It may be pointed out that warfare(战争)as practiced by man has no parallel in nature,This is to say that within the more highly developed animal populations of this earth,there is not now.nor has there been similar destruction within a species(物种)itself.In fact,one has to go to the lowliest forms of animal life,such as certain kinds of ants,to find anything comparable to human warfare.It is a curious fact that mankind appears to give the killing of his own kind a good reason by imaging that it is a"law of nature".There are now a lot of wrong ideas about the laws of nature,of which this is one of the most incorrect and fateful(致命的).Political beliefs have been based upon it with results that have come near to destroying human civilization.The theory that war is a biological necessity.that it is nature′s method of controlling population and believing in the survival(生存)of the strong and the elimination(灭亡)of the weak,is totally wrong and insupportable.Within the last century.when wars have been common all over the world,the human population of the earth has almost doubled.The author of this passage seems to be the"law of nature".A.againstB.in favor ofC.uncertain ofD.very much interested in

问答题The Importance of being Interested 1) Now I have recalled these beginnings of the careers of Franklin, Darwin and Mozart because they strikingly illustrate a profound psychological truth the significance of which can scarcely be overestimated. 2) It is fl truth, to be sure, that has long been partially recognized. 3)But its full meaning has not been--and could not be—appreciated until quite recently. 4)Only within the past few years has scientific research effected various discoveries which make its complete recognition possible and of supreme importance—of such importance that practical application of the principles involved would make for an immediate and stupendous increase in human happiness, efficiency, and welfare. 5)Stated briefly, the truth in question is that success in life, meaning thereby t he accomplishment of results of real value to the individual and to society, depends chiefly on sustained endeavor springing out of a deep and ardent interest in the tasks of one's chosen occupation.

问答题The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammarare for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. Arough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical 1._______words have “less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them 2._______“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather 3._______misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like theis not the name 4._______of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a 5._______sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet theis the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words 6._______differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in th 7._______lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “little words.”But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words 8._______of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. 9._______Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say:we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This 10._______is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of tele-grams and newspaper headlines.

问答题The science of architecture, followed out in its full (1)____extent, is one of the noblest of that which have reference (2)____only to the creations of human mind. It is not merely ascience of the rule and compass, it does not consist onlyin the observation of just rule, or of fair proportion:it was, (3)____or ought to be, a science of feeling more than of rule, aministry to the mind, than to the eye. If we consider how (4)____much less the beauty and majesty of a building depend (5)____its pleasing certain prejudices of the eye, than upon itsrousing certain trains of meditation in the mind, it willshow in a moment how much intricate questions of feeling (6)____are involved in the raising of an edifice;it will convinceus of the truth of a proposition, which might at last have (7)____appeared startling, that no man can be an architect, whois not a metaphysician. With the illustration of the department of this noble (8)____science which may be designated the Poetry of Architecture, this and some future articles will be dedicated. It is this peculiarity ofthe art that constitutes its nationality:and it will be found asinteresting as it is useful, to trace in the distinctive characters of thearchitecture of nations, not only its adaptation to the situation (9) ____and climate in which it has arisen, but its strong similarity to, and connection to, the prevailing turn of mind by which the nation who (10)____first employed it is distinguished.
