问题 The first sentence of the opening paragraph indicates that
In the author’s opinion, the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries are
选项 A、certainly not the greatest in any way.
B、neither the greatest nor the most civilized.
C、possibly the most civilized but not the greatest.
D、possibly the greatest in some sense but not the most civilized.
答案D
解析 事实细节题。在文章第一段第五句作者说"It is just possible they are．but they are not the most civilized"．(或许他们仅仅是这样一类人，而不是最文明的人)。解题的关键是对此句中的代词"they"的理解。此处的"they"指的是"those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors"(那些在战争中征服大量国家并统治这些国家的人)。根据此句可以判断选项答案选项与原文内容相符，并且其中的词组"in some sense"(从某种意义上说)更是准确地表达了作者对这些所谓伟大的人的一种轻视。
