TPO7 Ancient Rome and Greece - 英檢

Table of Contents

Paragraph 4 Modern attitudes to Roman civilization range from the infinitely
impressed to the thorough disgusted. As always, there are the power
worshippers, especially among historians, who are predisposed to admire
whatever is strong, who feel more attracted to the might of Rome than to the
subtlety of Greece. At the same time, there is a solid body of opinion that
dislikes Rome. For many, Rome is at best the imitator and the continuator of
Greece on a larger scale. Greek civilization had quality; Rome, mere quantity.
Greece was the inventor; Rome, the research and development division. Such
indeed was the opinion of some of the more intellectual Romans.” had the
Greeks held novelty in such disdain as we,” asked Horace in his Epistle,
“what work of ancient date would now exist?”

10.According to paragraph 4, intellectual Romans such as Horace held which of
the following opinions about their civilization?
○Ancient works of Greece held little value in the Roman world.
○The Greek civilization had been surpassed by the Romans.
○Roman civilization produced little that was original or memorable.
○Romans valued certain types of innovations that had been ignored by ancient
Greeks.
