问题  
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 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. 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 upon dogmatic statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them. To prevent war, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted for the survival of human beings.

D、Persuade mankind to live with war.

答案B

解析 短文结尾部分提到,要防止战争,我们就需要说服人们以一种新的方式来看待国际事务(指通过一致同意的协议来进行仲裁)。之后说话者又指出要改变人们这种旧的思维习惯是不容易的,但为了使人类得以生存这是必须尝试的方法。听到其中的任何一句话,都不难得出,B为正确答案。
