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] The last paragraph suggests that______.
选项
A、international agreements can be reached more easily now
B、man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war
C、nuclear war will definitely not take place
D、world opinion welcomes nuclear war
答案
A
解析
四项的意思分别是:国际协议现在更容易达成、人们开始认识到核战争的危险性、核战争绝不会发生、世界观点欢迎核战争。C项表达绝对化,D项有悖常理,这两项可先排除。而从该段第二句中的commonplace一词可知人类也不是刚刚才开始认识到核战争的危险,故排除B。因此只剩下了A选项。结合最后一段中作者的观点,“人们开始思考,即使那些能决定人类生死存亡的实权人物也在思考:是否应该依靠谈判达成共识,甚至双方都发现那些共识其实并不完全令人满意。”可知,与以前相比,国家之间现在更容易达成协议。故选A。
