Which has the greater impact, good or evil, the heroes or the villains (坏人), Roosevelt and Churchill or Hitler? To what extent do they depend on each other, when threats produce resolve, when terror(产生,酿成) engenders courage, when an Ultimate challenge to principle has the effect of making principles stronger, forging them by fire.’? Thoughtful people want to understand what made Hitler strong and what finally killed him; and search, perhaps, for a vaccine for the virus that reappears still in ethnic enclaves, on websites, in the wilderness camps of skinhead anarchists and in the halls of Columbine High School, where two boys celebrated Hitler’s birthday with a memorial massacre of children.
If all Hitler had done was killing people in vast numbers more efficiently than anyone else every did, the debate over his lasting importance might end there. But Hitler’s impact went beyond his willingness to kill without mercy. He did something civilization that had not seen before. Genghis Khan operated in the context of the nomadic steppe, where pillaging(抢劫,掠夺) villages was the norm, Hitler came out of the most civilized society on Earth, the land of Beethoven and Goethe and Schiller. He set out to kill people net for what they did but for who they were.
It is this distinction that pulls us right into the heart of the question. And that is our long, modern conversation over the nature of evil. The debate goes back to Socrates, who argued that anyone who was acquainted with good could not intentionally choose evil instead. Enlightenment thinkers went further, pushing concepts of good and ceil into the realm(领域,范畴) of superstition. But Hitler changed that. It was he, perhaps more than any other figure, who demanded a whole rethinking about good, evil, God and man. [br] "This distinction" in the last paragraph refers to the fact that Hitler ______.
选项
A、killed far more people than Genghis Khan did

解析
文章第三段中distinction所指的对象可以在第二段中找到。根据Hitler came out of the most civilized society on Earth,the land of Beethoven and Goeth and Schiller.希特勒与成吉思汗的区别,在于后者来自一个野蛮民族,而希特勒则生活在一个文明的国度。根据文章倒数第一段, A、B两项在原文中未有涉及,所以排除,D项与原文意思不一致,排除。
