There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic(北极的)people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding. Nearly ever)’ civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent(进步). The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓)used by a baby in 3000 B. C. to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.
One aspect of "the universality of toys" lies in the fact that______.
选项
A、the basic characteristics of toys are the same all over the world
B、technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toys
C、the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys
D、the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities
答案
A
解析
本题是句意理解题。本题实际上是考查对“universality of toys”的理解。文中第3段第1句“What is remarkable about thehistory of toys is not so much how they changedover the centuries but how much they haveremained the same”(玩具的最显著的历史特点不是它经历了几个世纪变化有多大,而是在相当大的程度上还保持着同样的特性)。universality意思是“普遍性,一般性,广泛性”,它与选项C中的universe“宇宙,万物”和选项D中的universities“大学”毫无关系。
