悉尼·胡克:《历史中的英雄》:“假如我们给英雄下这样一个定义:英雄就是具有事变创造性并且能够重新决定历史进程的某些人,那么,紧跟着下一步的推论应该是:一个民主的社会对于英雄人物必须永远加以提防……因为天才和能力时常会被滥用。”古代希腊提防英雄人物的关键措施是

A.设立公民大会

B.成立五百人议事会

C.实行陶片放逐法

D.轮流执政;抽签选举

答案

答案:C

题目分析:克利斯提尼改革中对于某些别有企图的 野心家,制定了“陶片放逐法”。公民可以在陶片上写上那些不受欢迎的 人的名字,并通过投票表决将他们予以政治放逐。A项公民大会是 国家最高权力机构;五百人议事会在公民大会闭会期间负责处理大部分城邦政务;轮 流执政和抽签选举不涉及提防英雄人物、野心家。 因此选C。

     In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages.

(3) Bicycles have long played an important part in the liyes of American young people. But today an even

greater number of adults cycle along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to

become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy.

     This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With all these added people on

the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance.

     Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they

will not be badly hurt. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow, especially when riding on

streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic,nor should they carry other people on

their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to walk bicycles across the

busy intersections (交叉路口). (4) By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also

be safe.

     In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in

highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash

helmets (头盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (伤者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down.

Today, more and more riders realize the dangers of bicycling. They are wearing helmets and paying closer

attention to cycling rules.
