Text 2For centuries the most valuable of African resources for Europeans were the slaves ,but these could be obtained at coastal ports, without any need for going deep inland. Slavery had been an established institution in Africa. Prisoners of war had been enslaved, as were also debtors and individuals guilty of serious crimes. But these slaves usually were treated as part of the family. They had clearly defined rights, and their slave status was not necessarily inherited. Therefore it is commonly argued that Africa's traditional slavery was mild compared to the trans-Atlantic slave trade organized by the Europeans. This argument ,however ,can be carried too far .ln the most recent study of this subject, some scholars warned against the illusion that "cruel and dehumanizing enslavement was a monopoly of the West. Slavery in its extreme forms ,including the taking of life, was common to both Africa and the West. The fact that African slavery had different origins and consequences should not lead us to deny what it was - the exploitation and control of human beings. "Neither can it be denied that the wholesale shipment of Africans to the slave plantations of the Americas was made possible by the participation of African chiefs who rounded up their fellow Africans and sold them as a handsome profit to European ship captains waiting along the coasts.Granting all this ,the fact remains that the trans-Atlantic slave trade conducted by the Europeans was entirely different in quantity and quality from the traditional type of slavery that had existed' within Africa. From the beginning the European variety was primarily an economic institution rather than social ,as it had been in Africa. Western slave traders and slave owners were acted on by purely economic considerations ,and were quite ready to work their slaves to death if it was more profitable to do so than to treat them more mercifully. This inhumanity was reinforced by racism when the Europeans became involved in the African slave trade on a large scale. Perhaps as a subconscious rationalization they gradually came to look down on Negroes as inherently inferior ,and therefore destined to serve their white masters. Rationalization also may have been involved in the Europeans' use of religion to justify the traffic in human beings. It was argued ,for instance ,that enslavement assured the conversion of the African evil-believing religions to the true faith as well as to civilization.46.1n the first paragraph, the author argues that[ A] the Europeans were innocent in the trade of African slaves.[ B] slavery in Africa and in the West was the same in nature.[ C] the view in the most recent studies of enslavement is baseless.[D] slaves had been treated even more cruelly in the African tradition.

单选题Passage1One of the world's first videogames，Tetris，has turned thirty years old，and its brand is anything but old school.But what's kept people swiping and clicking to ensure each row of blocks stays aligned and disappears into the virtual world since its development in 1984 Soviet Russia？A combination of new platforms and an attracting psychological appeal.Maya Rogers, the CEO of Blue Planet Software, the sole agent of the Tetris brand, said the protection of the game's core over the last three decades has aided its longevity. As mobile and social become two of the largest sources for gaming these days, Tetris isn't showing any signs of losing its appeal. Currently appearing on over 50 different gaming platforms, from the 1983Nintendo Entertainment System(NES) to smartphones, Tetris is sold on over 425 milion mobile devices. More than 20 billion games of Tetris Battle have been played on Facebook, too. There's something psychologically entrancing about the game, that's kept people hooked through the years."Play a game of Tetris," said Rogers," and satisfy your craving to create order out of chaos."Plus, there's the added quality of playing Tetris and never feeling wholly fulfilled."There's no correct move that you can make,"said Neubauer, a loyal player of the game who work as a senior analyst at Saibus Research, an independent research and advisory firm," The quest for the perfect move never ends."Tom Stafford,a professor of cognitive development and psychology at Sheffield University in the U.K, says that Tetris has been around so long because it transports gamers into a different realm when they play."It's a world of perpetually generating uncompleted tasks, "he said. As he's said in the past, too, "Tetris is the granddaddy of puzzle games like Candy Crush saga-the things that keep us puzzling away for hours, days and weeks.""Tetris is pure game: there is no benefit to it, nothing to learn, no social or physical consequence,"he added."It is almost completely pointless, but keeps us coming back for more."Since it was developed, Tetris has been ________.Aapplied for no more than 30 yearsBno longer attracting and popularCbuilt a solid footing in the puzzle game marketDupdated into more intricate model
