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 hunter and the nervous hostess" in Para. 2 are referring to people who______.
选项
A、are ignorant and uninformed
B、are well aware of custom’s limitations
C、become an obstacle on the path of progress
D、constitute the force for good
答案
A
解析
细节题。文中第二段讲到,在此背景下,传统既可以成为有益的力量,也可以成为有害的力量。只要它提供一个指南(而不是坚持认为它是唯一的路径),就会帮助蒙昧者和无知者前行,从而使他们适应发生变化的境况。传统或习俗可以有效地为猎手提供指导,就像使不知所措的女主持有章可循一样。因此这里的“猎手和女主持”指的是蒙昧者和无知者。所以正确答案是A。
