- 《神奇植物学杂志》创刊号中对神奇植物的介绍有：有些裸子植物是落叶植物，所有裸子植物都不是针叶植物。据此，张教授认为，有些落叶植物肯定不能生长在海拔超过1000米的地方。 张教授是依据以下哪一项做出的结论（）。
- 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。） 财富实属中性，本无善恶。观察的视角不同，便赋予了它不同的属性。今天回过头来看资本主义，经过了原始资本积累的黑人奴隶、殖民战争等残酷手段，掠夺了财富，形成了一个个很强势的跨国公司，铸成强势的资本，成就了今天的发展。中国改革开放这么多年来，实际上是在完成民族资本的原始积累。对于那个时候的资本的原始积累，如果现在我们始终要用放大镜显微镜去看财富，太多地追究财富到底是从哪来的，到底是什么颜色，可能会加速资本的流失。 财富的形成，往往取决于企业家的思维和秉性。他们做出跟现有习惯和条例不一样的举措，方能把本来闲置的资源整合起来发挥作用。一个循规蹈矩的人，可能是一个时代的道德楷模，但他不具备独立的个性，而是按照一劳永逸的模式获得自身价值。索罗斯把发财秘诀概括为反向思维或称倒行逆施，一些不符合现有规程的操作，即便本身不是创新，也会带来法规制度的进一步完善，形成“魔高一尺，道高一丈”的循环。 一个开杂货铺的小老板，能够解决两个人的就业问题，能够给邻里的生活带来便利，就功德无量。一个创建了商业帝国的人，他解决的就业与创造的福利，更是惠及亿万民众，对他们苛求太甚，很欠妥当。他们纯粹个人的消费是有限的。许多富豪，依然粗茶淡饭，整天梦牵魂绕的就是做事情。通常人朝九晚五，两天周末。他们却没有节假日，飞机上才是他们休息的地方，那份痴迷与辛苦，不是一般人能够领略得到的。 财富莫问出处，关键看怎么发挥作用，看能不能为中国人创造财富。一如山上树，高高在上，但是根子要扎在很深很深的地下，那里有充足的养料。河北省几年前出了个一号文件，不追民企原罪，那是很有创意的事件。可惜后来无声无息了。
