经济、市场态势和个人股表现均好,它的上涨概率就大;假如宏观经济、市场态势和个股表现均不好,它的上涨概率就小;假如宏观经济、市场态势和个股表现不相一致,它的上涨概率就需要酌情而定。 由此可见,要从股市获取利益,第一是要掌握股价涨跌的概率,第二还是要掌握股价涨跌的概率,第三也还是要掌握股价涨跌的概率。掌握了股价涨跌的概率,你就能赚钱;否则,你就会赔钱。
- 我国著名地质家李四光在东北考察发现,松辽平原地质结构与中亚西亚十分相似。他判断:既然中亚有大量石油,松辽平原很可能也蕴含大量石油。后来,大庆油田的开发证明了他的判断是对的。 以下哪项与李四光的推理方式相似()。

- 根据文物保护法,被作为文物保护的建筑物或其他设施,其所有权即使属于个人,所有者也无权对其进行修缮、装饰乃至改建。这一规定并不妥当,因为有时有的所有者提出对文物进行外观和内部结构的改造,是他们确信,这样做有利于加固和美化文物而提高它们的价值。 以下哪项如果为真,最能削弱上述论证()。
