otherwise I would write to him

解析：解析：在otherwise或or引导的并列分句中用虚拟语气。此时，otherwise或or引导的并列句相当于非真实性条件句中的主语部分，前一分句暗示了现在的情况，因而在 otherwise引导的分句中要用与现在事实相反的虚拟语气。

[单选题]What matters ______ not winning but participating.

正确答案 ：D

is

解析：解析：此句很可能考句子主语，又因出现动词matter，因此，主语极可能为一主语从句。如主语为名词性从句，谓语动词一般用单数。

[单选题]Which of the following objects was an important woodworking tool used by early American craftsmen?

正确答案 ：D

A chisel

解析：解析：应该在文章中找到每一个选项的单词在文中出现的地方，然后判断出其是否是工具还是木雕作品。只有D选项chisel一词与另一种工具knife作为并列关系同时出现，所以可以判定其为另外一种工具。其他选项代表的全是木雕作品。

It is just possible they are,【35】they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in【36】an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and【37】them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is【38】conquerors and generals have done -- is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other【39】by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of other side, and then【40】that that side which has killed most has won.
