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(创造力)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. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration(调解)in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
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 on dogmatic(教条式的)statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them fanatically(狂热地)that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace(老生常谈)that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb.
This passage implies that war now is______.
选项
A、worse than in the past
B、as bad as in the past
C、not so dangerous as in the past
D、as necessary as in the past
答案
A
解析
原文中的modem与题干中的now对应,该句提到:“现代智慧已经改变了这种模式。要么就是人类废止战争,要么就是战争摧毁人类。目前,最具危险性的是核武器,但是细菌和化学武器也许会在不久的将来造成更大的威胁。”可见作者认为由于科技的进步,如今战争的杀伤力比以往更大,可能会摧毁整个人类。故答案为A。
