The evolution of culture is dependent upon the development of the tools of civilization. Civilized cultures exhibit a high degree of ingenuity. It is the concept of humans as toolmakers and modifiers that differentiates us from other animals and, some would say, makes us civilized. A monkey might use a stick to remove termites from a log, but that stick will never be reworked into a fork or other eating utensil. Monkeys have never devised a spoken language, written a book, composed a melody, built a house, or paved a street. To claim that birds build nests and beavers construct dams is to miss the mark. Man once lived in caves, but our imagination and creativity have allowed us to progress toward true civilization. [br] Based on the attitudes displayed in the passage, with which of the following statements would the author most likely disagree?
选项
A、High culture is the necessary result of a stable civilization.
B、Flexibility is almost as important as ingenuity in the development of a civilized culture.
C、Sophisticated social structures in the animal world can be seen as precursors to civilized culture in humans.
答案
A,C
解析
The best answer is A and C. The only necessary point argued by the author is the need for ingenuity to achieve high culture. He nowhere argues that stability plays a role. In fact, it’s equally possible that the author might think that instability could spur invention. Equally, the author makes no link between animal behavior and human creativity. In fact, he states that people who do so "miss the mark."
