实在是不理解!两道题都不会做,请教各位。
Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior. The role those anthropologists
ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of  human behavior but one of imposing constraints— ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that “come natu-
rally” in archetypal situations in any culture. Our“frailties”–emotions and motives such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love—may be a very mixed
assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them. And thus they give us our sense of constraints.

Unhappily, some of those frailties—our need for ever-increasing security among them—are presently maladaptive. Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes. We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their pressure.

1. Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the  "details" versus "human behavior"?
(A) The ability of most people to see all the
colors of the visible spectrum as against
most people's inability to name any but
the primary colors
(B) The ability of even the least fortunate
people to show compassion as against
people's inability to mask their feelings
completely
(C) The ability of some people to dive to great
depths as against most people's inability
to swim long distances
(D) The psychological profile of those people
who are able to delay gratification as
against people's inability to control their
lives completely
(E) The greater lung capacity of mountain
peoples that helps them live in oxygen-poor
air as against people's inability to fly
without special apparatus
2. It can be inferred that in his discussion of
maladaptive frailties the author assumes that
(A) evolution does not favor the emergence of
adaptive characteristics over the emergence
of maladaptive ones
(B) any structure or behavior not positively
adaptive is regarded as transitory in
evolutionary theory
(C) maladaptive characteristics, once fixed,
make the emergence of other maladaptive
characteristics more likely
(D) the designation of a characteristic as being
maladaptive must always remain highly
tentative
(E) changes in the total human environment can
outpace evolutionary change
