Current studies of early modern absolutism—rule by one person with absolute

游客2024-01-10  55
问题     Current studies of early modern absolutism—rule by one person with absolute authority—emphasize continual negotiations between ruler and ruled. The rulers who often staged spectacular displays of their might spent much of their time arranging deals and forestalling opposition, negotiating constantly with nobles and others for acceptance of their rule. The effective ruler was not the one who brusquely subdued opponents, but the one who both avoided antagonizing those opponents who could not be easily subdued and who gradually lured most others into his court with political appointments. The rule of Cosimo I de’ Medici, a sixteenth-century duke of Tuscany, exemplifies this strategy. Beginning from a weak position, Cosimo became one of Europe’s most powerful rulers, founding a dynasty that lasted well beyond his lifetime. [br] Which of the following best describe the purpose of the underlined sentence?
选项 A、It rejects a view of early modern absolutism represented in many current studies.
B、It points to a truth about early modern absolutist ruler that is often overlooked by contemporary scholars.
C、It formulates a method of governing that current scholars see as typical of early modern absolutist rulers.
D、It challenges a view of early modern absolutist rulers for which the author believes there is insufficient evidence.
E、It raises questions about a strategy used by an early modern ruler whom the author regards as having been particularly successful.
答案 B
解析 本题属于功能题，正确答案是标黑体句子的3s版本。根据原文，标黑体句子的3s版本是：作者认为用政治任命来达成的统治方式更有效。既然作者没有反驳当前研究者，那么便只是针对当前研究者的观点进行了补充说明，对应overlook，第一句的emphasize也暗示current studies会忽略一些地方。A、D项作者没有反驳当前研究者的观点，只是两种研究的关注点不同。当前研究强调的是谈判，而作者强调政治任命，认为这才是有效的统治方法，但是并没有否认谈判的存在，选项A、D明显是作者在反驳当前研究者，故排除。C项 “当代学者认为非常典型的早期近代专制统治者的方法”是谈判，与标黑体句子的3s版本不符。E项“作者认为尤其成功的方法”是政治任命，作者是支持这一点的，而非反对。
