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.

选项
A、war is the only way to solve international disputes
B、war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons
C、it is impossible for man to live without war
D、war must be abolished if man wants to survive
答案
D
解析
A项“战争是解决国际争端的唯一方式”显然与文章立意相悖,排除;B项“由于武器的改进,战争将会变得越来越不危险”,根据作者在第一段中对核武器、生化武器的阐述可知该项不正确;C项“人类要想不发生战争就无法生存”也错误,否则作者就不会倡导人类消除战争了;D项“如果人类要生存就必须消除战争”正确,这也是第一段中“要么就是人类废止战争,要么就是战争摧毁人类”的意思。故选D。
