Bernard Bailyn has recently reinterpreted the early history of the United States by applying new social research findings on the experiences of European migrants.In his reinterpretation,migration becomes the organizing principle for rewriting the history of preindustrial North America.His approach rests on four separate propositions.

The first of these asserts that residents of early modern England moved regularly about their countryside;migrating to the New World was simply a“natural spillover”.Although at first the colonies held little positive attraction for the English--They would rather have stayed home—by the eighteenth century people increasingly migrated to America because they regarded it as the land of opportunity.

Secondly,Bailyn holds that,contrary to the notion that used to flourish in America history textbooks,there was never a typical New World community.For example,the economic and demographic character of early New England towns varied considerably.

Bailyn’s third proposition suggests two general patterns prevailing among the many thousands of migrants:one group came as indentured servants,another came to acquire land.Surprisingly,Bailyn suggests that those who recruited indentured servants were the driving forces of transatlantic migration.

These colonial entrepreneurs helped determine the social character of people who came to preindustrial North America.At first,thousands of unskilled laborers were recruited;by the 1730’s,however,American employers demanded skilled artisans.

Finally,Bailyn argues that the colonies were a half-civilized hinterland of the European culture system.He is undoubtedly correct to insist that the colonies were part of an Anglo—American empire.

But to divide the empire into English core and colonial periphery,as Bailyn does,devalues the achievements of colonial culture.It is true.as Bailyn claims that high culture in the colonies never matched that in England.But what of seventeenth—century New England,where the settlers created effective laws,built a distinguished university,and published books?Bailyn might respond that New England was exceptional. However,the ideas and institutions developed by New England Puritans had powerful effects on North American culture.

Although Bailyn goes on to apply his approach to some thousands of indentured servants who migrated just prior to the revolution,he fails to link their experience with the political development of the United States.Evidence presented in his work suggests how we might make such a connection.These indentured servants were treated as slaves for the period during which they had sold their time to American employers.It is not surprising that as soon as they served their time they passed up good wages in the cities and headed west to ensure their personal independence by acquiring land.Thus,it is in the west that a peculiarly American political culture began,among colonists who were suspicious of authority and intensely anti—aristocratic.

According to the text,Bailyn and the author agree on which of the following statements about the culture of colonial New England?

  • A.High culture in New England never equaled the high culture of England
  • B.The cultural achievements of colonial New England have generally been unrecognized by historians
  • C.The colonists imitated the high culture of England,and did not develop a culture that was uniquely their own
  • D.The southern colonies were greatly influenced by the high culture of New England

答案: A
本题解析:

细节理解题。由第四段第四句话可知,作者和Bailyn都认为殖民地的高雅文化和英国的高雅文化不一致,由此选A。

阅读下列材料内容,根据课程标准要求,写出教学内容的教学难点及理由(9分),并设计突破这一难题的教学策略。(17分)

世界上一切事物都包含着既相互对立.又相互统一的两个方面。矛盾就是反映事物内部对立统一关系的哲学范畴。简言之,矛盾就是对立统一。矛盾的对立属性是斗争性,矛盾的统一属性是同一性。它们是矛盾所固有的相反相成的两种基本属性。

矛盾的统一性,是矛盾双方相互吸引,相互联结的属性和趋势,它有两方面的含义:一是矛盾双方相互依赖,一方的存在以另一方的存在为前提,双方共处于一个统一体中;二是矛盾双方相互贯通,即相互渗透,相互包含,在一定条件下相互转化。

矛盾的斗争性,是矛盾双方相互排斥、相互对立的属性。它体现着对立双方相互分离的倾向和趋势。

同一性以差别和对立为前提。没有斗争性,就没有矛盾双方的相互依存和相互贯通,事物就不能存在和发展。斗争性寓于同一性之中,并为同一性所制约,没有同一性,就没有矛盾统一体的存在,事物同样不能存在和发展。矛盾双方既对立又统一,由此推动了事物的运动、变化和发展。

——摘自人民教育出版社普通高中课程标准实验教科书《思想政治必修4——生活与哲学》“矛盾的同一性和斗争性”。

下面是某校高二年级一道学业水平考试的模拟试题及答案要点。

人类离不开海洋,离不开资源丰富的家园,随着人们对海洋资源的肆意开发和狂捕滥捞,近海渔业资源急剧衰竭。浙江象山21名渔老大通过电子邮件和漂流瓶,向联合国和21个滨海国家元首呼吁每年在鱼类产卵和繁殖的高峰季节禁止捕鱼,并向世界渔民发出“蓝色保护志愿者”行动倡议。渔老大的呼吁和倡议,折射出政治、经济、哲学等多方面问题。结合上述材料,以“从渔老大的呼吁看……”为题,分别从《经济生活》《政治生活》《生活与哲学》的角度拟一个课题.并说明理由。

【答案要点】

(1)从渔老大的呼吁看国家宏观调控的必要性。市场调节具有自发性、盲目性和滞后性特点。在近海渔业资源急剧衰竭的背景下,需要国家规定相应的禁渔期以增加渔业资源的发展量。

(2)从渔老大的呼吁看,国家必须增加社会主义法制建设。国家应制定渔业生产法规,以规范渔民与捕捞行为。

(3)从渔老大的呼吁看,必须正确处理尊重客观规律和发挥主观能动性的关系。如果在鱼类产卵和繁殖高峰期捕鱼,势必影响今后的渔业生产。(其他答案,可根据是否与题目具有相关性以及所运用知识的合理性酌情给分)
