单选题 According to the author, "The common explanation" of connections between economic, military, and cultural development is______.

A、 revolutionary and too new to have been applied to the history of the Byzantine Empire.
B、 not applicable to the Byzantine revival as a whole, but does perhaps accurately describe limited periods during the revival.
C、 equally applicable to the Byzantine case as a whole and to the history of military, economic, and cultural advances in ancient Greece and Rome.
D、 essentially not helpful, because military, economic, and cultural advances are part of a single phenomenon.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[精解] 本题是一个细节题。考生在理解文章意思的基础上对内容进行提炼。
A．革命性的，太新颖以至于不能用来解释拜占廷王朝。错误，文章中没有提到理论的革命性和新颖。
B．不能全部用来解释拜占庭的复兴，但是可能精确揭示了复兴中有限的一段时间。正确，注意到最后一段中的第一句：“No doubt this hypothetical pattern did apply at times during the course of the recovery．”。
C．同适用于古希腊，古罗马一样适用于拜占庭的军事、经济、文化发展史。错误，和文章的意思正好相反。
D．本质上没什么用，因为军事、经济、文化的发展都是同一个现象的不同部分。前半句正确，但是后半句原因属于臆断。文章中没有透露。
