The passage as a whole can best be characterized as which of the following? [br] Which of the following actions can best be described as indulging in “generational chauvinism” (lines 40-41) as that practice is defined in the passage?
选项
A、Condemning a present-day monarch merely because many monarchs have been tyrannical in the past.
B、Clinging to the formal standards of politeness common in one’s youth to such a degree that any relaxation of those standards is intolerable
C、Questioning the accuracy of a report written by an employee merely because of the employee’s gender.
D、Deriding the superstitions accepted as “science” in past eras without acknowledging the prevalence of irrational beliefs today.
E、Labeling a nineteenth-century politician as “corrupt” for engaging in once-acceptable practices considered intolerable today.
答案
E
解析
The best answer is E. This question requires you to identify a hypothetical situation that exemplifies the concept of “generational chauvinism” as it is defined in the passage. This term is defined in lines 37-41, where the author of the passage criticizes the use of “current standards of racial egalitarianism” to judge the motives of abolitionist White officers serving in Black regiments: “to call their feelings ‘powerful racial prejudices’ is to indulge in generational chauvinism-to judge past eras by present standards.” The last phrase serves to define “generational chauvinism,” a concept exemplified by the situation described in choice E, in which the “one-accepted practices’ of a nineteenth-century politician are labeled as “corrupt.” None of the other options exemplify this “generational chauvinism” as it is defined in the passage.
