[判断题]The progress of civilization is not wholly a uniform drift towards better things. It may perhaps wear this aspect if we map it on a scale which is large enough. But such broad views obscure the details on which rests our whole understanding of the process. New epochs emerge with comparative suddenness, if we have regard to the scores of thousands of years through out which the complete history extends. Secluded races suddenly take their places in the main stream of events; technological discoveries transform the mechanism of human life; a primitive art quickly flowers into full satisfaction of some aesthetic craving; great religions in their crusading youth spread through the nations the peace of Heaven and the sword of the Lord.sJ0答案窝(daanwo.com)-大学作业答案分享平台
文明的进展并不完全是一股步调一致、日趋完美的洪流。从足够宏观的角度看，或许是这样的，但宏观视角往往会模糊了细节而这些细节恰恰就是我们理解文明进程的依据所在。假使我们从整个人类历史所穿越的几千几万年的角度来看。新时代的出现常常是相当突然的。与世隔绝的民族突然在主流历史事件中占有了一席之地；技术发明改变了人类的生存机制；一种原始的艺术形式迅速发展，充分满足了某种审美渴求；处于权力发展初期的伟大宗教，就在各民族中传播了天国的和平和上帝的威严。sJ0答案窝(daanwo.com)-大学作业答案分享平台
