Question 17-18

If the artificial is not better than the natural, to what end are all the arts of life? 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 use.

17，答案C，蒙对了，但觉得文章的逻辑关系挺模糊的，好像没有直接的conclusion，只是把话反着说了～～哪位牛牛能帮着分析一下这倒题的逻辑思路～～先谢拉～～

18，答案E，我选的A，现在明白A为什么错了，但是E，it is improved for human use，是说“环境在人们的活动作用下改善了”吗？～～还是“环境是改善人们生活的需要”（宇航的解释）？
