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] The author says that civilized people______.
选项
A、should not have any quarrels to settle
B、should not fight when there are no quarrels to settle
C、should settle their quarrels without fighting
D、should settle their quarrels by killing the other side
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。本题考查other than的理解。第3段倒数第3句提到文明人的做法,理解的关键在于短语other than(而不是),并明白作者认同other than之前的做法,即find some way of settling their disputes。选项A和B无依据,选项D显然与作者的观点完全相反。
