Essayist: Some linguists claim that competent speakers of a language have explicit knowledge of the rules of grammar for that language. However, linguistic ability is not the possession and utilization of a body of knowledge, or rules of grammar, but is more similar to a skill like riding a bicycle. Just as the typical cyclist does not need to know physics, neither does the language user need to know grammar rules.
There is a difference between knowing a set of rules and behaving in accordance with a set of rules most accurately expresses a principle underlying the essayist's argument.

Consider three numbers: 0.9, 1, 1.1, and the difference between the latter number and its previous number is only 0.1. If you multiply each number with itself 10 times, 0.9 becomes 0.31, 1 is still 1, 1.1 becomes 2.85, it is nearly 10 times that of 0.31, and nearly 3 times that of 1. This is how the gap arises!

In order to solve a series of global problems such as food security and energy shortage, the scientific community is stepping up its research on projects such as genetically modified food and clean new energy, with a view to leading people out of the food and energy crisis. From this we can see that the development of science no longer strictly follows this conventional route: scientific problems no longer originate from simple, pictorial scientific curiosity. Science in the routine era is coming.
The term 'Science in the routine era' in this passage means scientific research that points to urgent, urgent, and high-risk issues.

Scientist: Given the human tendency to explore and colonize new areas, some people believe that the galaxy will eventually be colonized by trillions of humans. If so, the vast majority of humans ever to live would be alive during this period of colonization. Since all of us are humans and we have no reason to think we are unrepresentative, the odds are overwhelming that we would be alive during this period, too. But, because we are not alive during this period, the odds are slim that such colonization will ever happen.
The scientist's argument proceeds by inferring that since an event that is taken to be likely on a given hypothesis has not occurred, the hypothesis is probably false.

Some critics of space exploration programs claim that they are too costly to be justified. Moreover, there is the very real risk of a debilitating explosion -- most experts say something like a 1-in-70 chance per flight. Budgetary pressures to make the programs cheaper only serve to undermine safety: one program' s managers uncovered a series of manufacturing flaws that critics contend are a direct consequence of the pressure to produce results as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Attempts to solve one problem can lead to the exacerbation of another problem is the proposition that the passage most closely conforms to.

There is a very complex relationship between genes, traits and diseases. the most primitive way to decipher this relationship is the gene linkage analysis established in the middle of the last century: by comparing the similarities and differences of chromosome bands or genetic markers of different members of families affected by genetic diseases, locate disease-causing genes on chromosomes. This method has made a lot of achievements in the study of single-gene genetic diseases, but its disadvantage is that the resolution is limited, so it is difficult to accurately locate a single gene.
The main content of this text is that there are obvious defects in the method of gene linkage analysis.

Purebred dogs are prone to genetically determined abnormalities. Although such abnormalities often can be corrected by surgery, the cost can reach several thousand dollars. Since nonpurebred dogs rarely suffer from genetically determined abnormalities, potential dog owners who want to reduce the risk of incurring costly medical bills for their pets would be well advised to choose nonpurebred dogs.
A dog that does not have genetically determined abnormalities may nevertheless have offspring with such abnormalities if true, most seriously weakens the argument.

Statistics show that the safety of civil aviation flight has been greatly improved in recent years. For example, a country had 0.2 fatal accidents per 1 million flights in 2008, compared with 1.4 in 1989. According to the statistics of these years, the incidence of malignant accidents in civil aviation shows a downward trend as a whole. From this, it can be seen that it is becoming safer and safer to travel by air.

After comparing bone changes in people living in Europe over the past 33,000 years, the researchers found that the strength of both leg bones continued to decline from the Middle Stone Age 10,000 years ago to the Roman Empire 2,000 years ago, but the strength of the upper arm bone, which was not related to running, remained stable. It was during this period that agriculture began to rise and human beings gradually changed to a settled way of life. The rise of agriculture has led to lighter bones in modern humans, but the strength of the two later leg bones has barely changed. The researchers concluded that the effects of mechanization and urbanization on bone strength were not significant.
The most likely hypothesis for the researchers' conclusion is that Mechanization and urbanization came after the rise of agriculture.

