TPO07 Ancient Rome and Greece
There is a quality of cohesiveness about the Roman world that applied neither to Greece nor perhaps to any other civilization, ancient or modern. Like the stone of Roman wall, which were held together both by the regularity of the design and by that peculiarly powerful Roman cement, so the various parts of the Roman realm were bonded into a massive, monolithic entity by physical, organizational, and psychological controls. The physical bonds included the network of military garrisons, which were stationed in every province, and the network of stone-built roads that linked the provinces with Rome. The organizational bonds were based on the common principles of law and administration and on the universal army of officials who enforced common standards of conduct. The psychological controls were built on fear and punishment—on the absolute certainty that anyone or anything that threatened the authority of Rome would be utterly destroyed.
有一個聯結有關羅馬,其既沒應用於羅馬或其他文明的祖先或現代。例如羅馬牆的石頭經由特別的設計與特殊的羅馬膠結使其互相連結,所以羅馬領土藉由物理組織的 心理的控制 行成一個巨大的實體。物理關係包含軍事駐兵,設站在每個省份與道路連接去羅馬。組織部分是基於一般法律與行政單位與官方的軍隊。心理控制部份是用恐怖與懲罰-可以絕對確定的 任何事物威脅羅馬的權力都會被根本的破壞
Paragraph 3 Certainly, in trying to explain the Roman phenomenon, one would have to place great emphasis on this almost instinct for the territorial imperative. Roman priorities lay in the organization, exploitation, and defense of their territory. In all probability it was the fertile plain of Latium, where the Latins who founded Rome originated, that created the habits and skills of landed settlement, landed property, landed economy, landed administration, and a land-based society. From this arose the Roman genius for military organization and orderly government. In turn, a deep attachment to the land, and to the stability which rural life engenders, fostered the Roman virtues: gravitas, a sense of responsibility, peitas, a sense of devotion to family and country, and iustitia, a sense of the natural order.
Paragraph 3 suggests which of the following about the people of Latium?
○Their economy was based on trade relations with other settlements.
○They held different values than the people of Rome.
○Agriculture played a significant role in the society.
○They possessed unusual knowledge of animal instincts
這題我選錯了~ 是選到B 我從文章定位不到有關agriculture的東西 是不是從文章中的fertile plain去推出的呢~
