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.
It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.
选项
A、people in the US reluctantly yield their rights
B、European people are agreeable to freedom sacrifices
C、people in Singapore stick to democratic procedures
D、people in Japan are indifferent to economic losses
答案
A
解析
根据题干关键词last paragraph定位至文章最后一段。最后一段主要讲了在阿尔桑的研究中,不同国家的公民在疫情期间对于自由的态度。美国和日本的受访者更不愿意放松隐私保护、牺牲新闻自由和承受经济损失(…far less willing to relax privacy protections, sacrifice the freedom of press, and endure economic losses),所以面对限制令,只能被迫接受。选项A“美国人民不情愿放弃自己的权利”与原文表述一致。在阿尔桑的研究中,欧洲国家的公民对于自由保持中间态度(middle ground),而并非乐于牺牲自由,故选项B排除。新加坡的受访者更愿意为了公共健康而暂停民主程序(…suspend democratic procedures for the sake of public heath),并非坚持遵循民主程序,故排除选项C。日本的受访者更不愿意放松隐私保护、牺牲新闻自由和承受经济损失,并非对于经济损失漠不关心,故排除选项D。
