练习题库2022-08-02 57

问题 Traditional research has confronted only Mexican and United States interpretations of Mexican–American culture. Now we must also examine the culture as we Mexican Americans have experienced it, passing from a sovereign people compatriots with newly arriving settlers to, finally a conquered people—a charter minority on our own land.　　When the Spanish first came to Mexico, they intermarried with and absorbed the culture of the indigenous Indians. This policy of colonization through acculturation was continued when Mexico acquired Texas in the early 1800’s and brought the indigenous Indians into Mexican life and government. In the 1820’s United State citizens migrated to Texas, attracted by land suitable for cotton.　　As their numbers became more substantial, their policy of acquiring land by subduing native populations began to dominate. The two ideologies clashed repeatedly, culmination in a military conflict that led to victory for the United States. Thus, suddenly derived of our parent culture, we had to evolve uniquely Mexican-Mexican modes of thought and action in order to survive.The author’s purpose in writing this passage is primarily to _____.A.suggest the motives behind Mexican and United States intervention in TexasB.bring to light previously overlooked research on Mexican AmericansC.provide a historical perspective for a new analysis of Mexican–American cultureD.document certain early objectives of Mexican- American society

选项 A.suggest the motives behind Mexican and United States intervention in Texas
B.bring to light previously overlooked research on Mexican Americans
C.provide a historical perspective for a new analysis of Mexican–American culture
D.document certain early objectives of Mexican- American society

答案 C

解析根据文章第一段：Traditional research has confronted only Mexican ……as we Mexican Americans have experienced it，即“传统研究面对的只是墨西哥人和美国对墨美文化的诠释。现在我们也必须从我们墨西哥裔美国人的角度对所经历过的文化进行一番审视”。重新审视过去的老观点，答案选C。
