参考答案

正确答案：D
解析：细节题。倒数第四段第二句指出“In particular，they sought out things that would help him draw out universal themes．”，之后开始对展出物品的主题进行说明，四个选项中．只有“与奴隶制度的斗争”这个主题没有涉及，故[D]为答案。倒数第四段末句“By examining objects from each place，Mr．MacGregor is able to compare two different ways of constructing a highly efficient state and nimbly reassesses Athens in the context of the Persia it was fighting．”，其中ways of constructing a highly efficient state是对政体的研究，[A]符合文意；倒数第二段首句指出“Mr．MacGregor also uses coins，the simplest common sign of a centralized rule，to explore the personification of power as well as the history of money and of trade．”，可见[B]和[C]是谈及的主题，符合文意。
