根据下列文章,请回答题。Text 2
Everyone of us lives and works on a small part of the earth's surface, moves in a small circle,and of these acquaintances knows only a few intimately. Of any public event that has wide effects we see at best only a phase and an aspect. This is true that the eminent insiders, who draft treaties,make laws, and issue orders, are like those who have treaties framed on them, laws promulgated to them, orders given at them. Inevitably our opinions cover a bigger space, a longer reach of time,many things, that we can directly observe. So they have to be pieced together out of what others have reported and what we can imagine. Yet even the eyewitness does not bring back a naive picture of the scene. For experience seems to show that he himself brings something to the scene which later he takes away from it, that oftener than not what he imagines to be the account of an event is really a transfiguration of it. Few facts in consciousness seem to be merely given. Most facts in consciousness seem to be partly made. A report is the joint product of the knower and known,in which the role of the observer is always selective and usually creative. The facts we see depend on where we are placed, and the habits of our eyes.The limited time and space which man occupies suggest, according to the paragraph,_____
A.man's life is also insignifican
B.man's opinions can not be accurate at al
C.human observations in general are all but partia
D.man cannot have any opinio
参考答案
C
答案解析
我们每个人都生活和工作在地球表面很小的一部分上,只在一个小圈子里转,只熟悉认识的人中的几个。对于那些影响深远的大事,我们至多只了解一个阶段或一个方面。这不仅对那些被条约、法律和号令所限制的对象来说是如此,对那些了不起的起草条约、制定法律和发布命令的知情人也是如此。我们的观点,难免要涉及更广阔的空间、更久远的时间以及许多我们不能直接观察的许多事物。所以它们只能是别人所说的话和我们的想像的拼接。但是即使是目击者也不能重现真实的场景。因为经验表明他自己会往里添加一些东西,后来又把它去掉;往往是他认为他在真实地描述事件,其实事件已被他美化了。意识中的事实似乎很少只保留原来的样子。大多数事实中似乎都有后来加上的部分。一份报告是认识者和被认识者共同作用的产物,其中的观察者总是有选择性的,并且通常是有创造性的。我们看到什么样的事实取决于我们所处的位置和我们的视角的习惯。
