1.单选题[阅读理解]The other side of a state legal apparatus is a state military apparatus. While the one protects the individual from violence, the other sacrifices the individual to violence in the interests of the state. In war the state affirms supreme power over the individuals within its own borders. War is not simply a trial by combat to settle disputes between states; it is the moment when the state makes its most powerful demands upon its people for their commitment, allegiance, and supreme sacrifice. Times of war test a community‘s deepest religious and ethical commitments.
What can we learn from the paragraph?
A、Governments tend to abuse their supreme Power in times of war.
B、In times of war governments may extend their power across national borders.
C、In times of war governments impose high religious and ethical standards on their people.
D、Governments may sacrifice individuals in the interests of the state in times of war.
正确答案:D
答案解析:本段的主旨较为明显,说的是国家司法机器的另一方面,即军事机器,开头第二句说得很明确,这一方面是为了国家的利益而牺牲个人,恰好是选项D的意义。

答案解析:通过后文的Once he makes up his mind to do something, he won’t give it up halfway(一旦他下定决心做某事,他从来不会半途而废),我们可以猜测出,resolute应该是意志坚定的意思。
