[单项选择]Passage Two

The ethnic group known as Ashkenazim is blessed with more than its fair share of talented minds, but is also prone to a number of serious genetic diseases. Researchers now suggest that intelligence is closely linked to several illnesses in Ashkenazi Jews, and that the diseases are the result of natural selection. Ashkenazim are descended from Jewish communities in Germany, Austria, Poland, and Eastern Europe that date back to the 10th century. Today they make up approximately 80 percent of the world’s Jewish population. Ashkenazim have the highest average IQ of any ethnic group, scoring 12 to 15 points above the European average. They are also strongly represented in fields and occupations requiring high cognitive ability. For instance, Jews of European ancestry account for 27 percent of U. S. Nobel science prize winners.A. diseases caused by absence of an enzyme B. life-threatening genetic diseases C. diseases that make people more intelligent D. the same disease with different terms 查看答案 更多"Passage Two The ethnic gr"的相关试题: [单项选择]Passage Two The ethnic group known as Ashkenazim is blessed with more than its fair share of talented minds, but is also prone to a number of serious genetic diseases.

Statistics had a mother who was dedicated to keeping orderly records of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root, status) and a gentlemanly gambling father who relied on mathematics to increase his skill at playing the odds in games of chance. The influence of the mother on the offspring, statistics, is represented by counting, measuring, describing, tabulating, .ordering, and the taking of censuses - all of which led to modern descriptive statistics. From the influence of the father came modern inferential statistics, which is based squarely on theories of probability. Descriptive statistics involves tabulating, depicting, and describing collections of data. These data may be either quantitative, such as mea A. It leads to increased variability. B. It solves all numerical problems. C. It simplifies unwieldy masses of data. D. It changes qualitative variables to quantitative variables. 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Two "With two friends I started a journey to Greece, the most horrendous of all journeys. It had all the details of a nightmare: barefoot walking in rough roads, risking death in the dark, police dogs hunting us, drinking water from the rain pools in the road and a rude awakening at gunpoint from the police under a bridge. My parents were terrified and decided that it would be better to pay someone to hide me in the back of a car." This 16-year-old Albanian high-school drop-out, desperate to leave his impoverished country for the nirvana of clearing tables in an Athens restaurant, might equally well have been a Mexican heading for Texas or an Algerian youngster sneaking into France. He had the misfortune to be born on the wrong side of a line that now divides the world: the line between those whose passports allow them to move and s A. the extreme poverty of his country B. the terrible picture of illegal migration C. the strong desire of poor people to leave for rich countries D. the difficulty in a long cross-border journey 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage Two In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastestgrowing the U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact’ that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than A. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English B. are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character C. still worry about unfair treatment in society D. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents 查看答案 我来回答: 提交 最新试题 ●    Passage Two The ethnic group known as As ●    [单选题]《省政府2号令》规定,生产经营单位应当建立[ ]作业、 [ ]隔离上锁挂牌、风险岗位应 ●    [填空题]施工作业项目必须与施工计划一致，严禁无计划、（ ）和超范围准备。 ●    [判断题]干粉消防车装粉前应检查干粉罐底部放余粉法兰螺栓是否松动，橡胶密封垫是否垫好，如有不当应重新 ●    [单选题]员工应在公司制度许可范围内报销费用。任何（ ）不得进行报销。 ●    [判断题]中转车可分为无调中转车和有调中转车两种。 网站地图 我要搜题网  版权所有  ©2023  湘ICP备18016427号   购买搜题卡查看答案 [会员特权] 开通VIP， 查看 全部题目答案 [会员特权] 享免全部广告特权 推荐91天 ¥36.8 ￥80元 31天 ¥20.8 ￥40元 365天 ¥88.8 ￥188元 请选择支付方式 微信支付 支付宝支付 点击支付即表示同意并接受了《购买须知》 立即支付 系统将自动为您注册账号 已有账号登录 找回账号密码 请使用微信扫码支付 订单号： 请不要关闭本页面，支付完成后请点击【支付完成】按钮 支付完成 取消支付 恭喜您，购买搜题卡成功 系统为您生成的账号密码如下： 账号 密码 重要提示：请拍照或截图保存账号密码！ 我要搜题网官网：https://www.woyaosouti.com 我已记住账号密码
