(单选题)
According to the passage, who helped civilization forward?
A.The pioneers in science and technology.
B.Conquerors and generals.
C.Those setting disputes by force.
D.The experts in military matters
参考答案:A
参考解析:
推理判断题。根据文章第一段可知人们经常记住的是那些征服者,将军或者士兵,但是对于真正推动文明向前发展的人却很少记得。说明真正推动文明发展的不是这些征服者,将军或者士兵。而是“We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥) a field”中的科学家和先驱者。故选A。
