问题 单项选择题

英国国王乔治三世统治时期(1760—1820年)“国王的政治优势已牢固地建立起来,他的意志就是对大臣的法律,而大臣在议会两院中都拥有压倒多数……人民与议会的争端消失了,这是一个政治上的冷漠时期。权力平衡的重心,在沃波尔内阁时,是由上院滑下下院,现在却是从议会滑向君主”。(选自《美国政治史》)材料不能反映出当时的英国()

A.君主重新成为国家权力重心

B.君主立宪制尚未确立

C.议会和君主进行权力的博弈

D.责任内阁名存实亡

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

根据材料分析,在乔治三世时期,国王重新加强了权力,故A正确;1689年通过的《权利法案》标志着英国君主立宪制已经确立,故B错误。材料体现的是议会与君主之间在额博弈,责任内阁制在这个时期名存实亡,因此CD正确。故选B

考点:英国君主立宪制

点评:1689年君主立宪制确立后,国王与议会的斗争并没有结束。材料即体现的这一点。与此相关的知识点如君主立宪制的发展历程、君主立宪制的特点等也需要掌握。

A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飞行员) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.

He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested.”

Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman.But his reply was even ruder.

“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbors’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.

(a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in.I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight.A stewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.

(b) “I’ve never seen such an unpleasant letter.” She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again.” But there was a funny side.Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free (免税) cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”

(c) Mr.Ferriday went on: “Believe me, you haven’t.Especially when you travel on my planes.”

Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal.But they were not told of the company’s no smoking policy.

(d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen.“He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.”

Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.
