In the author"s opinion, the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries are [A] certainly not the greatest in any way. [ B ] neither the greatest nor the most civilized. [ C ] possibly the most civilized but not the greatest. [ D ] possibly the greatest in some sense but not the most civilized.
参考答案
正确答案:D
事实细节题。在文章第一段第五句作者说:It is just possible they are,but they are not the most civilized.(或许他们仅仅是这样一类人,而不是最文明的人)。解题的关键是对此句中的代词they的理解。此处的they指的是those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors(那些在战争中征服大量国家并统治这些国家的人)。根据此句可以判断选项[D]与原文内容相符,并且其中的词组in some sense(从某种意义上说)更是准确地表达了作者对这些所谓伟大的人的一种轻视。
