问题 单项选择题

Tuning in round the clock, via satellite or internet blog, to any bout of mayhem anywhere, you might not think the world was becoming a more peaceable place. But in some ways it is, and measurably so. A recent Human Security Report released by the Liu Institute at the University of British Columbia registers a 40% drop in the number of armed conflicts between 1992 and 2003, with the worst wars, those claiming more than a thousand lives in battle, down by 80%. While 28 armed struggles for self-determination ignited or reignited between 1991 and 2004, an encouraging 43 others were contained or doused.

Yet measured in a different way, from the point of view of the half of the world’s population that is female, argues the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of the Armed Forces, the world is an awfully violent place, and not just in its war zones. Men still fill most of the body bags in wartime, including in civil wars, even on DCAF’s figures, but their sisters, mothers, wives and daughters, it argues in a new report entitled "Women in an Insecure World", face nothing short of a "hidden gendercide".

Violence against women is nothing new. DCAF’s contribution is to collate the many figures and estimates—not all of them easily verifiable, it has to be said—on everything from infanticide to rape (in both war and peace), dowry deaths, sex trafficking and domestic violence (in richer countries as well as poorer ones).

According to one UN estimate cited by DCAF, between 113m and 200m women are now demographically "missing". This gender gap is a result of the aborting of girl foetuses and infanticide in countries where boys are preferred; lack of food and medical attention that goes instead to brothers, fathers, husbands and sons; so-called "honour killings" and dowry deaths; and other sorts of domestic violence. It implies that each year between 1.5m and 3m women and girls are lost to gender-based violence. In other words, every two to four years the world looks away from a victim count on the scale of Hitler’s Holocaust. Women between the ages of 15 and 44 are more likely to be maimed or die from violence inflicted one way or another by their menfolk than through cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war combined. Poor health care means that 600,000 women are lost each year to childbirth (a toll roughly equal annually to that of the Rwandan genocide). The World Health Organisation estimates that 6,000 girls a day (more than 2m a year), mostly in the poor world, undergo genital mutilation. Other WHO figures suggest that, around the world, one woman in five is likely to be a victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime.

Hitler’s Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide are mentioned in the text with the aim to()

A. provide a concrete concept of the statistics related to gender-based violence and poor health care

B. exemplify the inhumane action conducted by German Nazi during World War Ⅱ

C. count the victims who are now demographically "missing"

D. take into the account women who are more liable to be maimed or die from violence

答案

参考答案:A

解析:

[考点解析] 这是一道细节题,测试考生识别具体例证在原文中的功能和作用的能力。本题的答案信息来源在第四段的尾句和尾段的第二句。作者运用第四段尾句中的“Hitler’s Holocaust”来具体地描述死于有关暴力的女性人数;作者运用尾段中的“the Rwandan genocide”来具体刻画由于贫乏的医疗死于生产的女性人数。由此可以推断本题的正确选项是A“provide a concrete concept of the statistics related to gender-based violence and poor health care”(提供有关性暴力和落后医疗的数字的具体概念)。

材料一我国陶瓷业的发展有着悠久的历史。从目前所知的考古材料来看,我国的陶瓷发展至少有一万多年的历史。经过三国、两晋、南北朝和隋代共三百多年的发展,到唐朝时期,我国制瓷业的发展迎来了高峰时期,邢窑白瓷“类银类雪”,越窑青瓷“类玉类冰”两大窑系举世闻名。到了宋代,我国瓷器业出现了百花齐放、百花争艳的局面。汝、官、哥、定、钧五大名窑的产品风格独特,各领风骚。元明清时期,我国陶瓷业进一步发展,特别是清朝康乾盛世时期,我国陶瓷业的发展臻于鼎盛,青花瓷、孔雀绿、紫金釉、珐琅彩瓷等都是这一时期的成功之作,闻名于世。

材料二中华文明是在中国大地上产生的文明,也是同其他文明不断交流借鉴而形成的文明。汉代张骞两次出使西域,向西域传播了中华文化,也引进了葡萄、芝麻等西域文化成果。唐代中国通使交好的国家多达70多个,促进了中华文化远播世界,也促进了各国文化和物产传入中国。明代郑和七次远洋航海,留下了中国同沿途各国人民友好交往的佳话。明末清初,欧洲的天文学、医学等知识纷纷传入中国,开阔了中国人的知识视野。之后,中外文明交流互鉴更是频繁展开,这其中有冲突、矛盾、疑惑、拒绝,但更多的是学习、消化、融合、创新。

结合材料一,分析说明我国古代瓷器艺术的发展体现的中华文化的特征。
