Whereas Greece had grown from scores of scattered cities, Rome grew from one single organism. While the Greek world had expanded along the Mediterranean seas lanes, the Roman world was assembled by territorial conquest. Of course, the contrast is not quite so stark: in Alexander the Great the Greeks had found the greatest territorial conqueror of all time; and the Romans, once they moved outside Italy, did not fail to learn the lessons of sea power. Yet the essential difference is undeniable. The Key to the Greek world lay in its high-powered ships; the key to Roman power lay in its marching legions. The Greeks were wedded to the sea; the Romans, to the land. The Greek was a sailor at heart; the Roman, a landsman.  


1.
According to paragraph 2, which of the following was NOT characteristic of Rome’s early development?
○Expansion by sea invasion
○Territorial expansion

○Expansion from one original settlement
○Expansion through invading armies

and the Romans, once they moved outside Italy, did not fail to learn the lessons of sea power. 这句话文勇翻译的是  罗马人虽曾一度迁移到意大利之外，但他们却没有学会利用海洋的力量。


我怎么觉得是学会了利用海洋呢


选A的话是不是因为他们学会了海洋，但是没有利用还有invasion呢

A肯定是错的，题干是问你哪一项不是早期罗马的特点，A说是通过海洋入侵进行扩张，这明显是希腊的特点。君不见此段最后所说The Key to the Greek world lay in its high-powered ships; the key to Roman power lay in its marching legions. The Greeks were wedded to the sea; the Romans, to the land. The Greek was a sailor at heart; the Roman, a landsman.  看清楚，您就明白了。其余B、C、D明显都是正确的。

翻译有误：fail to是未能。。。的意思。did not fail to是并不是没有学会海洋力量的教训。
这就说明Rome在sea power上面薄弱。

另外楼上说得很对，有时未必较真，看段落主旨做题是根本啊！

否定事实信息题，意味着选项中有三个能够从原文中直接定位并paraphrase，排除法：B=the Roman world was assembled by territorial conquest;C=Rome grew from one single organism;D=the key to Roman power lay in its marching legions.
文中前面在说罗马与希腊的对比，希腊沿着海进行扩张，罗马通过陆地扩张。接着说 the contrast is not quite so stark，对比也不是特别明显，希腊的亚历山大大帝开疆辟土创立马其顿帝国的最繁荣时期，而罗马人有时候也去海战，只不过受到一些挫折（重点在于与前面内容对比，罗马陆战很强，也有海战）。罗马统一意大利半岛之后，与海军很强大的迦太基之间的战斗，初期罗马受制，中期使用了乌鸦舰船（海战中，类似吊桥的装置，使得敌我舰船联系在一起，从而使罗马士兵冲到对方舰船进行作战），大败迦太基， learn the lessons 指的是公元前255年，罗马军队在攻打迦太基城未果的情况下，撤回本土的途中遭遇罕见的风暴，280艘战舰，2万5千名士兵和7万划桨手全军覆没。
A。说通过海战进行扩张，但文中只描述有海战，但受挫。意味不同
