The biggest demonstration in a generation is being assembled by mobilizing the power of the web, which allows anti-war groups to rally multitudes at the click of a mouse. Cornish speakers for peace can share ideas by e-mail with Rhodes Scholars Against the War while taking into account the sensitivities of the Young Muslim Sisters. Footsore ban-the-bomb veterans such as Tony Myers of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, busily preparing yesterday for the mass protest, can only marvel at the power of the net.
"It’s made a massive difference," he said. "Back in the 1980s when we were trying to organize huge demos it was all about going to meetings and sending mail to regional people. I was a volunteer before the 1983 demonstration which attracted 400,000 marchers. The office was just awash with people printing things on old duplicators. People today feel more like they are part of a big movement. In the 1980s, we would read about demos all over the world a few days later in the newspapers. Now you know all the details in advance if you are on the e-mail list. The Stop the War Coalition needs only a handful of headquarters staff because the website is a virtual campaign group in itself, complete with briefings, news, addresses and artwork.
Children’s superior mastery of the internet is reflected in the proliferation of youth groups opposing war. The Woodcraft Folk (a sort of pacifist version of the Scouts) announce that they will be bringing an orange parachute on the march. The Engels-Marx Communist Party (slogan "Resist and Revolt") is a group of pupils at a Leicester comprehensive school opposing the war. The entire country is covered from the Aberdeen Students Against War Society to Torbay Stop the War group.
Anti-war campaigners put leaflets, maps, posters and petitions on their websites for supporters to print, stick in their window or hand out at the march. Stop the War Coalition includes a direct- debit form which supporters can download and send to their bank manager to make donations.
Message boards are filled with anti-war protesters arguing their case. The issue is being exploited by the British National Party, which has posted a self-serving press release proclaiming support for the march because of their concerns over "the power of the Israeli lobby". Anti-war individuals have been e-mailing friends with songs for the march, one to the tune of If You’re Happy and You Know It. The internet was created in the 1960s partly by the Advanced Research Project Agency of the US Department of Defense. It is widely said to have been created in order to send military messages after an atomic war.
We can know from the passage that in the 1980s, ______.
选项
A、it was impossible to organize any demonstration of large scale at all
B、people at that time did not feel that they were a part of any big movement
C、all the people involved in the organizing work were volunteers
D、reports about demonstrations can only be read several days after
答案
D
解析
推论题;根据题目中的定位信息,我们用1980s来从原文的第二段寻找相关信息,可以发现这一段对20世纪80年代时抗议战争者之间进行的联系和目前的情况进行了比较。作者的目的和第一题所论述的一样,是为了证明互联网使得反战的抗议活动组织起来更加方便,结合4个选项,A选项的表述过于绝对,而作者本人作为“volunteer”出现的抗议活动就可以将A选项的说法推翻。B选项的说法来自原文的“People today feel more like they are part of a big movement”,但据此推出20世纪80年代的人就没有这种感受是没有逻辑上的依据的。C选项也是把作者本人作为“volunteer”的事实扩大为所有人都是“volunteer”的表述,也是错误的。D选项的表达和原文中“In the 1980s,we would read about demos all over the world a few days later in the newspapers”一致,是正确答案。
