Many in the Middle East have difficulty in adjusting themselves to the new situation created by the departure of the imperial powers. For the first time in almost 200 years, the rulers and people of the Middle East have to accept the final responsibility for their own affairs, to make their own mistakes and to accept the consequences. This is difficult to internalize, even to perceive, after so long a period. For the entire lifetimes of those who formulate and conduct policy at the present time and of their predecessors for many generations, vital decisions were made elsewhere, ultimate control lay elsewhere, and the principal task of statesmanship and diplomacy was as far as possible to avoid or reduce the dangers of this situation and to exploit such opportunities as it might from time to time offer. It is very difficult to forsake the habits not just of a lifetime but of a whole era of history. The difficulty is much greater when alien cultural, social and economic preeminence continues and even increases, despite the ending of alien political and military domination.
Military and to a growing extent political intervention by the West has indeed ended, but the impact of its science and culture, its technology, amenities and institutions remains and even increases. As in other parts of the non-Western world, this impact has been and will be enormous. In these circumstances, it is natural that Middle Easterners should continue to assume—and proceed on the assumption—that real responsibility and decision still lie elsewhere. In its crudest form, this belief leads to wild and strange conspiracy theories directed against those whom they regard as their enemies—Israel, and more generally the Jews, the United States, and more generally the West. No theory is too absurd to be asserted or too preposterous to be widely and instantly believed. Even among more responsible statesmen and analysts, a similar belief in alien power, albeit in a less crude form, often seems to guide both analysis and policy. Some even go so far as to invite outside intervention, presumable in the belief that only outside powers have the capacity to make and enforce decisions. A case in point is the constant appeal to the United States to involve itself in the Arab Israel conflict, oddly coupled with the repeated accusation of "American imperialism. " This state of mind is likely to continue for some time, with appeals for support or even intervention to the United States, to Russia and even to the European Union. In time, no doubt, Middle Eastern governments and people will learn how to use this window of opportunity to the best advantage—that is, of course, if the window remains open long enough.
The author implied in the passage that______.
选项
A、it takes time for the Middle Easterners to adjust themselves to the new situation
B、the world will be more peaceful if each country learns to care about its own business
C、most of the unrest in the Middle East is attributable to Israel’s aggressive policies
D、the Western powers should stop interfering with other countries’ affairs
答案
A
解析
本题考查考生根据上下文中的具体细节内容进行理解判断的能力。根据第一段,在中东,对于目前执掌制定和执行时事政策的人以及他们的前辈来说,在他们一生的成长过程中,重大决定都来自于外部(即:由统治他们的外国势力决定),最终的控制权也来自于外部,政治家和外交家的主要任务是尽量避免或减少这种形势的威胁,并利用有时可能出现的机会。抛弃一生或一个历史时代形成的习惯是很难的。当外来文化、社会和经济势力还起着主导作用,甚至还在增加时,这种困难更大,虽然外来的政治和军事控制已经结束。最后一段指出,这种心态要持续一段时间,在这段时间内,他们还会呼吁美国、俄罗斯或欧盟国家支持或干预。因此可以推知选项A为正确答案。
