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.
What is the meaning of the word "fat" in Line 1?
选项
A、Big.
B、Hard.
C、Thick.
D、Well-filled.
答案
C
解析
文中第一段第一句说:“在对历史的学习上大部分学生通常是通过一本fat教科书入门的,随后便沉浸在数不清的名字、日期、事件和统计数字之中。”此处的“fat”只能理解为“thick”的意思,这样才能与原句的“沉浸在……巨大的海洋中”相吻合。
