问题            What occurred during the four centuries of attempted European conquest in
       the Americas merely extended the continuum of history into a new arena. The
       successes of these new arrivals and their descendants, consistent with the
Line    historical tendencies in human behavior, came at the expense of people whose
(5)     kinship-based tribal system still operated on communitarian, if exclusive,
       principles. Only the tribes of the southern hemisphere had become fully settled
       and had entered into their own era of empire-building. Unfortunately, the
       European people had achieved both technological and organizational superiority
       as these characteristics applied to the art of warfare whereas the tribes of the
(10)     southern hemisphere had numbers in their favor but had no time for the adoption
       of European weaponry or strategy, a situation that contrasted sharply with that
       in North America where the tribes gained considerable access to modern
       weapons and were more flexible in their strategies. The two most important
       advantages the European-Americans possessed in the north was the endless
(15)     stream of migration that more than replaced the population lost during warfare,
       and a production system centered in large and relatively secure population
       centers. [br] The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions?
选项 A、From which population centers did the migration of European conquerors issue?
B、How did the fact that the South American natives had entered a phase of empire-building affect their resistance to the European conquest?
C、What system of native governance was in effect at the time of the European conquest of the Americas?
D、Besides superior weaponry and strategy, what other advantages did the European-Americans possess in South America?
E、Whose production system was superior in South America, the Europeans’ or the conquered peoples?
答案 C
解析
