问题 单项选择题

一学者这样评价某国政治制度演进:“较少的腥风血雨,较少的声色惧厉,较少的深思高论,只有一路随和,一路感觉,顺着经验走,绕着障碍走,怎么消耗少,怎么发展快就怎么走,……温和中包含着刚健,渐进中累积着进步。”他评价的是近代的哪个国家的政治制度的建立()

A.英国

B.德国

C.美国

D.法国

答案

参考答案:A

解析:

分析题干所描述的这种演进特点,再联系所学史实,德国经过了三次王朝战争,美国经过了激烈的独立战争,法国经过了巴黎人民三次大起义,才确立了资本主义政治制度。所以都不符合题干所描述的特点。只有英国经历了温和的“光荣革命”,确立了资本主义政治制度,所以答案为A。

考点:近代西方资本主义政治制度的确立与发展

点评:此题难度中等,解题关键是准确理解题干所述这种政治制度的演进特点,再在熟练掌握基础知识的前提下,分析各个选项。

There are warm tropical regions all over the globe, but only the Indians of the South American rain forests have formed the habit of sleeping in the open air. Long before they made painful acquaintance (相识) with Europeans, they had invented something that was unique on earth: the hammock.

Nobody really knows who first had the bright idea of making sleeping in the air the symbol of untroubled rest. The Indians see the hammock as a “gift of heaven (上天)”, something given to them a very long time ago.

In it the Indians pass away hot noon hours, napping or chatting. Swinging it to and fro (来回摆动) creates a cooling breath of air and keeps away insects. They work and play in hammocks, are born and die there.

Hung like a suspension bridge between heaven and earth, a hammock is dry while the soil is damp and is safe from most wild animals.

Hammocks have the advantage over beds in that they are easy to transport and take up very little space when they have been rolled up(卷起) . Indians never go on a journey without their hammocks, not even to their plantations.
