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.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage regarding man’s imagination?
选项
A、Great imagination is a necessary prerequisite to great art.
B、Architecture is the result of an imaginative act and results in more than simple habitation.
C、True communication is solely the purview of man.
答案
A, B
解析
The best answer is A and B. The author lists accomplishments, which include writing books, composing melodies, and building houses, that separate humans from animals. He then implies that great buildings are more than simply shelter(e.g. nests). Imagination and creativity are the qualities that allowed humans to achieve these accomplishments. These points support choices A and B.
