听力原文： Some Theories of History Good morning, everyone. In today’s
lecture, we are going to talk about some theories of history. How much of man’s
history do we know? We really know very little. Written records exist for only a
fraction of what we suppose to have been man’s time as a unique species.
Furthermore, the accuracy of these records is often suspected, and the scope and
selection of significant detail in them often needs improvement. It is worse when
we try to reconstruct man’s history before the development of writing, and this is
unfortunate because the history of the early development of human society is lost to
us. The most that we can do is to use traces, deduction, speculation and the knowledge
we have of the habits of those animals which have some elementary social order to
help us make a partial reconstruction. This is hardly a satisfactory substitute for
precise information. With our knowledge of human history, which is only
fragmentary at best, it is therefore nearly impossible to reconstruct the beginning, and
to deduce the end, of the story of man. Thus, there have developed many schools of
thought on the subject, each of which attempts to give coherence to the human past by
fitting it into the framework of a theory of history. The first theory I want to
introduce is assumed that man continually progress. He has evolved from a lower to a
higher form of being, and he continues to evolve. This evolution takes place both in
terms of his potentials and his abilities to actualize these potentials. If one holds
this theory, one feels that modern man must be more intelligent and civilized today
than his ancestors, as well as physically and morally superior to them. One further
assumes that this progress will continue into an ever more glorious future. Here
deduction often ends and dreams of Utopia begin, for it seems that most of us find it
hard to think of the human race developing into a race of angels. All in all, as a theory
of history, the above view has had many eminent supporters. It might be well to
mention here a variation on this theory that used to be popular, namely the idea that
man rose from a low condition to a Golden Age at some time in the remote past, and
that things have gone straight downhill ever since. Many eminent men have found a
sort of gloomy comfort in this idea, but science has now opened up possibilities for
the future which makes this theory less defendable. Perhaps for this reason the theory
has little modern support. A second theory of history is held by those men who
see man’s history as something quite different from a simple progression from a lower
to a higher state. They see it as a cycle of stages of development which are predictable
in their broad outlines and main features. As surely as a civilization rises and comes
into being, so also must it decline and fall. The chief pattern one sees in history is the
rise and fall of civilization. To holders of this theory, modern man is not looked
upon as the most superior social being yet produced. He is simply the typical product
of the current stage in the cycle of our civilization. In fact he may actually be inferior
to members of past civilizations. It all depends upon what stage of civilization we
happen to be living in. Indeed, it has been said that the average modern literate city
dweller is comparatively more ignorant of his era’s fund of knowledge than other
literate city dwellers of the past While the staggering fund of knowledge in our
technologically advanced world is undoubtedly greater than that of any past
civilization, it is probably true that the average modern man, relying on such
repetitive forms of entertainment as television and working in a narrowly specialized
job, knows a great deal less sheer information about his world than did earlier people.
In a third theory of history, the two above theories are to some degree reconciled.
According to this theory, which is often termed the spiral view of history, human
