60.B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“…adhering at times too closely to the chroni- clers of his time, and at others rejecting their testimony without ap- parent reason…”，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“It is the straightforward， logical narrative, which always holds the interest ofhe reader, that is the greatest charm of the History．”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。
