问题 The word debts in "very few debts are left unpaid" in the first paragraph means ______.
Building roads by the British ______.
选项 A、put an end to a whole series of quarrels.
B、prevented the Pathans from carrying on feuds.
C、lessened the subsidies paid to the Pathans.
D、gave the Pathans a much quieter life.
答案B
解析 文章在最后一段结尾提到关于英国人筑路带来的后果。由…a whole series of quarrels took their origin from this source．看出筑路不但没能阻止争吵的发生，反而成为矛盾产生的原因，排除A)；由They sought to ensure the safety of these roads by threats，by forts and by subsidies．可知，英国人采用包括提供补助津贴在内的形式来确保公路的安全，但并未提到减少补助，排除C)；All along the road people were expected to keep quiet，意思为英国人希望道路两旁的人们保持安静，文中并没有提到他们的生活更加安静，排除D)；英国人筑路使得当地部落不能随意穿越公路攻打自己的敌人，客观上对于消除部落之间的世仇宿怨起了推动作用，所以答案为B)。
