    Lord Bacon's remarks on Machiavelli is quoted as

    [A] a support for the author's viewpoint.

    [B] one of the mainstream views on him.

    [C] a judgment in support of most critics.

    [D] a modification of the author's previous stand.


    正确答案:A
    57.A该题为细节题。根据第一段第六和七句“He merely had the frank- ness and courage to write down. what everybody was tlunking and what everybody knew.”“He merely gives us the impressions he had received from a long and intimate intercourse with princes and the affairs of state.”可知,作者认为马基雅维利只是够坦白、有勇气将每个人所想的和所知道的写下来而已;他所告诉我们的是他和君主的长期亲密接触过程中以及国家事务中所留下的印象。接着作者引用培根的话“马基雅维利告诉我们君主所做的事,而不是他们应该做的事。”由此可知,作者和培根的观点一致,都认为 2010年9月笔试真卷参考答案及精析第10页(共12页)马基雅维利只是讲述了君主实际上所做的事,可以推断出作者引用培根的话为了进一步支持自己的观点,故选A。
