问题     Most students are usually introduced to the study of history by way of a fat textbook and become quickly immersed in a vast sea of names, dates, events, and statistics. The students’ skills are then tested by examinations that require them to show how much of the data they remember. From this experience a number of conclusions seem obvious; the study of history is the study of "facts" about the past; the more "facts" you know, the better you are as a student of history. But in this way students may become confused upon discovering that historians often disagree sharply. They discover that historians dealing with the same event may come to quite different conclusions about it.
    Obviously, there is no easy solution to this problem. Historians disagree because each historian views the past from a particular perspective. Once students grasp this, they have taken the first step toward being able to evaluate the work of various historians. But before they can take this first step, students must consider a problem they have more or less taken for granted. They must ask themselves what history really is.
    The word history has several meanings. In its broadest sense, it denotes the whole of the human past. More restricted is the notion that history is the recorded past, that is, that part of human life which has left some sort of record such as folk tales, artifacts, or written documents. Finally, history may be defined as that which historians write about the past. [br] Which of the following statements is NOT perfectly true?
选项 A、There is no way to solve the problem of disagreements among historians.
B、If the students want to evaluate the work of various historians, they should first know what history really is.
C、History is of course written by historians.
D、The concept of history in students’ mind is different from that in historians’ mind.
答案 C
解析 在文中，作者是这样展开论述的：大部分学生学习历史就是记住历史“事实”，然而在对待这些“事实”上，历史学家却有各自不同的理解和解释，因为他们各自的视角和历史观都是不同的，但学生们会为此困惑不解的。因此，要想真正弄清历史，学生们必须问自己历史究竟是什么。选项A、B、D都符合文章的内容，唯有选项C文中没有提及。
