Passage 5.

Is It Possible to Persuade Mankind to Live Without War?

War is an ancient institution which has existed for 1) six thousand years. It was always wicked and 2) foolish, but in the past，the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. 3) man will abolish war, 4) war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the gravest danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an 5) 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 skilful in massacre, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is 6) to change age－old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.

You never know your luck.

命运好坏不由己。

There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a profound error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic (教条主义的) assertions which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatical that they are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion during the past two years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the international 7) , 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 East and West, but between Man and the Hbomb.

答案与解析：

1.答案〖〗at least解析〖〗这里需要一个修饰时间的词组，使用at least“至少”可以使句子在表达意思方面更客观。该词组用于从最低可能去判断，不少于。

2.答案〖〗usually解析〖〗在空格前我们能够发现一个可以给我们解题很大启示的单词and，对比它连接的成分可以推断出空格中缺少的是类似always这样能够修饰形容词的表示“通常，大多数情况下”的单词，通过这些信息我们可以得出答案，即usually。

3.Sow nothing, reap nothing.春不播，秋不收。答案〖〗Either解析〖〗要么……要么。用在以“或”连接的两个或多个并列成分或分句的第一个之前，如：Either we go now or we remain here forever.要么我们现在走，要么永远在这里呆下去。

4.答案〖〗or解析〖〗还是either...or的词组，在此我们来具体看一下这个词组在使用时应注意的方面。在either...or结构中，两个连接词后应跟并列成分，试比较：（1）You may either have the ring or the bracelet.（2）You may have either the ring or the bracelet.你即可以有戒指也可以有手镯。显然，第一种说法不符合要求是错误的，而第二句是正确的。当作为句子中主语的either...or结构中的所有成分都是单数时，动词也应用单数，如：Either Mary or Tom has been invited. 马丽和汤姆都被邀请了。类似地，当所有成分都是复数时，动词也应用复数，如：Either the Clarks or the Keys have been invited.克拉克全家和凯全家都被邀请了。以上提到的几点相信大家都会用得很好，值得注意的是最后一点，即当结构中既有单数成分又有复数成分的时候，动词该采取什么形式呢。关于这一问题人们的观点并不统一，但普遍认为动词的人称和数应与离得最近的名词或短语相匹配，因此我们说Either Eve or the Keys have been invited.而不说Either Eve or the Keys has been invited.
