18、e that this article would have been published in a student newspaper.Homework 1.Recite the key sentences in the text.2.Preparations:Preview Using Language.1.一个要将中国归于中央集权下的专制一统，一个要恢复天下到六国时代诸侯联盟的松散政制。这看上去好像只是一个是否认同统一的历史趋势的问题，现代人常常站在统一的立场上去批判项羽，仿佛只有用铁骑扫平了六国的秦王才算是一个民族英雄，其实问题并不这么简单。2.从历史的长时段看，统一的趋势是无法阻遏的
19、。从根本上说，它是中华民族发展到一定阶段，文明内部各部分长期交往整合的必然结果。问题只在以何种方式统一3.可以设想，即使没有秦的武力，天下也终将归于一体，这也为汉以后的历史实际所一次次证明。无可否认的是，秦王的铁骑确实使这一过程大大简化了。看上去，历史似乎少走了许多弯路，细想来却又未必。4.先不说铁骑下呻吟的民众，是否也有追求自己那一点卑微的生活自由的权力，就是从文明的发展来说，统一的后果也有许多地方值得怀疑。5.中央集权确实加强了国家的权力，使秦汉帝国成为当时世界上少有匹敌的强大力量。但是，作为代价，从原始社会时代开始积累起来的那一种有限民主（哪怕是统治阶级内部民主），也彻底丧失了。6.春秋战国时期纵横捭阖的士，逐渐变成了可以“倡优畜之”的文人。当秦军焚烧着六国的宫殿，将天下一切珍奇全都劫掠汇聚向咸阳时，中华文明也就从多元变成了一元，从多中心变成了一个或最多两三个中心（所谓“两都”或“三都”）。7.燕京之所以成为当年第一流的综合性大学，更有赖司徒确立的办学方向，一开始就使燕京弥漫着浓厚的学术自由、思想自由的空气。8.今天，我们将一些传统节日提高到法定节假日的高度，也应该在传统节日中注入时代的精神风貌、时代的人文习俗，而不是单纯地重复过去的节俗。
