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.
(76)
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 after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.
(77)
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, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every 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 oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步). The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC 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、in toy - making there is a continuity in the use of materials
B、it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy -making
C、even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology
D、even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the time
答案
D
解析
本题要求考生推断作者用意。作者在文章此段的最后一句指出,像拨浪鼓这种玩具也是“时代艺术风格的产物”。所以D,项是答案。

提起民间借贷,很多人会自然联想到“高利贷”“利滚利”“非法集资”等负面形象。对民间借贷非议的第一个理由是,利息率这么高导致许多企业破产。然而,企业借到了高价钱可能破产,但借不到钱不是更容易破产吗?事实上,民间借贷使许多中小企业避免了破产,而不是相反。文段意
