问题 Almost all Americans want to be democratic, but many Americans are confused about what, exactly, democracy means. How do you know when someone is acting in a democratic or an undemocratic way? Recently several groups have spoken out with particular bitterness against the kind of democracy that means equal opportunity for all, regardless of race or national origin. They act as if all human beings did not belong to one species, as if some races of mankind were inferior to others in their capacity to learn what members of other races know and have invented. Other extremists attack religious groups—Jews or Catholics--or deny the right of an individual to be an agnostic. One reason that these extremists, who explicitly do not want to be democratic, can get a hearing even though their views run counter to the Constitution and our traditional values is that people who do want to be democratic are frequently muddled.

选项

答案

解析几乎所有的美国人都崇尚民主,但是许多美国人并没有搞清民主到底指的是什么。怎么知道某人的行为是民主的还是不民主的呢?最近,一些团体愤愤不平地反对民主,即不分种族国籍,人人机会均等的观点。他们这样做就好像说所有的人类并不属于同一种群,好像某些人种在学习其他人种的经验和发明创造方面的能力不如别人。另外一些极端分子攻击宗教团体——犹太教或天主教——或否认个人信奉不可知论的权利。尽管这些明确表示不想要民主的极端分子的观点同宪法及传统的价值观念背道而驰,他们仍然能够得以陈述自己的观点,其原因就是崇尚民主的人们通常也是糊里糊涂的。
