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] The author concludes by offering the advice; ______.
选项
A、since tradition necessarily has its roots in the past, it would be better to take no notice of it
B、we must stick firmly to tradition when facing a new problem, and not break with it under any circumstance
C、we should neither worship nor reject tradition but take from it some help it can offer in certain particular instance
D、we should realize the limitations of a changing world and not invite failure
答案
C
解析
本题问作者在结论部分提供的建议是什么。文章最后一部分指出,如果我们一味坚持根据过去筹划未来,那显然就是作茧自缚、自寻失败。所以,最好是在接受传统所能提供的帮助的同时,既要认识到它毕竟是产生于过去的东西,也要充分意识到它在不断变化的世界里的局限性。因此,本题的正确答案应是C“我们既不应该崇拜传统也不应该抛弃传统,而是应该在某些具体的情况下从中获取传统所能提供的帮助”。
