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.
The author uses the example of a rattle to show that______.
选项
A、it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-making
B、even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology
C、even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the time
D、in toy-making there is a continuity in the use of material
答案
C
解析
本题是推理题。文章最后一段第3句“The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓)usedby a baby in 3000 B.C.to one used by an infanttoday,however, is not characterized byinventiveness”(从公元前3000年孩子玩儿的拨浪鼓到今天孩子玩的拨浪鼓并不是以某种发明为特征)。以及最后一句话“Each rattle isthe product of the artistic tastes of the times andsubject to the limitations of available materials”(每只拨浪鼓只是每个时代艺术品位的反映,并受到了可选材料的限制)。因此作者强调的是玩具的艺术特性,故选C。
