正确答案:C
49.C 【精析】该题为细节题。根据第二段第三句“Western slave traders and slave owners were acted on by purely economic considerations …”我们知道,西方的奴隶贸易者及蓄奴者只是出于经济方面的考虑才进行奴隶贸易的,并不意味着出于好意,即“good intents”,故A项错误;根据第二段最后一句“It was argued,for instance, that enslavement assured the conversion of the African evil-believing religions to the true faith as well as to civilization.”我们知道,“合理化”观点的支持者认为蓄奴使非洲信仰邪恶的宗教转变为真正的信仰及文明,但是,并没有指出蓄奴促进了非洲宗教的发展,故 B项错误,同时可知C项正确;文中没有D项表述的意思。

  • 第2题:

    Text 2

    For centuries the most valuable of African resources for Europeans were the slaves ,but these could be obtained at coastal ports, without any need for going deep inland. Slavery had been an established institution in Africa. Prisoners of war had been enslaved, as were also debtors and individuals guilty of serious crimes. But these slaves usually were treated as part of the family. They had clearly defined rights, and their slave status was not necessarily inherited. Therefore it is commonly argued that Africa's traditional slavery was mild compared to the trans-Atlantic slave trade organized by the Europeans. This argument ,however ,can be carried too far .ln the most recent study of this subject, some scholars warned against the illusion that "cruel and dehumanizing enslavement was a monopoly of the West. Slavery in its extreme forms ,including the taking of life, was common to both Africa and the West. The fact that African slavery had different origins and consequences should not lead us to deny what it was - the exploitation and control of human beings. "Neither can it be denied that the wholesale shipment of Africans to the slave plantations of the Americas was made possible by the participation of African chiefs who rounded up their fellow Africans and sold them as a handsome profit to European ship captains waiting along the coasts.

    Granting all this ,the fact remains that the trans-Atlantic slave trade conducted by the Europeans was entirely different in quantity and quality from the traditional type of slavery that had existed' within Africa. From the beginning the European variety was primarily an economic institution rather than social ,as it had been in Africa. Western slave traders and slave owners were acted on by purely economic considerations ,and were quite ready to work their slaves to death if it was more profitable to do so than to treat them more mercifully. This inhumanity was reinforced by racism when the Europeans became involved in the African slave trade on a large scale. Perhaps as a subconscious rationalization they gradually came to look down on Negroes as inherently inferior ,and therefore destined to serve their white masters. Rationalization also may have been involved in the Europeans' use of religion to justify the traffic in human beings. It was argued ,for instance ,that enslavement assured the conversion of the African evil-believing religions to the true faith as well as to civilization.

    46.1n the first paragraph, the author argues that

    [ A] the Europeans were innocent in the trade of African slaves.

    [ B] slavery in Africa and in the West was the same in nature.

    [ C] the view in the most recent studies of enslavement is baseless.

    [D] slaves had been treated even more cruelly in the African tradition.


    正确答案:B
    Text 2 参考译文几个世纪来,非洲拥有的对于欧洲人来说最有价值的资源是奴隶,但是这些奴隶可以从港口地区获得,没有必要深入非洲大陆。奴隶制度在非洲由来已久。奴隶主要来源于战犯、欠债者、罪行严重的罪犯。但是这些奴隶往往被看做是家庭成员。他们拥有明确的权利,而且他们的奴隶身份不一定是世袭的。因此,人们普遍认为,非洲传统的奴隶制度要比欧洲人组织的跨大西洋的奴隶贸易温和。但是,该观点有失偏颇。 2009年9月参考答案及精析第4页(共12页)在关于该问题的最近的一项研究中,一些学者反对人们将“残酷而不人道的蓄奴行为完全归咎于西方国家。奴隶制度下那些极端残酷的事件,包括屠杀奴隶,在非洲和西方国家均有发生。非洲奴隶制度的起源及造成的后果都不同于西方奴隶制度的事实,不应该使我们因此否认非洲奴隶制度在本质上是对人类的剥削及控制。”而且我们还不能否认,大规模运送非洲奴隶到美洲种植园是在非洲部落首领的参与下完成的,这些部落首领将他们的同胞围捕起来,然后高价卖给那些在海岸周围等待的欧洲船长们。虽然非洲的奴隶制度与西方的奴隶制度本质上一致,但是欧洲人组织的跨大西洋的奴隶贸易在数量上和质量上完全不同于非洲传统的奴隶制度。最初,欧洲蓄奴主要出于经济原因,而并不像非洲是出于社会因素来蓄奴。西方奴隶贸易者和奴隶拥有者完全为了获得经济利益而蓄奴,当他们认为把奴隶累死要比友善地对待他们更加有利可图时,他们会毫不犹豫地选择前者。当欧洲人大规模进行奴隶贸易时,种族主义加强了欧洲人对待奴隶的非人道程度。可能这正是源于一种潜意识上的合理化观点,该观点使得他们逐渐将黑人看做是天生低人一等,因而注定要听从于他们的白人主人。这种合理化观点同样使得欧洲人利用宗教来合法化奴隶贸易。例如,欧洲人认为,蓄奴使非洲信仰邪恶的宗教转变为真正的信仰及文明。答案及解析 46.B【精析】该题为细节题。根据第一段倒数第二句“The fact that Af- rican slavery had different origins and consequences should not lead us to deny what it was-the exploitation and control of human be- ings.”我们知道,尽管非洲当地的奴隶制度与欧洲的奴隶制度有着不同的起源和不同的结果,但是我们应该承认其本质仍然是对人类的剥削和控制,因此非洲及西方国家的奴隶制度在本质上是相同的,故选择B项。

