Many of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all.
We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors.
It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently—this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done—is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it had been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right. [br] What is the writer’s attitude towards the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries?
选项
A、Positive.
B、Critical.
C、Ironic.
D、Respectful.
答案
B
解析
观点态度题。从文中第3段第1句推断出作者的态度,该句是一个转折并列句,转折连词but表明了作者认为那些国家虽然伟大但并不文明。从第2句开始。作者将这些国家与动物或野人相比,认为他们都是不文明的,由此可见,作者对这些国家的态度是带有批判性的。本题最具干扰性的是选项C,本文中作者对这些国家的不文明做法是直接批判的,没有讽刺的意味,因此不能用ironic来形容作者的态度。
