To dig, to plow, to build, to wear clothes—all are direct violations of the injunction to follow nature. 17. Which one of the following is an assumption made by the author of the passage? (A) The arts of life have no useful end. (B) The artificial is not better than the natural. (C) Digging, plowing, building, and wearing clothes are better than nature. (D) The injunction to follow nature should not be violated. (E) The arts of life are indirect means of following nature. 18. If the author’s argument were challenged on the grounds that the construction of buildings has adverse effects on the natural environment, which of the following replies might the author use to respond to the challenge logically? (A) There are human activities, such as making music, that are environmentally harmless. (B) Harming the environment is not an end, of purpose, of the arts of life. (C) The construction could involve the use of natural, not artificial, materials. (D) Constructing buildings is not an “art of life.” (E) Even if the natural environment is disturbed by the construction of buildings, it is improved for human 这道题目我2个都答错了，答案分别是C，E 大家能给我解释下么。这题我理不出思路来。 A: 17答案是C 前半句是一个反问句，是用于反驳人为不如自然的观点，显然作者自己的观点是人为好过自然。后半句是作者支持自己的观点显然举例应与自己的观点一致。因此to dig, to plow to build泛指人为，这些应该是好于自然的 18答案E 对题中的提法比较logic的反驳应该是指出construction of buildings并不一定adversely affect the environment. 文中并没有提到art of life,所以选项B,D是无关选项 文中也并没有提到其他活动，况且making music 与construction of buildings不可类比，所以选项A也是无关选项。 选项C指出用材料的问题，也与原文没有什么关系，也是无关选项 选项E指出虽然可能对环境有影响，但是人们在improve environment,这样就可以使得construction对环境的影响减轻或消除，因此为正确答案
