问题 选择题

“没有人愿意用抽签的方法雇佣一位舵手和建筑师、吹笛手或其他行业的人,而这类事若出错的话,危害还比在管理国家事务上出错轻得多。”苏格拉底的上述观点反映他

A.反对直接民主制度

B.要求哲学家管理国家

C.赞扬君主专制制度

D.用人要做到人尽其才

答案

答案:A

题目分析:材料的意思是即使是舵手、建筑师这样的职位也不会请一个没有相关知识的人来做,更何况是管理国家呢?反映了苏格拉底对抽签选举为代表的直接民主的不满,要求有专业管理经验的人来管理国家。故选A。BC说法错误,苏格拉底并不反对民主制,只是反对直接民主制。D项与材料意思明显不符。

点评:雅典民主制是考试的重点。雅典的民主制是直接的民主制,国家管理人员用抽签的方式来选出,带有很大的弊端。与此同时苏格拉底的哲学观点也需要掌握。

单项选择题

The fact that most Americans live in urban areas does not mean that they reside in the center of large cities. In fact, more Americans live in the suburbs of large metropolitan areas than in the cities themselves.
The Bureau of the Census regards any area with more than 2,500 people as an urban area, and does not consider boundaries of cities and suburbs.
According to the Bureau, the political boundaries are less significant than the social and economic relationships and the transportation and communication systems that integrate a locale. The term used by the Bureau for an integrated metropolis is an MSA, which stands for Metropolitan Statistical Area. In general, an MSA is any area that contains a city and its surrounding suburbs and has a total population of 50,000 or more.
At the present time, the Bureau reports more than 280 MSAs, which together account for 75 percent of the U.S. population. In addition, the Bureau recognizes 18 megapolises, that is, continuous adjacent metropolitan areas. One of the most obvious megapolises includes a chain of hundreds of cities and suburbs across 10 states on the East Coast from Massachusetts to Virginia, including Boston, New York, and Washington D. C. In the Eastern Corridor, as it is called, a population of 45 million inhabitants is concentrated. Another megapolis that is growing rapidly is the California coast from San Francisco through Los Angeles to San Diego.

The underlined word "reside" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A.fill

B.decide

C.occupy

D.live
