Tocqueville, a nineteenth-century writer known for his study of democracy in the United States, believed that a government that centralizes power in one individual or institution is dangerous to its citizens. Biographers claim that Tocqueville disliked-centralized government because he blamed Napoleon’s rule for the poverty of his childhood in Normandy. Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the biographers’ claim?
选项
A、Although Napoleon was popularly blamed at the time for the terrible living conditions in Normandy, historians now know that bad harvests were really to blame for the poor economic conditions.
B、Napoleon was notorious for refusing to share power with any of his political associates.
C、Tocqueville said he knew that if his father had not suffered ill health, his family would have had a steady income and a comfortable standard of living.
D、Although Tocqueville asserted that United States political life was democratic, the United States of the nineteenth century allowed political power to be concentrated in a few institutions.
E、Tocqueville once wrote in a letter that, although his childhood was terribly impoverished, it was not different from the experience of his friends and neighbors in Normandy.
答案
C
解析
本题读题重点是段落最后一句话,且最后一句话中because放在后半部分,表示强调原因A,并暗示A是一个惟一原因。反对思路多为“有他因”。若Tocqueville认为他父亲身体不好导致了他家庭的贫困,正如(C)所说,那么就反对了拿破仑的统治使他的家庭贫困的说法,所以(C)正确。(A)易误选,一般地,有although的句子重点在后半部分,但后半部分仅仅说贫困的经济状况应归因于收成不好,但完全有可能Tocqueville的家庭贫困不是由于收成不好,而是由于拿破仑的统治,因此(A)不对。(E)中涉及的“not different from the experience…”与上面推理无关,因此为无关答案。
