In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list (A、B、C、D、E、F、G……) to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are several extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. (10 points)
Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. 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. (41)______.
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. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling 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.
That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. (42)______. But nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.
But we must not expect too much. (43)______. Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of jellyfish and that kind of creature for about twelve hundred million years; but there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years at the outside. These figures are difficult to grasp; so let us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the earth as one hundred years; then the whole past of man works out at about one month, and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight hours. (44)______.
Taking man’s civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future, that is to say, the whole period between now and when the sun grows too cold to maintain life any longer on the earth, at about one hundred thousand years. (45)______. The past of man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and bullying and gorging and grabbing and butting. We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.
A. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets—while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life.
B. In my opinion, the greatest countries should behave properly to other countries and obey the rules they constituted together.
C. Now we’ve got little time to learn how to get along well with others or other countries.
D. So you see there has been little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better.
E. After all, the race of men has only just started.
F. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much.
G. 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.
选项
答案
E
解析
从后文中的内容可以看出噪,主要讲的就是人类的发展还只是历史发展中一个很短的阶段,人类的文明才刚刚开始。所以,前面这个衔接上下文的句子,只有E最合适。
