问题     It can never be proved, but it is a safe assumption that the first
time five thousand male human beings were ever gathered together in
one place, they belonged to an army. That event probably occurred
around 7000 BC, and it is an equally unsafe bet that the first truly【M1】______
large-scale slaughter of the people in human history happened very
soon afterward.
    The first army almost certainly carried weapons no different
from those hunters had been using on animals and on each other for【M2】______
thousands of years previously—spears, axes, bows and arrows. Its
strength did not lie on mere numbers; what made it an army was【M3】______
discipline and organization. This multitude of men obeyed a single
commander and killed their enemies to achieve his goals. It was the【M4】______
most awe concentration of power the human world had ever seen,【M5】______
and nothing besides another army could hope to resist it.【M6】______
    The battle that occurred when two such armies fought has little【M7】______
in common with the clashes of primitive warfare. Thousands of men
were crowded together in tight formations that moved on command
and marched in step. Drill, practiced over many days and months until
it became automatic, is that transformed these men from a mob of【M8】______
individual fighters into an army.
    And when the packed formations of well-drilled men had【M9】______
collided on the forgotten battlefields of earliest kingdoms, what【M10】______
happened was quite impersonal, though every man died his own
death. It was not the traditional combat between individual warriors.
