This technical term has a wider meaning than the “culture” of history and literature. A humble cooking pot is as much a cultural product as is a Beethoven sonata. In ordinary speech a man of culture is a man who can speak languages other than his own, who is familiar with history, literature, philosophy, or the fine arts. In some circles that definition is still narrower. The cultured person is one who can talk about James Joyce, Scarlatti, and Picasso. To the anthropologist, however, to be human is to be cultured. The general abstract notion serves to remind us that we cannot explain acts solely in terms of the biological properties of the people concerned, their individual past experience, and the immediate situation. The past experience of other men in the form of culture enters into almost every event. Each specific culture constitutes a kind of blueprint for all of life's activities.In this paragraph, the underlined word “constitutes” means().
A、designs
B、forms
C、applies
D、proposes
【正确答案】:B
【题目解析】:段落中最后一句提到:Each specific culture constitutes a kind of blueprint for all of life's activities. 每一种特定的文化构成了一种生活活动的蓝图。constitutes在这里是动词,表示“构成”的意思。design:设计;form:构成;apply:申请;propose:建议,计划。所以B选项和constitutes意思最为相近。
