Part V Reading comprehension:

Directions: There is a passage in this part. The passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.

Many historians of the twentieth century look back at the fifteenth century and say, “Machiavelli was the first political scientist in history.” They say that he looked at politics for the first time with the factual eye of a scientist. He was only interested in the facts. He thought that

politics and morality didn’t go together very often, but he studied ideas of right and wrong, along with politics; government leaders, he wrote, could use these ideas to get and keep power.

In Machiavelli’s opinion, the nature of human beings is usually evil, so a good person must always fail. He thought it was important for a political leader to know how to be bad. In fact, Machiavelli saw leaders of government as people above ordinary human beings; so he believed, they are also above ordinary morality. Good and evil, he said, are only ideas that weak people use to excuse weakness; powerful people use these ideas to keep other people weak. They can lead because they want power and because they fight for it. Also, these leaders are not usually afraid to leave morality behind, so they don’t have ideas of right or wrong to stop them. They think only of power. It is nice, Machiavelli said, if political leaders can also be good people, but they must know how to be bad when the time comes.

Machiavelli said that it is natural to fight for power and that there are two methods people use: law and physical force. The first method is the way of human beings, and the second method is the way of animals. Great political leaders very often use the way of animals, but they usually pretend to use the way of good human beings. They do this to get and keep power.

People are evil, in Machiavelli’s opinion, so war and fighting are always in the world; they are a natural part of it. Political leaders know the way of nature, of people, and animals, and they use their knowledge to get what they want.

46. According to the passage, a political scientist is a person who ____________.

A) studies politics and science at the same time

B) studies in a political way

C) knows politics as well as science

D) studies politics in a scientific way

47. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

A) Machiavelli studied politics and ideas of right and wrong

B) Morality and politics went together very often

C) Machiavelli was interested in facts and opinions

D) Machiavelli looked at science with the eye of a politician

48. According to the passage, in the opinion of Machiavelli, ____________.

A) political leaders are special human beings and have different morality.

B) human beings are usually bad and are certain to fail

C) powerful people use ideas of right and wrong to control themselves

D) it is important for a political leader to know the nature of humans

49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? ____________.

A) Powerful people use ideas of good and evil to control weak people

B) Weak people use ideas of good and evil to excuse weakness

C) Powerful people are afraid to desert morality

D) Powerful people should know how to be bad

50. It is implied in the passage that ____________.

A) Political leaders know how to get what they desire as animals do

B) wars are likely to occur so long as evil leaders exist

C) political leaders often use physical force to fight for power

D) political leaders pretend to be bad to keep other people weak
