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.
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with others. 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.
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 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. The progress from a rattle used by a baby in 3000 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. [br] 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、even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology
C、it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-making
D、even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the times.
答案
D
解析
推理题。文章最后仅提到了玩具的制造只受“可获得的材料(available materials)”的限制,却未在任何地方提及“在玩具制造上,在材料的使用上是有延续性的”;文章指出“…they have not been subject to technological leaps…”,所以“即便是最简单的玩具也可以反映出技术的进步”与之矛盾;同时也无法从这里和其他语句中推理出“将新技术引入玩具制造业需要很长的时间”,所以 A 、B 和C 都错误。根据文章最后的"Each rattle is the prod
