英国历史文化 现代世界的一个突出特征是许多国家都形成了宗教信仰多元化的现实，其中包括英国。英国宗教信仰多元化的问题不但反映了这个国家宗教文化的历史进程，更重要的是从一个侧面说明了宗教与、经济、、民族等问题的密切关联，这些关联又证实了宗教在现代世界各国的重要意义所在。但是，从我们掌握的情况看，国内有关英国宗教问题的研究成果很少，而专门研究英国宗教多元化问题的论着还没有见到。因此，研究、分析和了解英国宗教多元化的历史成因、表现及其特点（注：本文为教育部重点研究基地重点项目“现代欧美人口迁移与宗教多元化”的阶段性成果。），不但具有历史学科价值，也具有现实意义。 历史上宗教信仰多元化的起源与发展 1054年基督教公开分裂为天主教和东正教以后，英国原本也是一个天主教国家。1529年，都铎王朝的亨利八世以教皇不同意他与王后离婚为由开始与罗马教廷走向决裂。与罗马教廷决裂后的英国教会称“安立甘宗(Anglican Communion)”，又称“圣公会(Anglican Churches)”，具有国教的地位。由于英国与罗马教廷的决裂是经由亨利八世的改革来进行的，而且亨利八世并没有宣布放弃天主教信仰，改革后的英国国教保留了主教制等天主教传统，安立甘教成为一个既有罗马天主教传统、又有新教特点的教派。由于国教内部对天主教残余问题存在不同看法，加之其他新教教派观点和思想的传入，使英国宗教从近代开始出现了多元化的趋向。 首先，英国安立甘教本身分为“高教会派”和“低教会派”两大教派。所谓高教会派，又称“安立甘公教派”，也可以翻译为“英国天主教”，英语为Anglo-Catholicism，主张天主教传统礼仪和教义，但提倡改革教会；所谓低教会派，又称“安立甘宗福音派”，也有人翻译为“福音新教”，英语为Anglican Evangelicals，强调个人悔改和虔修，注重在圣公会中保持新教传统，贬低天主教礼仪和教义的重要性。尽管英国所有的安立甘教派，包括扩散到英国国外殖民地上的安立甘教派都以坎特伯雷大主教为精神领袖，但在对待天主教及其传统的态度等问题上存在分歧，所以，安立甘教内部的多元化已成事实。 其次，在宗教发展史上，英国安立甘教经历了曲折的历史发展过程，其中包括爱德华六世时期的改革、血腥玛丽时期的天主教复辟、伊丽莎白时期的恢复国教统治，最后，终于发展成为一场对英国宗教、政治，乃至经济都发生重大影响的内战。由
必修3思考题答案
二、追寻生命的起源问题解答 【想一想】古代没有形成真正科学而系统的生物学的原因有哪些？其中主要的原因是什么？ ?原因有：人们对自然的认识有限；生产力发展水平底；神学、宗教、传说对人们思想的束缚；近代科学认识和方法还未出现。其中主要原因是生产力水平低下，人们受宗教神学的影响。 ?【想一想】达尔文写作《物种起源》，给我们的启发有哪些？达尔文在考察中得出的结论和林耐的结论有什么不同？ 启发：要具有敏锐的洞察力和持之以恒的精神。不同：林耐认为生物是神创的，因此物种是不变的。达尔文则认为自然界生物的物种是不断进化的，不断从低级向高级发展。自然界进化的规则是生存竞争，通过自然选择，最适者生存下来。 ?【议一议】有人说，17世纪的牛顿把“造物主（神）”从无生命现象的研究领域驱逐出去了，19世纪的达尔文又把“造物主”从有生命现象的研究领域驱逐出去了。这种说法对吗？结合所学知识谈谈你的理由。 ?提示：对。说明理由时要联系牛顿和达尔文的成就给神学的打击。如进化论给上帝创造万物说以致命一击。它证明了今天的整个有机界——植物、动物，包括人在内，都是延续亿万年的发展过程的产物。 ?【自我测评】达尔文进化论的核心观点是什么？进化论是怎样传入我国的？产生了什么影响？ ?核心观点是：自然界生物的物种是不断进化的，不断从低级向高级发展。自然界进化的规则是生存竞争，通过自然选择，最适者生存下来。 ?1894年，严复翻译《天演论》在《国闻报》的增刊上发表，系统地介绍了进化论。进化论传入中国，震动了中国的思想界，对维新变法运动和新文化运动起了巨大的推动作用。 ?【阅读与思考】上面两段文字反映了什么历史现象？你是怎样看待的？ 反映的是达尔文进化论从出版后到20世纪以来遭到巨大的抵制。 ?从中可以看出：当时宗教习惯的影响很大；科学的发展是艰难而曲折的；要学会分辨真理，相信科学。 ?从时代背景分析，你认为上面两段文字反映的历史现象是否存在差别？为什么？ ?有差别。材料二中所表现的反对和抵制较之材料一要小一些。