I am speaking not as a Briton, not as a European, not as a member of a western democracy, 【C1】______ . The world is full of conflicts: Jews and Arabs; Indians and Pakistanis, white men and Negroes in Africa; and, overshadowing all minor conflicts, the titanic struggle between communism and anticommunism.
Almost everybody who is politically conscious has strong feelings about one or more of these issues; but I want you, if you can, to set aside such feelings for the moment and consider yourself only as a member of a biological species 【C2】______ . I shall try to say no single word which should appeal to one group rather than to another. All, equally, are in peril, and, if the peril is understood, there is hope that they may collectively avert it. We have to learn to think in a new way. 【C3】______ , for there no longer are such steps. The question we have to ask ourselves is: 【C4】______ ?
The general public, and even many men in positions of authority, have not realized what would be involved in a war with hydrogen bombs. The general public still thinks in terms of the obliteration (灭迹,消灭) of cities. It is understood that the new bombs are more powerful than the old and that, while one atomic bomb could obliterate Hiroshima, 【C5】______ . No doubt in a hydrogen-bomb war great cities would be obliterated. But this is one of the minor disasters that would have to be faced. If everybody in London, New York, and Moscow were exterminated, the world might, in the course of a few centuries, recover from the blow. But we now know, especially since the Bikini test, that hydrogen bombs can gradually spread destruction over a much wider area than had been supposed. It is stated on very good authority that a bomb can now be manufactured 【C6】______ . Such a bomb, if exploded near the ground or under water, sends radioactive particles into the upper air. They sink gradually and reach the surface of the earth in the form of a deadly dust or rain. It was this dust which infected the Japanese fishermen and their catch of fish although they were outside what American experts believed to be the danger zone. No one knows how widely such lethal (杀伤性的) radioactive particles might be diffused, but the best authorities are unanimous in 【C7】______ . It is feared that if many hydrogen bombs are used, there might be universal death.
Here, then, is the problem which I present to you, stark and dreadful and inescapable: 【C8】______? People will not face this alternative because it is so difficult to abolish war. 【C9】______ . But what perhaps impedes understanding of the situation more than anything else is that the term "mankind"feels vague and abstract. People scarcely realize in imagination that the danger is to themselves and their children and their grandchildren, and not only to a dimly apprehended humanity. And so they hope that perhaps war may be allowed to continue provided modern weapons are prohibited. I am afraid this hope is illusory. Whatever agreements not to use hydrogen bombs had been reached in time of peace, they would no longer be considered binding in time of war, and both sides would set to work to manufacture hydrogen bombs 【C10】______, for if one side manu-factured the bombs and the other did not, the side that manufactured them would inevitably be victorious.
(From Shall We Choose Death?)
A. saying that a war with hydrogen bombs is quite likely to put an end to the human race
B. which will be 25,000 times as powerful as that which destroyed Hiroshima
C. What steps can be taken to prevent a military contest of which the issue must be disastrous to all sides
D. The abolition of war will demand distasteful limitations of national sovereignty
E. Shall we choose death because we cannot forget our quarrels
F. Shall we put an end to the human race or shall mankind renounce war
G. as soon as war broke out
H. but as a human being, a member of the species Man, whose continued existence is in doubt
I. one hydrogen bomb could obliterate the largest cities such as London, New York, and Moscow
J. which has had a remarkable history and whose disappearance none of us can desire
K. We have to learn to ask ourselves not what steps can be taken to give military victory to whatever group we prefer