Environmentalist: Pollution from gasoline burned by cars contributes to serious environmental problems. But the cost of these problems is not reflected in gasoline prices, and hence usually does not affect consumers' decisions about how much to drive. Heavier taxes on gasoline, however, would reflect this cost, and as a result consumers would pollute less.

Editor: Many candidates say that if elected they will reduce governmental intrusion into voters' lives. But voters actually elect politicians who instead promise that the government will provide assistance to solve their most pressing problems. Governmental assistance, however, costs money, and money can come only from taxes, which can be considered a form of governmental intrusion. Thus, governmental intrusion into the lives of voters will rarely be substantially reduced over time in a democracy.

Wechat provides a vibrant public life, which makes it difficult to reach a consensus on public discussion rules. The renovation speed of social tools is far faster than the formation speed of public discussion rules.

As an expert said, shared media can promote the development of social forces independent of the state, but it obviously needs a long multi-dimensional collision and repeated struggle to take shape.

Navigation satellites are located at an altitude of 20,000 kilometers and can be navigated by receiving signals throughout their coverage area. Beyond 20,000 kilometers, a whole new navigation system is needed. Astronomers have proposed several possible navigation systems, the most talked about being pulsar navigation. Pulsars are neutron stars that emit radio or X-ray radiation in the direction of their magnetic poles. They pulse when the axis of rotation does not coincide with the magnetic poles and sweeps across the Earth. Some of these pulsars are so stable that they are comparable to the best atomic clocks on Earth that they are also known as the atomic clocks of the universe. If you can pick up their signals and know where they are, you can use them for interstellar voyages.

Homesteads in rural my country are collectively owned and can only be used by farmers and cannot be bought, sold, leased or inherited. The homestead system guarantees the survival rights of farmers. The houses built by the farmers on the homestead are the assets of the farmers. If farmers are allowed to sell their houses, they are actually allowed to sell the right to use the homestead. If the right to use the homestead is bought by someone else, it will damage the survival rights of farmers. But if farmers are not allowed to sell their houses, it will infringe on farmers' asset rights.

After a follow-up study of 9 people wearing contact lenses and 11 people who did not wear contact lenses, the researchers found that compared with those without contact lenses, the average number of bacteria on the eyeball of people wearing contact lenses increased by an average of two times. There were also differences in the composition of eyeball surface flora between the two groups. Pseudomonas, a bacterium that causes corneal ulcer, is more common in the eyes of people with contact lenses. It can be seen that changing the flora in the eyes with contact lenses is more likely to lead to eye infection
Since the emergence of soft contact lenses, the prevalence of corneal ulcer has increased significantly, if true, best supports the above argument.

The latest report by an international paleontology research team showed that the eunotosaurus living in South Africa 280 million years ago is the ancestor of modern tortoises. They survived the mass extinction from Permian to Triassic. At that time, in order to avoid the harsh natural environment, they worked hard to dig into the ground. At the same time, to ensure that their digging movement of forelimbs was strong enough, their body needed a stable support, which resulted in the continuous widening of their ribs. It can be concluded that the tortoise has a shell to adapt to the environment. And the shell is not for protection, but for digging holes underground.
The forelimbs of the eunotosaurus are strong enough, so they do not need the protection of the tortoise shell should be added as a prerequisite for the rationality of the above conclusion.

The lack of legal aid makes it difficult for the legislative and judicial progress in the protection of criminal human rights to benefit all or even most of the criminal suspects and defendants, resulting in a binary imbalance. Because lawyers can make use of the advantages of resources such as legal knowledge and litigation experience to guide the handling of cases in a direction that is beneficial to their clients, the acceptance rate of their defense opinions such as voluntary surrender and meritorious service is relatively high, so criminal suspects with defense lawyers, defendants are more qualified and likely to enjoy the institutional dividend brought about by the progress of the rule of law than those without defense lawyers. Get more opportunities for leniency and even acquittal.
The lack of legal aid may affect the realization of the rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants is what the author intends to explain through this passage.

