19、e who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know【 1】 first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year;【 2】 we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think【 3】 them, so much so that on all the highest column
20、s in the great cities of the world you will find the【 4】 of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people【 5】 that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of【 6】 countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just【 7】 they are, but they ar
21、e not the most civilized. Animals【 8】 ; so do savages (野蛮人 ); hence to be good at fighting【 9】 be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good; but it is not to be【 10】 . Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most【 11】 this, after all, is wh

Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to【 13】 some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can【 14】 the greater number of the other side, and then saying that t
23、hat side which has killed【 15】has won. And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been 【 16】 . For that is what going to war means; it means【 17】 that might is right. That is what the story of mankind has【 18】 been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history,【 19】 mill
24、ions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets 【 20】 , that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet,
25、 and still behave like savages. （ A） where （ B） who （ C） what （ D） why （ A） though （ B） still （ C） but （ D） although （ A） a great deal of （ B） many of （ C） a number of （ D） lots of （ A） picture （ B） oil-painting （ C） stone （ D） figure （ A） believe （ B） expect （ C） mean （ D） like （ A） some （ B） many

30、lso any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is【 C5】 _when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.

31、o in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer【 C7】_that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100, 000“ words“ ready for【
32、 C8】 _use. An average American teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100, 000 words of English.

36、f global mobility, what long-term results can one expect? In high-income regions,【 21】 North America, our picture suggests that the share of traffic【 22】 supplied by buses and automobiles will decline as high-speed transport rises sharply.

37、e in the shares first for buses and later for automobiles. Globally, these【 24】 in bus and automobile transport are partially offsetting. In all regions, the share of low-speed rail transport will probably continue its strongly【 25】 decline. We expect that throughout the period 1990 2050, the【 26】 N
38、orth American will continue to devote most of his or her 1.1-hour travel-time【 27】 to automobile travel. The very large demand【 28】 air travel (or high-speed rail travel) that will be manifest in 2050【 29】 to only 12 minutes per person a day; a little time goes a long way in the air. In several deve
39、loping regions, most travel【 30】 in 2050 will still be devoted to nonmotorized modes. Buses will persist【 31】 the primary form of motorized transportation in developing countries for decades.【 32】 important air travel becomes, buses, automobiles and【 33】 low-speed trains will surely go on serving vi
