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.
Which of the following could be the most appropriate title for the text?
选项
A、The Story of Ms. Zoe Buhler’s Offense
B、The Attitudes Towards Restrictions in the Pandemic
C、The Tension Between Liberty and Security
D、The Restrictions of Different Nations
答案
B
解析
本题是一道主旨大意题,需要对全文的大意做一个概括。在疫情的社会背景下,各个国家都采取了对应的限制令,但是不同国家的公民对于限制自由的态度各不相同。作者通过佐伊.布勒的例子,引出该话题并分别介绍各国公民的具体态度。因此,文章主要描述了疫情期间,不同国家执行了不同的法令,以及不同国家的公民对于自由的限制条令的不同看法与态度。选项B更符合文章主旨内容。选项A中逮捕布勒的内容是在第一段出现的例子,而非全文主旨,排除。选项C“自由和安全的紧张关系”出现在文章的第四段,为玛塞拉.阿尔桑的观点,并非全文主旨,排除。选项D“不同国家的限制令”,属于第三段的主要内容,不能概括全文;排除。
