问题 单项选择题

“通俗历史热”是商品经济和文化教育发展到一定程度后定会出现的一种现象。实际上通俗历史并非“新生事物”,它以讲说形式流传的历史已经相当久远了。一般情况下,这种历史的口头讲说是以十分平静的方式存在于民众的日常生活之中的,很少“走热”。但是,当商品经济趋于发达、文化教育发展迅速的时候,人们在从事赖以谋生的职业活动之外,带有文化色彩的业余需求会随之增长,对作为文化存在常见形态之一的历史知识,其“求解”欲望趋于强烈,那些久远的尘封旧事引起了人们日益浓厚的兴趣。这使通俗历史在当下有了“升温”的沃土,其“历史的惯性”开始充分显现出来。客观地说,对于广大民众而言,在古奥难懂的传统史著和“学术模式”的现代史书皆难“卒读”的情况下,通俗化的历史几乎成为他们“探寻过去”的唯一选择。

下列关于“通俗历史热”在当今出现的原因的表述,不正确的一项是()。

A.通俗历史以十分平静的讲说形式广泛流行于民间的历史已相当久远了

B.市场经济和文化教育的迅速发展促使人们对业余文化的需求显著增长

C.人们对久远的尘封旧事兴趣日益浓厚,对历史的“求解”欲望趋于强烈

D.古奥难懂的传统史著和“学术模式”的现代史书,让广大民众难以“卒读”

答案

参考答案:A

解析:

本题是要求选出不能作为“通俗历史热”在当今出现的原因的选项,只要抓住题干的意思,A项所陈说的“历史相当久远”很显然不能作为当今流行的原因。

     Most American kids love Halloween treats, but a bucket of Halloween candy can be a dentist's

nightmare. Some parents try to get rid of half of the candy after their children go to bed, but dentists

say parents also need to separate the good kinds of treats from the bad ones.

     It is not exactly what a child eats that truly matters, but how much time it stays in his mouth.

According to pediatric dentist Dr. Kaneta Lott, the most damaging stuff is something that is sticky or

very hard and thus stays in the mouth for a long time.This is because we all have bacteria in our mouths.

When we eat, the bacteria take our food as their food and produce an acid that destroys the surface

of the teeth, causing cavities to form. The longer the food stays in the mouth, the more likely cavities

will develop. Therefore, potato chips are worse than candy because they get stuck between teeth. For

the same reason, raisins and crackers are not the best choice. Hard candies take a long time to

consume and are also a bad choice for Halloween treats.

     If children really love candy, dentists recommend that they eat chocolate instead. Unlike hard

candies, chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth.Besides, chocolate contains tannins, which help to

kill some of the bacteria in the mouth.But no matter what a child eats, brushing after each meal is still

the best way to fight cavities.