随着时代发展，科学在进步。 三、人类文明的引擎问题解答 ?【议一议】大机器工厂与手工工场有哪些区别？ 提示：用机器进行生产；实行工厂制管理；使用蒸汽机作动力。 【议一议】蒸汽机的发明给人类社会带来了哪些影响？ 提示：从生产力进步、生产关系变革、国际格局变化和科学文化事业进步等方面分析影响。如经济上：提供了更加便利的动力，迅速推广后，大大推动了机器的普及和发展；人类社会由此进入蒸汽时代。 ?【读一读】天才，不过是百分之一的灵感加上百分之九十九的汗水。你对这句话是怎么看的？ 爱迪生发明电灯的艰辛历程正是这句话得到真实写照。它告诉我们，要想取得成就必须依靠勤奋的努力。 ?【想一想】我们生活中的哪些东西是第二次工业革命时发明的？ 发电机、电灯、电话、电车、电影、内燃机、柴油机、电报、塑料、人造纤维、人造染料等等。

英国文化论文
英国文化论文 虽然英国的发展历史并没有很悠久，但其发展却极其迅速，下面是关于英国的地理、历史、君主立宪体制、政治、文学、媒体、经济、宗教和教育的概述。 公元前地中海的伊比利亚人、比克人、凯尔特人，先后来到不列颠。公元1－5世纪大不列颠岛东南部为罗马帝国统治。罗马人撤走后，欧洲北部的盎格鲁人、萨克逊人、朱特人相继入侵并定居。7世纪开始形成封建制度，许多小国并成七个王国，争雄达200年之久，史称“盎格鲁—撒克逊时代”。829年威塞克斯国王爱格伯特统一了英格兰。 英国位于欧洲，是由大不列颠岛（包括英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士）以及爱尔兰岛东北部的北爱尔兰和一些小岛（海外领地）组成。英国本土位于欧洲大陆西北面的不列颠群岛，被北海、英吉利海峡、凯尔特海、爱尔兰海和大西洋包围。24.36万平方公里（包括内陆水域），英格兰地区13. 04万平方公里，苏格兰7. 88万平方公里，威尔士2. 08万平方公里，北爱尔兰1. 36万平方公里。 政体为君主立宪制。国王是国家元首、最高司法长官、武装部队总司令和英国圣公会的“最高领袖”，形式上有权任免首相、各部大臣、高级法官、军官、各属地的总督、外交官、主教及英国圣公会的高级神职人员等，并有召集、停止和解散议会，批准法律，宣战媾和等权力，但实权在内阁。议会是最高司法和立法机构，由国王、上院和下院组成。上院（贵族院）包括王室后裔、世袭贵族、新封贵族、上诉法院法官和教会大主教及主教组成。 英国资产阶级革命确立的君主立宪政体大大削弱了国王的权力，议会及政府逐步掌握了治理国家的权力，这种政治体制虽然有其历史局限性，但它结束了英国的封建专制制度，使得英国走上资产阶级政治民主化的道路，有利于资本主义的发展。它代表了历史发展的趋势，是历史的一大进步。英国是世界上第一个建立君主立宪制的国家，这一制度的确立和不断完善，不仅对巩固资产阶级在英国的统治起了巨大的作用，而且对其他国家的资产阶级建立新的制度，也有着巨大影响。 英国文学源远流长，经历了长期、复杂的发展沿变过程。在这个过程中，文学本体以外的各种现实的、历史的、政治的、文化的力量对文学发生着影响，文学内部遵循自身规律，历经了盎格鲁—撒克逊，文艺复兴，新古典主义，浪漫主义，现实主义，现代主义等不同历史阶段。 传媒业在英国相当发达。在英国这样一个拥有6000万人口的国家，报纸、杂志、书籍、电视、广播以及各种音像制品等传媒，在人们日常生活中几乎无所不在。而且由于英语在当今国际交流中的主导地位以及英国在国际社会中的独特角色，英国的新闻产品和英文节目跨越和占据了世界传媒版图上的大部分角落，并享有着不可撼动的地位。随着传媒技术的发展，传媒不但为大众提供了新闻信息和休闲娱乐，而且成为一种创造财富的重要手段，是GDP的一个重要组成部分。 英国是世界经济强国之一，其2007年国内生产总值位居世界第五。英国制造业在国民经济中的比重有所下降；服务业和能源所占的比重不断增大，其

