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.
Which of the following is the author’ s view on the historical development of toys?
选项
A、Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a child’ s character.
B、The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.
C、The craftsmanship in toy-making has remained essentially unchanged.
D、Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.
答案
D
解析
本题是推理题。文章的第3段第3句话:“It is the universality of toys withregard to their development in all parts of theword and their persistence to the present that isamazing”(令人感到惊讶的正是世界各地玩具发展的普遍性和直到现在玩具的持久不变性)。由此可以知道作者的观点是“玩具历经很多世纪,其基本特性几乎一成不变”。选项A的内容文章并未提及。选项B的内容也与玩具的历史发展无关。选项C所提到的制造玩具的工艺不是没变,而是有了很大变化,故D为正确选项。
