参考答案【正确答案：B】
推理题。第三段主要介绍观光者和看戏的人在镇上的活动。第三段指出，乘巴士前来的观 光客天黑之前就看完走人了, 他们通常不会去看戏。那些看戏的人却会在赏戏之余安排-些观光活动，他们通常会在镇上过夜。因此RSC认为那些看戏的人给小镇带来大部分收入。 由此可以推出，看戏的人比观光者花钱多，因为他们不仅要买票看戏，还要观光和住宿。因 此B选项正确。

- Parents take a great interest in the（）questions raised by their children.
- 某计算机公司正在研制可揣摩用户情绪的计算机。这种被称为“智能个人助理”的新装置主要通过分析用户敲击键盘的模式，来判断其心情是好是坏，还可通过不断监测用户的活动，逐渐琢磨出其好恶，能在使用者紧张或烦躁时自动减少其所浏览的电子邮件或网站的数量。 以下哪项最不可能是这种计算机提供的功能（）。
- 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。） 日前，多地密集出台高考改革方案，有不少省市拿英语开刀。但一个数万人的在线调查显示，竟然有七成网友支持“数学滚出高考”，看来许多人厌恶数学甚于英语。 为什么数学应该滚出高考？因为初高中学的那些数学几乎没什么用。大多数人工作后基本不用数学，用也不过仅限于加减乘除四则运算的范围。中学生花大量的时间学习立体几何的公理与证明，添辅助线的特殊技巧，椭圆、双曲线与抛物线的表达式，微积分……牺牲了多少脑细胞，浪费了多少青春。为什么要学这些以后根本用不上的东西？ 当然有人说，学数学能够训练我们的逻辑思维呀。但不学数学难道就不能掌握逻辑思维了吗？有心掌握逻辑思维的人，学点逻辑学就够了。何况大部分工作是重复性、事务性的工作，第一对数学基本没有要求，第二对逻辑思维基本无特殊要求，能够按照上级的指示或规定的流程去做就行了。在这个意义上，让中学生普遍学那么高深的数学根本没有必要，他们完全可以学习对以后工作更有用的课程，比如礼仪呀、驾驶呀等等。 其实，学数学只是考试的需要而已。但正是遴选的考虑导致了数学教育的异化。不就是要确定哪些人有资格上大学，哪些人没资格吗？为了把大家的差距拉开，就加大课程的难度。这就把所有中学生都卷进来了。须知，以后真正会走上学术道路的是少数，大部分人是常人，从事一份通常的工作，中学课程就得为这个服务，而不是异化成为了高考。
- 某单位进行年终考评，经过民主投票，确定了甲、乙、丙、丁、戊五人作为一等奖的候选人。在五进四的选拔中，需要综合考虑如下因素：丙、丁至少有一人入选；如果戊入选，那么甲、乙也入选；甲、乙、丁三人至多有两人入选。 根据以上陈述，可以得出没有进四的是谁（）。

- 根据下述材料，写一篇700字左右的论说文，题目自拟。 梭罗说：“一个人越是有许多事情能够放得下，他就越是富有。”生活中，有人认为，放下是一种智慧，是一种境界；也有人认为，不放下是一种坚守，是一种精神。
