Utopia is a perfect place. It is a place without war, hunger, poverty, or crime. It is a place where the people work together and share. There is no money in Utopia because the people do not need money. They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to everyone. All of the people are equal in Utopia, and the laws are all fair.
Utopia is not a new place. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described a perfect society in his famous dialogue The Republic. In Plato’s Republic, philosophers were the kings, and every person had a place in the society. In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the island "Utopia." In 1872, Samuel Butler wrote a novel about a perfect country which he named "Erehwon": "Utopia" is a Greek word that means "not a place" and "Erehwon" is the English word "nowhere" spelled backwards.
Many people came to the New World to find Utopia. The Shakers, a religious group, wanted to live like the first Christians. The Shakers started their first community in New York in 1776. George Rapp, a German farmer, came to the United States in 1804 to start a Utopian community. In 1815, Rapp and his followers bought land for their community in Harmony, Indiana, and they made the things they needed with machines. In 1824, they sold the community to Robert Owen, who started the Utopian community of New Harmony there. In New Harmony, everything belonged to everyone and men and women were equal, but New Harmony lasted only two years. Then Francis Wright began Nashoba, a community where white people and black people could live and work together, near Memphis, Tennessee. Nashoba lasted from 1825 to 1830. A group of intellectuals founded Brook Farm, a Utopian farming community, in 1841. However, they did not have many farming skills, so the farm closed in 1847. Four years later, Josiah Warren set up Modern Times, an anarchist community near New York City. It closed in 1857.
Utopia is a perfect place, but it is not a real place. Most "real" Utopias last only a short time. This is because everyone wants to live in Utopia, but no one knows how to make it work. As a result, when we say something is "Utopian" today, we mean that it is a good idea, but it is not realistic. [br] It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ______.
选项
A、Utopia is a word created by Thomas More
B、Utopia has the same concept as "Erehwon"
C、Thomas More named the island "Utopia" because he was Greek
D、the characteristics of Utopia were first mentioned in The Republic
答案
B
解析
从第2段末句可以知道utopia和Erehwon都具有“非真实存在之地”的意思,因此B的说法正确,为本题答案。原文该段第4句虽然提到Thomas More将小说里面的小岛命名为Utopia,但根据该段末句可以知道,utopia最早是一个希腊语词,可见Thomas More并非创造该词的第一人,因此A不正确;文章并无提及Thomas More的国籍,因此C的说法没有依据;虽然原文该段首段提到了帕拉图对乌托邦的描述.但这并不足以证明帕拉图是首位描述乌托邦的人,因此D也不正确。
