Change—or the ability to adapt oneself to a changing environment—is essential to evolution. The farmer whose land is required for housing or industry must adapt himself: he can move to another place and master the problems peculiar to it; he can change his occupation, perhaps after a period of training; or he can starve to death. A nation which cannot adapt its trade or defense requirements to meet world conditions faces economic or military disaster. Nothing is fixed and permanently stable. There must be movement forward, which is progress of a sort, or movement backwards, which is decay and deterioration.
In this context, tradition can be a force for good or for evil. As long as it offers a guide, it helps the ignorant and the uninformed to take a step forward and, thereby, to adapt themselves to changed circumstances. Tradition, or custom, can guide the hunter as effectively as it can influence the nervous hostess. But if we make an idol (偶像) of tradition, it ceases to become a guide and becomes an obstacle lying across the path of change and progress. If we insist on trying to plot the future by the past, we clearly handicap ourselves and invite failure. The better course is to accept the help which tradition can give, but realizing that it necessarily has its roots in the past, to be well aware of its limitations in a changing world.
Tradition becomes an obstacle across the path of change and progress when we______.
选项
A、accept tradition only as a guide
B、rely too much on tradition without realizing its limitations
C、strongly desire for change without considering the possible consequences
D、plot the future irrespective of tradition
答案
B
解析
本题问什么时候传统就变成了变革和前进道路上的绊脚石。文章第二段指出,传统可能会成为一种有益的力量,也会成为一种有害的力量。但是,如果我们把传统偶像化,它就不再会是向导,而会成为挡在变革和进步道路上的绊脚石。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“过分依赖传统而没有认识到其局限性”。
