Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity(创造力)has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons, may before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration(调解)in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based on dogmatic(教条式的)statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them fanatically(狂热地)that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace(老生常谈)that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb. [br] In the sentence "To do this, we need to persuade mankind... "(Line 6, Para. 1), "this" refers to______.
选项
A、solving international problems
B、improving weapons
C、abolishing war
D、living a peaceful life
答案
C
解析
原文第九句提到:“为达到这一目标,我们需要劝说人们以一种新的方式看待国际问题……”。要想确知this的指代,我们需要向前寻找答案。上文说:“即使我们能成功废除核武器,我们的使命也并不算完结。除非我们彻底消灭了战争,否则我们的使命永远不算完成。”可见this指的就是消灭战争这一任务。答案为C。
