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] Why do students become confused?
选项 A、They can not understand the "fact" about the past.
B、They are confused by their teachers.
C、They find the descriptions and explanations of the same historical events are different from one historian to another.
D、They don’t know that the quite different conclusions may come out from the same event.
答案 C
解析 文中第一段最后两句说：“但是当学生们采用这种方法进行历史学习时，他们会发现历史学家的观点时常是尖锐对立的，这也许会令他们困惑不解。他们发现历史学家在研究同样的事件时也许会得出完全不同的结论。”由此看出，选项C正确。