“西方文化概论”通识课 试题及答案样卷 一、名词解释 布匿战争A、布匿战争是罗马人对外扩张的第一场战争，其对手是地中海南岸的迦太基，该战争共打了三次，以罗马的最终胜利和迦太基的灭亡而告终（3分）；B、布匿战争加速了罗马对外扩张的步伐，成为罗马称霸地中海世界的序幕（2分）。 命运A、命运是希腊悲剧的基本主题，它是潜藏在悲剧主人公的自由行动背后的一种决定论力量，最典型的命运悲剧如《俄底浦斯王》等（3分）；B、希腊悲剧中的命运在稍后的希腊哲学中发展为决定现象的本质，其实质即不依人的意志为转移的自然规律或社会规律（2分）。 阿维农之囚A、公元1305－1377年，法国国王使用武力把天主教廷从罗马移至法国的飞地阿维农，从此开始了长达70年之久的教廷被囚阿维农的历史（2分）。B、阿维农之囚是罗马教会与世俗王权斗争中所经历的一次奇耻大辱，它标志着中世纪教会凌驾于世俗王权之上的绝对权威开始发生动摇，民族国家开始崛起（3分）。 因信称义A、马丁·路德宗教改革的主要神学思想，它的基本内容是：只有信仰才是得救（称义）的唯一根据（2分）；B、“因信称义”思想的意义在于，与中世纪罗马天主教会所宣扬的各种善功称义思想针锋相对，反对通过买卖赎罪券等活动来达到称义目的的虚伪主张（3分）。 弥赛亚运动“弥赛亚”一词源自希伯来文，希腊文译作基督，本意为受膏者或受上帝祝福的人。在犹太人中弥赛亚与君主、救世主同义，每当犹太人受到本族或异族的统治者的压迫和欺凌，生活痛苦无法忍受时，就会有一位犹太人宣布自己就是众所期待的弥赛亚，领导犹太人进行反抗运动。 前三头同盟A、前三头同盟是指罗马共和国晚期克拉苏、庞培、恺撒三人缔结的政治同盟（2分）；B、前三头同盟的出现标志着罗马共和国已经走向没落，骑士阶层开始公开地与元老院相抗衡，并且逐渐控制了罗马共和国的命运（3分）。 修道运动把繁华的世俗生活和肉体欲望当作魔鬼的陷阱的观点，驱使许多向往崇高道德境界的基督徒隐遁到人迹罕至的荒野中去苦修，结果就导致了独身、贫穷、禁欲和修道运动的出现 哥特式建筑A、哥特式建筑是中世纪基督教信仰的一种艺术形式，最典型地体现为哥特式教堂建筑（2分）；B、哥特式建筑以纤巧诡异的艺术形式表现了一种交织着痛苦与希望的宗教精神，充分展现了基督教的救赎理想（3分）。 神人同形同性A、神人同形同性是希腊多神教的基本特点，它反映了自然宗教的朴素特征，使得希腊诸神具有十足的感性魅力（3分）；B、同形是指诸神具有人的形体，同性是指诸神具有人的性情（2分）。 宗教宽容A、16世纪宗教改革导致了宗教战争，到了17世纪中叶《威斯特伐利亚和约》签定以后，宗教宽容取代了宗教冲突而成为一种普遍的时代精神（2分）；B、宗教宽容构成了西方近代科学理性和民主政治生长的温床，宽容精神首先从宗教领域开始出现，继而发展为一般性的宽容，从而使科学和民主的成长成为可能（3分）。 修道运动修道的禁欲主义是起因于反对教会逐渐世俗化，在3，4世纪时兴起。而更早的潜伏因素是在君士坦丁大帝统一教会及罗马帝国前，因基督教的宽柔政策，所以教会水准偏低、基督徒素质不齐。驱使许多向往崇高道德境界的基督徒隐遁到人迹罕至的荒野中去苦修。他们把繁华的世俗生活和肉体欲望当作魔鬼的陷阱，持守贫穷、圣洁、顺服的誓言，

英国历史文化遗产保护制度样本
英国历史文化遗产保护制度 一、英国历史文化遗产的保护内容 英国的历史文化遗产保护由三个层次构成: 古迹保护、登录建筑保护和保护区。对城市的保护在立法立体中是作为保护区的一种情况来加以保护的。 古迹主要至那些一般没有具体用途、无人居住的历史遗产, 如史前遗迹。 被选为法定保护的古建筑称为登录建筑, 它的定义是”有特殊建筑艺术或历史价值, 其特征和面貌值得保存的建筑物”, 它们由国务大臣编成一个目录。登录工作始于1944年, 环境部的古建筑调查官员根据英格兰遗产委员会的建议, 经过全国性的持续调查后推荐, 最后经国务大臣批准公布。1946年, 政府将拟定的登录建筑的选定标准下达给环境部的调查官员, 这些标准主要有四条: 建筑艺 术特征、历史特征、群体价值、年代和稀有程度。 1967年的《城市文明法》将保护区定为”其特点或外观值得保护或予以强调的、具有特别的建筑和历史意义的地区”。该法要求地方政府提出行政辖区内的保护区, 国家也有权超越地方政府直接把任何有历史、文化、艺术价值的建筑群列为保护区。保护区的划分原则是有利于保护该区的特点和完整性, 即地段的整体效果。 英国的历史文化遗产保护体系不大强调历史古城, 至1999年仅有四座历史古城: 巴斯、契切斯特、切斯特和约克。 二、英国历史文化遗产的保护管理制度 登录建筑 登录建筑的保护管理主要依据的是1968年城乡规划法规定的”登录建筑许可证”制度, 用以防止未经批准而对登录建筑进行损坏和对建筑及历史特征的拆毁、 改建、扩建行为。 登录建筑的拆毁、改建、扩建必须由业主向地方规划部门提出申请以获得许可证, 规划部门在决定之前必须对此事进行公告并通知相关机构, 于21天内检查
