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. [br] In the second paragraph, "this context" refers to______.
选项
A、decay and deterioration
B、movement forward
C、tradition
D、a changing world
答案
D
解析
本题是一道词汇含义类问题。问第二段中this context指什么。仔细阅读一下第二段内容,根据文章上下文,在这种环境下,传统可能会成为一种有益的力量,也会成为一种有害的力量。只要它能起到一种引导作用,便能帮助那些缺乏知识和信息闭塞的人们前进一步,从而使他们适应变化了的环境。因此,我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是D“不断变化着的世界”。
