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 can not 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(without insisting that its path is the only one), 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、崇拜)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 adopt 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.
This passage manly discusses the relationship between______.
选项
A、industry and agriculture
B、evil tradition and good tradition
C、man and the changing world
D、tradition and change
答案
D
解析
主旨题。本文首先点明应变才能适应环境变化,是进化的基本需要,后面以农民和国家为例加以说明。从而引出第二段对传统的辩证看法,即在此背景下传统既可以成为有益的力量,也可以成为有害的力量。不能一味崇拜传统,应把它视做指南,采纳其中有用的部分,因为世界是在不断变化着的。从中可知,本文主要讨论了传统与变革之间的关系。所以正确答案是D。