One of the things lenders do in evaluating the risk of a potential borrower defaulting on a loan is to consider the potential borrower' s credit score. In general, the higher the credit score, the less the risk of default. Yet for mortgage loans, the proportion of defaults is much higher for borrowers with the highest credit scores than for other borrowers.
The statement 'Mortgage lenders are much less likely to consider risk factors other than credit score when evaluating borrowers with the highest credit scores' most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy in the statements above.

Most ancient Chinese scientific works are empirical summaries rather than theoretical discussions. All the inventions recorded are to solve practical problems in national and social life, rather than trying to make a major breakthrough in a certain research field. In terms of research methods, Chinese science and technology attaches importance to comprehensive overall research and grasp things as a whole, Instead of separating the research objects from the complex connections, studying their entities and attributes independently and exploring their mysteries in detail, this made the science and technology in ancient China not develop to a higher level.
The emphasis of this paragraph is that solving practical problems is the driving force to promote the development of science and technology in ancient China.

The area of floating ice in the Arctic sea area is gradually decreasing, with a total reduction of about 20%, making it difficult for polar bears to have a long-term foothold on the floating ice. In addition, some countries hunt and kill a large number of seals, making it less and less for polar bears to prey on seals on the floating ice. When we came to a bay near 80 degrees north latitude on the northwest coast of Spitsbergen Island, the Arctic, We were surprised to shoot the whole process of polar bear fishing. We saw that polar bears changed their habit of feeding on seals and not going into the water and began to jump out of the cold water to catch fish.

Several years ago, the number of wood bison became so low that conservationists began breeding the wood bison in an enclosed refuge. In this time, the number of wood bison has tripled and, according to conservationists, this number is enough for a species to remain viable in the wild. Yet since the wood bison's habitat is still imperiled, conservationists plan to move the wood bison 2, 000 miles away, where the American buffalo, a distinct species, flourishes. The conservationists predict that such a plan will allow for the long-term viability of the wood bison as a species.
If true, the statement 'American buffalo once shared territory with the wood bison, but the American buffalo's territory slowly moved south so that now the American buffalo no longer inhabits the same area as the wood bison' calls into question the conservationist's prediction.

Demand levels for some categories of products are closely interdependent. When one type of a product can serve as a complement for another product, the levels of demand for these goods are positively related. An increase in the demand for one product usually increases the demand for its complementary product. Similarly, a decrease in the demand for one good causes a decrease in the demand for its complementary product.
An increase in the demand for toothpaste results in an increase in the demand for cellular phones provides an example of the relationship between product demands described above.

As an edible sugar, fructose has been widely used in the food processing industry. Fructose is kept in the blood after entering human cells. Its metabolic pathway in the human body is independent of insulin. The intake of human body does not cause fluctuations in blood glucose and insulin levels. Therefore, fructose has a smaller effect on glucose in patients with diabetes than glucose, and blood sugar in diabetic patients does not increase after fructose intake. Fructose is a kind of sugar beneficial to health.
The statement "Fructose is hydrolyzed from starch, which is first decomposed into glucose, and then transformed into a mixture of fructose and glucose, so fructose does not come from fruit" does not weaken the above conclusion.

Scientist: Given the human tendency to explore and colonize new areas, some people believe that the galaxy will eventually be colonized by trillions of humans. If so, the vast majority of humans ever to live would be alive during this period of colonization. Since all of us are humans and we have no reason to think we are unrepresentative, the odds are overwhelming that we would be alive during this period, too. But, because we are not alive during this period, the odds are slim that such colonization will ever happen.
The scientist's argument proceeds by inferring that since an event that is taken to be likely on a given hypothesis has not occurred, the hypothesis is probably false.

At present, more and more parents are gradually aware of the importance of EQ and are fascinated by the promotion of children's EQ training by training institutions. Tens of thousands of tuition fees a year can not stop their enthusiasm. There are several possible reasons analyzed by experts: one is that they are aware of the need to cultivate their children's EQ, and the other is that parents feel that there is something wrong with their children's education. They prefer to send their children out for education rather than look for reasons from their own educational ideas, which is actually an expression of shirking responsibility; in addition, there are self-fulfilling values forged in the daily work mode of white-collar workers, which makes young parents too anxious in the process of educating their children, which is also the reason for the popularity of training courses.