  • 第7题:

    资料:Up to 80 per cent of the world’s middle classes will live in developing countries by 2030 thanks to surprising recent gains in poverty reduction, according to a United Nations report published on Thursday.
    “Never in history have the living conditions and prospects of so many people changed so dramatically and so fast.” concludes the UN’s latest Development Report. “The world is witnessing an epochal ‘global rebalancing’.”
    Underpinning the improvements in the human development index(HDI) was rapid growth in countries such as China, India and Brazil, with China and India having doubled per capita economic output in less than 20 years. But the study stressed that growth and improvements in HDI spread far beyond the four Bric countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and included at least 40 countries that had accompanied greater economic dynamism with effective poverty-reduction policies.
    Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. The report stated that such gains had already helped the world achieve the main poverty eradication goal of the so-called Millennium Development Goals, which called for the share of people living on less than $1.25 a day to be cut by half from 1990 to 2015.
    Underpinning this poverty reduction was developing countries’ increasing share of global trade, which grew from 25 per cent to 47 per cent between 1980 and 2010. “The south as a whole is driving global economic growth and societal change for the first time in centuries,” says the report.
    The report found that trade among developing countries was the biggest factor in that expansion, increasing from less than 10 per cent of total global trade to more than 30 per cent. “Trade between countries in the south will overtake that between developed nations,” the report said.

    “More than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone” illustrates ______.

    A.the economic development of China is important
    B.the role of some developing countries is significant for poverty reduction
    C.14 countries are developing faster than China
    D.it is crucial to make a clear goal first

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】More than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone
    【主题句】第4自然段Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. 自2000年以来,有14个国家的人类发展指数出现了每年逾2%的增长,其中包括阿富汗、塞拉利昂、埃塞俄比亚、卢旺达和安哥拉。报告发现,这在一定程度上导致极端收入贫困比例从1990年的43%降至2008年的仅有22%,其中仅中国一个国家就有逾5亿人脱贫。
    【解析】本题的问题是“‘其中仅中国一个国家就有逾5亿人脱贫’阐明了______”。A选项“中国的经济发展十分重要”,B选项“在扶贫工作中,一些发展中国家角色举足轻重”,C选项“14个国家比中国发展更迅速”,D选项“首先树立清晰目标至关重要”。根据主题句和第3自然段可知,发展中国家经济发展对消除世界贫困人口意义十分重大,因此,选项B正确。选项A过于片面,选项C文中没有将14个国家和中国经济发展进行比较,选项D属于主观臆断。

    [ C] Slavery was confmed to the coastal regions.

    [D] There was no killing in African slavery.


    正确答案:B
    47.B 【精析】该题为细节题。文中并未提到选项A表述的内容;根据第一段第五句“They had clearly defined rights,and their slave sta- tus was not necessarily inherited.”我们知道,非洲当地的奴隶拥有明确的权利,而且他们的奴隶身份不一定是世袭的,因此,我们可以判断出,奴隶的下一代不一定还是奴隶,B项正确;第一段第一句“For centuries the most valuable of African resources for Europeans were the salves, but these could be obtained at coastal ports.without any need for going deep inland.”告诉我们,运往欧洲的奴隶来自于海港地区,并没有指出非洲本地的奴隶制度只限于海港地区,故C项的表述是错误的;根据第一段倒数第三句 “Slavery in its extreme forms, including the taking of life, was common to both Africa and the West.”我们知道,屠杀奴隶的事件在非洲和西方国家都有发生,故D项的表述是错误的。

    答案:C
    解析:
    本市吸引来的大量新企业对本地经济来说是个好消息,但办公空间不足是市长急需解决的问题。横线处应选择适当的名词。However是转折连词,因此横线处应填入与vast number含义相反的名词。故正确答案为C。
