参考答案【正确答案：B】
根据第五段第一句" On the home front, however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out"（然而，在家中人们这种"有劳有得"的观念并没那么清晰。很少有家庭能把家务划分得不近人情和井井有条）no such clarity与B中seldom-clear-cut相对应。故答案选B。
A项"家是更为舒适的工作环境"，本文主要对比了家和工作场合哪个压力更大，不能得出A结论。根据"There are a lot of tasks to be done;there are inadequate rewards for most of them"（有很多家务活要做，但是做这些家务大都得不到足够的奖赏）可知C项"家务活总体来说让人有动力"和D项"做家务常常会得到足够的奖励"错误。

- 众所周知，血液胆固醇高会增加由血液凝结而引起的中风的危险性。但是，最近的一篇报告指出，血液胆固醇低使人患其他致命类型的中风（即脑溢血，由大脑的动脉血管破裂而引起）的危险性在增大。报告建议，因为血液胆固醇在维持细胞膜的韧性方面起着非常重要的作用，所以低的血液胆固醇会削弱动脉血管壁的强度，从而使它们易于破裂。由此，上述结论证实了日本研究者长期争论的问题，即西方饮食比非西方饮食能更好地防止脑溢血。 上述论述基于下面哪条假设（）。
- “不可动摇的基础”这一说法一度被一位批评家用于阐述某一哲学的武断本质。该哲学家的追随者在面对把他们的哲学付之以实践的政策失败时，只有一个反应，设计另一个不同的政策，将其付诸实施。 从上文可以推导出，假如追随者怎样的话，批评家将会同意（）。

- 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。） 现代企业管理制度的设计要遵循的重要原则是权力的制衡与监督，只要有了制衡与监督，企业的成功就有了保证。 所谓的制衡，指对企业的管理权进行分解，然后使要分解的权力相互制约达到平衡，它可以使任何人不能滥用权力。至于监督，指对企业管理进行严密观察，使企业运营的各个环节处于可控范围之内，而且所有环节都在可控范围之内，那么企业的经营就不可能产生失误。 同时以制衡与监督为原则所设计的企业管理制度还有一个固有特点，即能保证其实施者的有效性，因为环环相扣的监督机制能确保企业内部各级管理者无法敷衍塞责，万一有人敷衍塞责也会受到这一机制的制约。 再者，由于制衡的核心是权力平衡，而企业管理的权力又是企业运营的动力与起点，因此权力平衡就可以使企业运营保持平衡。 另外，从本质上来说，权力平衡就是权力平等，因此，这一观念本身蕴含平等的观念。平等观念一旦成为企业管理理念，必将促成企业内部和谐与稳定。 由此可见，如果权利的制衡与监督这一管理原则付诸实践，就可以使企业运营避免失误，确保其管理制度的有效性，日常运营的平衡以及内部的和谐与稳定，这样企业一定能够成功。
- 针对癌症患者，一声常采用化疗手段将药物直接注入人体杀伤癌细胞，但这也可能将正常细胞和免疫细胞一同杀灭，产生较强的副作用。近来，有科学家发现，黄金纳米粒子很容易被人体癌细胞吸收，如果将其包上一层化疗药物，就可作为“运输工具”，将化疗药物准确地投放到癌细胞中。他们由此断言，微小的黄金纳米粒子能提升癌症化疗的效果，并能降低化疗的副作用。 以下哪项如果为真，能支持上述科学家所做出的论断（）。
