【单选题】I am speaking not as aBriton, not as aEuropean, not as a member of a western democracy, (31) ______. The world is full of conflicts: Jews andArabs; Indians and Pakistanis, white men and Negroes inAfrica; and, overshadowing all minor conflicts, the titanic struggle between communism and anticommunism. Almost everybody who is politically conscious has strong feelings about one or more of these issues; but I want you, if you can, to set aside such feelings for the moment and consider yourself only as a member of a biological species (32) ______.

The question we have to ask ourselves is: (34) ______ The general public, and even many men in positions of authority, have not realized what would be involved in a war with hydrogen bombs. The general public still thinks in terms of the obliteration (灭迹,消灭) of cities. It is understood that the new bombs are more powerful than the old and that, while one atomic bomb could obliterate Hiroshima, (35) ______. No doubt in a hydrogen-bomb war great cities would be obliterateD、But this is one of the minor disasters thatwould have to be faceD、If everybody in London, New York, and Moscow were exterminated, the world might, in the course of a few centuries, recover from the blow.But we now know, especially since theBikini test, that hydrogen bombs can gradually spread destruction over a much wider area than had been supposeD、It is stated on very good authority that a bomb can now be manufactured (36) ______.

It was this dust which infected the Japanese fishermen and their catch of fish although they were outside whatAmerican experts believed to be the danger zone.
