问题    Robert Menzies was conservative Prime Minister of Australia from 1939 to 1941 and again from 1949 until his retirement in 1966. Menzies provoked a variety of responses during his political career. Views Ⅰ to Ⅳ below summarize some of those responses.
   View Ⅰ The supreme twentieth-century statesman and politician, presiding with ease over the nation, and representing Australia abroad with dignity and aplomb.
   View Ⅱ Authoritarian despite his professed liberal beliefs, he was the enemy of the workers, who stayed in office for seventeen years through a combination of unscrupulous opportunism, remarkable good luck, and the gullibility of the Australian people.    View Ⅲ Menzies imposed the values of a bygone age on Australia, with his devotion to Britain and the British monarchy, and his cautious conservatism. He suppressed a new, creative, energetic generation by cultivating smugness, fear and indifference in the Australia of the 50s and 60s.
   View Ⅳ Downright democratic, something new and different but with an easy-going manner and aggressive independence.
Which one of the Views(Ⅰ--Ⅳ) is most damning about Menzies’ effect on Australia’s cultural identity?
选项 A、Ⅰ
B、Ⅱ
C、Ⅲ
D、Ⅳ
答案C
解析 孟席斯对澳大利亚的文化特征的影响而言，第三种观点最容易导致他身败名裂。根据第三种观点，孟席斯把以往的价值观强加给澳大利亚，忠于英国和英国的郡主制度，他又拘谨，又保守。他压制有创造力的、精力充沛的新一代，在50年代和60年代的澳大利亚培养自满、恐惧和冷漠的情绪。
