If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same on history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.
Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call "remembered history." Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.
Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage?
选项
A、Remembered history, compared with written history, is less reliable.
B、Written records of the past plays an important role in learning human history.
C、A written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questions.
D、Where there are no written records, there is no history.
答案
D
解析
根据文章最后一段倒数第二句“It is not so exact or so valuable to us as writtenhistory is,because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech thanwhen copied in writing.”可知,对于我们来说“记忆中的历史”并不像文字记录的历史那样确切和宝贵,因为语言中的文字在不断的使用中比抄写的文字更容易发生变化。所以,A选项正确;根据文章第二段前两句“It is the same on history.Many things have been forgottenbecause we do not have any written account of them.”可知,历史也是一样。由于我们没有文字记录,许多事情已经被遗忘了。所以,B选项正确;根据文章第一段可知,我们可能不记得一年前的自己做过什么事情了,但是如果能用一个本子记录每天发生的事,我们就可以回答这个问题了。所以,C选项正确;D项说“没有文字记录就没有历史”,文章中一方面强调文字记录对于历史的重要性,另一方面也肯定了口述历史的作用。所以,D项的说法不正确。据此判断,本题选D。
