Ancient Christianity may be divided into two great periods. In the first, it was a religion liable to persecution, suffering severely at times and always struggling to maintain itself; in the second, it became the religion of the State, and in its turn set about to repress and persecute the heathen religions. It was no longer without legal rights; it had the support of the secular rulers and was lavishly endowed with wealth. These two periods are markedly different, and the conditions had a distinct effect upon the life and growth of the Christian religion.
The central idea presented by the author in this paragraph is that:
A. Early Christians were often persecuted for their beliefs, and sometimes even killed.
B. Though later Christians were no longer persecuted, they never forgot the history of their religion.
C. The Christian church became very wealthy over time and was supported by kings and emperors.
D. The two very different periods of early Christianity each served to mold the nature of the religion.
E. Becoming the religion of the State was the turning point for Christianity as a world religion.

GRE阅读题之犯罪率在上升
每日一练
The same truth is now known about crime; but the understanding and the application of it are just opening upon us. The old and still dominantthought is, as to cause, that a crime is caused by theinscrutable moral free will of the human being, doingor not doing the crime, just as it pleases; absolutelyfree in advance, at any moment of time, to choose ornot to choose the criminal act, and therefore in itself the sole and ultimate cause of crime. Asto treatment, there still are just two traditional measures --- jail, or a fine (for death is nowemployed in rare cases only). But modern science, here as in medicine, recognizes that crimealso (like disease) has natural causes. It need not be asserted for one moment that crime is adisease. But it does have natural causes. And as to treatment, modern science recognizes thatpenal or remedial treatment cannot possibly be indiscriminate and machine- like, but must beadapted to the causes, and to the man as affected by those causes.
The author believes which of the following? Select all correct choices.
A.The dominant thought is that crime is caused by free will
B.Free will is not the only cause of crime
C.Crime is not a disease

GRE阅读题之美国和欧洲的联系
每日一练
The American frontier is sharply distinguished from the European frontier -- a fortified boundary line running through dense populations. The most significant thing about the American frontier is, that it lies at the hither edge of free land. In the census reports it is treated as the margin of that settlement which has a density of two or more to the square mile. The term is an elastic one, and for our purposes does not need sharp definition. We shall consider the whole frontier belt, including the Indian country and the outer margin of the "settled area" of the census reports. This paper will make no attempt to treat the subject exhaustively; its aim is simply to call attention to the frontier as a fertile field for investigation, and to suggest some of the problems which arise in connection with it.
