Hank Morgan, the hero of Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, is a nineteenth-century master mechanic who mysteriously awakening in sixth-century Britain, launches what he hopes will be a peaceful revolution to transform Arthurian Britain into an industrialized modern democracy. The novel, written as a spoof of Thomas Malory’s Morte d’ Arthur, a popular collection of fifteenth-century legends about sixth-century Britain, has been made into three upbeat movies and two musical comedies. None of these translations to screen and stage, however, dramatize the anarchy at the conclusion of A Connecticut Yankee, which ends with the violent overthrow of Morgan’s three-year-old progressive order and his return to the nineteenth century, where he apparently commits suicide after being labeled a lunatic for his incoherent babblings about drawbridges and battlements. The American public, although enjoying Twain’s humor, evidently rejected his cynicism about technological advancement and change through peaceful revolution as antithetical to the United States doctrine of progress.
11. It can be inferred from the passage that Mark Twain would most probably have believed in which of the following statements about societal change? □A Technological advancements are limited in their ability to change society and will likely bring liabilities along with any potential benefits.
□B The belief in the unmitigated benefits of societal change is antithetical to the American doctrine of progress.
□C Technological advances and peaceful revolutions,although sometimes accompanied by unintended violence and resistance to societal change, eventually lead to a more progressive order.
选项C中看答案解析说这个选项所述内容和原文相反。。。求教 原文对应点在哪里啊。。。哪里说反了？难道是说"None of these translations to screen and stage, however, dramatize the anarchy at the conclusion of A Connecticut Yankee, which ends with the violent overthrow of Morgan’s three-year old progressive order and his return to the nineteenth century, where he apparently commits suicide after being labeled a lunatic for his incoherent babblings about drawbridges and battlements."?小说中主人公最后并没有达到progressive order？ |
