Zoe Buhler was scheduled for an ultrasound appointment on the September morning when Australian police entered her home. The pregnant mother was handcuffed in front of her partner and two children. Ms. Buhler’s offense? She’d posted a message on Facebook detailing an upcoming peaceful protest in Melbourne against strict pandemic lockdowns. Authorities in the state of Victoria charged Ms. Buhler with "stirring up" because, they say, protests are unsafe and undermine public health measures.
"During the time of the pandemic, obviously the state can take certain measures to restrict civil liberties, but it’s very important that those measures are necessary, lawful, and proportionate," says Elaine Pearson, the Australia director at Human Rights Watch, based in Sydney. "It was neither necessary nor proportionate to arrest her in that fashion."
From Australia to Zimbabwe, almost every nation in the world passed restrictions during the pandemic. The wide spectrum of measures varied from country to country—and often within different jurisdictions within nations. Freedom of movement was restricted by various rules for curfews, travel, and public and private assembly. Some countries cracked down on speech and press freedoms. Others bypassed privacy in favor of track-and-trace measures and digital surveillance of those under quarantine.
"That tension is long-standing, liberty versus security. Are they complements or substitutes?" says Marcella Alsan, professor of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School, who studies public health and infectious diseases. "What’s interesting about the current situation, and particularly prior to the development of the vaccines—when all countries basically have these nonpharmaceutical interventions—was basically, How willing were people to go along with these restrictions? What were they willing to sacrifice and what were they not willing to sacrifice?"
Alsan co-authored a November study that surveyed over 400,000 people across 15 nations about their attitudes toward civil liberties during the pandemic. More than 80% were agreeable to giving up some freedoms during a crisis. A closer look at the results, however, reveals gradations between citizens of different nations. Those surveyed in the United States and Japan were far less willing to relax privacy protections, sacrifice the freedom of press, and endure economic losses. Respondents in India, Singapore, and South Korea were more willing to suspend democratic procedures for the sake of public health. Citizens in European countries occupied a middle ground between those two poles.
We can learn from Paragraph 3 that, during the pandemic, some nations________.
选项
A、support freedom of speech
B、bypass different restrictions
C、approve digital supervision
D、overlook private assembly
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词Paragraph 3和some nations定位至第三段。第三段介绍了各国为了应对疫情采取的不同限制措施。末句提到,一些国家则忽视个人隐私,对被隔离者采取追踪措施和电子监控(Others bypassed privacy in favor of track-and-trace measures and digital surveillance of those under quarantine)。C项approve digital supervision (赞成电子监控)与原文表意一致,故为正确答案。第三段倒数第二句提到“一些国家镇压言论和新闻自由(Some countries cracked down on speech and press freedoms. )”,故A项support freedom of speech (支持言论自由)排除。第三段首句提到“世界上几乎每个国家都在疫情期间颁布了限制令(…almost every nation in the world passed restrictions during the pandemic)”,而后第二句又提到“而且往往在各国的不同司法管辖区内,采取的措施也各不相同(…measures varied from country to country—and often within different jurisdictions within nations)”,而非不采取针对疫情的限制令,故B项bypass different restrictions(避开不同的限制令)排除。第三段第三句提到“行动自由受到宵禁、旅行、公共和私人集会等各种规定的限制(Freedom of movement was restricted by various rules for curfews, travel, and public and private assembly)”,所以D项overlook private assembly(忽视私人集会)表述与原文内容不一致,故排除。
