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.
The farmer’s case in Para. 1 is given as an example of______.
选项
A、the trend of economic development
B、the course of human evolution
C、the need of adaptability
D、the importance of social change
答案
C
解析
细节题。文中第一段讲到,对于需要土地用于建房屋或者工业用地的农民来说,他必须使自己适应这种变化。他可以搬迁到另外一个地方并且克服那里特有的各种问题;或许经过一段时间的培训,他可以转换职业,否则可能会被饿死。从中可知,所举农民的事例是为了表明适应变化的必要性,所以正确答案是C。
