- 一般而言，科学家总是把创新性研究当作自己的目标，并且只把同样具有此种目标的人作为自己的同行。因此，如果有的科学家因为向大众普及科学知识而赢得赞誉，虽然大多数科学家会认同这种赞誉，但不会把这样的科学家作为自己的同行。 为使上述论证成立，以下哪项必须假设（）。 Ⅰ.创新性科学研究比普及科学知识更重要； Ⅱ.大多数科学家认为，普及科学知识不需要创新性研究； Ⅲ.大多数科学家认为，从事普及科学知识，不可能同时进行创新性研究。

- 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） 随着我国铁路业的快速发展，西柳铁路具有强劲的基本面支撑。一旦铁路业开放其资本重建，即将上市的西柳铁路将成为铁路行业的中国移动。 今年前八个月，该行业的固定投资增长不足8％，远未达到行业国家五年规划所定的年度投资目标，这主要是因为铁路业的投资回报率不高和旧体制的制约造成的。目前，全国的平均资产回报率约为6％，而铁路业只有2％左右，因此，我们预计该行业将会进行运价改革和体制梳理。 从全球来看，铁路的能耗是公路的1/45，其占地和污染物排放量也比公路少很多。我国人多地少，能源不足，可以说，跨越式发展铁路业是本届政府基于国情、建设发展环境友好型经济所做出的科学决策。 由于路网资产具有不可分割性，西柳铁路作为融资平台具有不可替代性，其资产注入因而具有持续性。如果按照铁道部提出的“以存量换增量”的改革思路，西柳铁路的注资可能持续时间更长，次数更多。 按照索罗斯的观点，股价取决于公司的价值也影响公司的价值，对于以兼并收购为发展战略的公司来说，股价越高，公司的价值就越大。中国移动就是很好的例子。当年电讯业改革时，诞生了中国移动那样的超级牛股。它在香港发行后，两年之内股价从8港元不断上涨，最终达到金融危机前的90港元。如今中国移动的股价已稳稳地站在120元之上，仍然是香港股市不可动摇的市场发动机之一。 可惜国内绝大多数投资人没有亲身经历过中国移动的投资过程。或许，西柳铁路是您一生中仅有的另外一次类似的投资机会。
