Paragraph 4 Modern attitudes to Roman civilization range from the infinitely impressed to the thorough disgusted. As always, there are the power worshippers, especially among historians, who are predisposed to admire whatever is strong, who feel more attracted to the might of Rome than to the subtlety of Greece. At the same time, there is a solid body of opinion that dislikes Rome. For many, Rome is at best the imitator and the continuator of Greece on a larger scale. Greek civilization had quality; Rome, mere quantity. Greece was the inventor; Rome, the research and development division. Such indeed was the opinion of some of the more intellectual Romans.” had the Greeks held novelty in such disdain as we,” asked Horace in his Epistle, “what work of ancient date would now exist?”

选C。  
答案出自下面这几句。
For many, Rome is at best the imitator and the continuator of Greece on a larger scale. Greek civilization had quality;Greece was the inventor.
had the Greeks held novelty in such disdain as we,” asked Horace in his Epistle, “what work of ancient date would now exist?”
整个态度就是对GREECE的赞扬，对Rome呈负态度。what work of ancient date would now exist.可以看出 Rome的not memorable.

2# gamy Of course, the contrast is not quite so stark: in Alexander the Great the Greeks had found the greatest territorial conqueror of all time这句话是解题点。前面是说希腊人擅长航海，而罗马人是擅长在陆地上。而这句话转折，说这个对比并不是绝对，注意他用了stark这个词，就是说前面对比不是绝对的。然后就举例说在亚历山大大帝时期希腊人拥有最大的版图，也就是说希腊人也可以陆地作战的。
