参考答案

正确答案:B
解析:该题为观点态度题。根据最后一段可知,作者提出了马基雅维利在内容上的缺陷,即“…adheringattimestoocloselytothechroniclersofhistime,andatothersrejectingtheirtestimonywithoutapparentreason…”,意思是“文章中有时候太过于附和他所在时代的编年史,而有时候又坚决抛弃其中的论断,而没有给出任何明显的理由…”。而最后一句作者表明“Itisthestraightforward,logicalnarrative,whichalwaysholdstheinterestofthereader,thatisthegreatestcharmoftheHistory.”意思是:“他直接的、有逻辑的叙述常常能引起读者的兴趣,这就是这本书的魅力所在。”可见,作者认为这本书内容上有缺陷,而对马基雅维利的语言风格持肯定态度。所以,作者对《佛罗伦萨史》的看法就是:这本书的魅力在于他的文体风格而不是内容,故选B。
