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 cannot 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, 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) 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 accept 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 author uses the incident of the farmer in the passage to illustrate that______.
选项
A、people should adapt themselves to the changed circumstances
B、farmers are especially influenced by tradition
C、the farmer may have to undergo a period of training
D、the farmer will starve to death if he does not pay due regard to tradition
答案
A
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问作者在文章中用农民的例子来证明什么。利用查阅式阅读法,我们发现文章第一段第二句话指出,土地被征用于建造房子或工厂的农民就必须适应情况的变化。他可以迁居他乡,学会解决那里的特殊问题;也可以经过一段时间的培训后改行,不然,他就会饿死。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“证明人们必须使自己适应变化了的环境”。
