    [D] any history of this kind should be written in this way.


    正确答案:B
    60.B该题为观点态度题。根据最后一段可知,作者提出了马基雅维利在内容上的缺陷,即“…adhering at times too closely to the chroni- clers of his time, and at others rejecting their testimony without ap- parent reason…”,意思是“文章中有时候太过于附和他所在时代的编年史,而有时候又坚决抛弃其中的论断,而没有给出任何明显的理由…”。而最后一句作者表明“It is the straightforward, logical narrative, which always holds the interest ofhe reader, that is the greatest charm of the History.”意思是:“他直接的、有逻辑的叙述常常能引起读者的兴趣,这就是这本书的魅力所在。”可见,作者认为这本书内容上有缺陷,而对马基雅维利的语言风格持肯定态度。所以,作者对《佛罗伦萨史》的看法就是:这本书的魅力在于他的文体风格而不是内容,故选B。

  • 第7题:


    The author’s reason for quoting Judge Hand is to( )

    A.call attention to the writing ofThucydides and Carlyle
    B.support the thesis of the author that literature broadens our understanding and stretches our faculties
    C.point out that constitutional law is a part of the great literature of our past
    D.show that everyone,including judges,enjoys reading

    答案:B
    解析:
    例证题。根据题干关键词Judge Hand可定位到第六段及第五段第二句Additionally,however,it has been suggested that solutions of social problems may be suggested in the study ofliterature,由此可知,引用Judge Hand的话的原因是证明优秀作品有利于拓展我们的理解,提高我们的能力。A、C两项只是Judge Hand举的部分例子,并不是作者举例的原因。故本题选B。参考译文:反对过于严苛,或过于精炼的经典课程,一些教育哲学家已经完全赞同将“生活体验”作为学习的唯一来源。他们对约翰·杜威的教育思想做出狭义的阐释,基于这种阐释,他们总结出,只有通过“做”才能学习知识。有这样的一句习语,“教孩子学习,而不是学科”。他们认为,不需要感受学习的无聊,阻止枯燥学习的方法是打开学习之门。尽管不完全遵守这个方法都可能让人们彻底摒弃阅读优秀书籍,但这种思想已经影响了公立学校的课程,比如重要的文学课程逐渐降到次要位置。文学的目的是什么?如果生活是我们的老师,为什么要读文学?詹姆斯·乔伊斯说,艺术家通过从生活中重新创造生活的方法来揭示人类的境遇;亚里士多德说,艺术显示了普遍真理,因为它的形式来源于大自然。因此,伟大的作家有意识或无意识地热情地阐释了人类的处境,将我们的理解范围拓展到了我们所处的世界之外。我们能够和作家一起感受人类欲望的制高点,或者跌入悲剧的深渊。斯坦贝克、安徒生以及塞林格的作品,惠特曼、桑德伯格以及弗罗斯特的诗歌,易卜生、米勒以及奥尼尔的戏剧:所有的作品都是生活问题的真实写照。现实?是的!但是我们通过阅读获得的对生活的理解与我们通过对生活的窥探而获得的经验相比,道理深刻了不知多少倍。年轻读者与汤姆和哈克一起在密西西比河冒险,或者,为与黑骑士战斗时的艾凡赫喝彩;成熟读者对威廉·福克纳与田纳西·威廉姆斯的南方悲剧和帕特里克·怀特的澳大利亚开拓者的最佳决定以及挫败,有着的深刻理解,我们能够衡量出他们在阅读过程中收获有多大吗?文学扩展我们生活圈的功能,本身就是十分重要的。此外,社会问题也可以在文学作品中得到解决。政治领导人的自负野心——对法律的蔑视——在伯恩斯坦和伍德沃德的作品中首次没有出现;充满了罪恶的问题和最终行动,并没有受到20世纪心理分析学家的责难。联邦法官勒恩德·汉德曾写道,“我宁愿相信评判宪法中的问题,与认识苏维切德、吉本、凯雷、荷马、但丁、莎士比亚、弥尔顿、蒙田、拉伯雷、柏拉图、培根、休谟、康德,并阅读一些书,特别是相同专题的书同样重要。类似于这些事情,每件事都会转向处理这些问题的思想上”。但是,我们的反对者呢?我们能够克服反对的声音,接受他们的“生活体验教室”的学习理论吗?我们必须赞同——教育应该服务于提高自身和社会。我们必须通过教育让他们理解人类的经验应该延伸我们人类的官能,让我们全心全意地去学习。我们必须使他们相信——可能在他们自身的语言中——生活和艺术的“融合”;我们必须向他们证明,尽管分离,但是艺术仍然是生活的一部分,它照亮了我们的生活。
