问题 综合题

“海上马车夫”这个绰号形象地说明了17世纪的荷兰在商业、航海业和殖民掠夺各方面所拥有的霸权。但是,“海上马车夫”的好景不长。从17世纪中叶,英、荷便在各大海洋展开了海上争霸战。后来,法国也参与进来。法荷战争席卷了荷兰本土,最终以荷兰的惨败而告终。荷兰从此一蹶不振。

请思考:17世纪的荷兰是怎样对外扩张的?

答案

17世纪上半叶是荷兰海上贸易的黄金时代。荷兰取代西班牙和葡萄牙成为世界头号贸易强国,有“海上马车夫”之称。其贸易范围包括西北欧的海域贸易以及对亚洲的远洋贸易和对西方新大陆的贸易。组建大型商业公司是荷兰人在国际竞争中的重要手段。1602年,荷兰东印度公司成立。公司资本主义雄厚,又有政府作为后盾,从而击败了葡萄牙人,垄断了东方的香料贸易。

本题考查荷兰殖民扩张的特点。解答时可联系17世纪荷兰经济发展的特点进行分析。

A.TV’s Influence on Children’s Life

B.Arguments Against Violence on TV

C.TV’s Influence on People’s Leisure Activities

D.The Importance of Violence in Real LifeE. Attraction of Violence on TV

F. TV’s Power

51._____________

Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models for intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually knows something about medicine.

52.________________

People spend most of their time watching TV in their spare time. People spend more time watching videos but less time making music with each other. People in small towns now watch international cable networks instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church or book clubs. When company comes, kids are sent to the TV room with videos.

53____________________

Parents are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the TV, and the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or playing dominoes with his grandfather.

54.________________

The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise ,work, visit our friends, read ,cook, eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detectives and murderers than in the real world .A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence attract viewers” attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.

55_________________

Different people have different opinions. Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and songs. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequence and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increases their fear levels about potential violence.
