One of the reasons why many early British colonies in North America failed amid the New World’s abundance was that the settlers’ mindset prevented them from living like the native inhabitants. From Native Americans, the settlers learned such skills as building brushwood weirs to trap fish, but they did not adopt the real key to success: mobility. The whole intellectual foundation of European civilization was fixity—a worldview profoundly different from that of Native Americans, who moved in response to changing food resources. Settlers were drawn to North America by tales of its extraordinary abundance, not realizing that abundance is seasonal. Culture and ecological knowledge allowed Native Americans to exploit different food sources at different time of year. [br] The author suggests which of the following about the early British colonies in North America that failed?
选项
A、Their inhabitants’ worldview was deeply affected with native people and practices
B、Their inhabitants experienced critical food shortages in part because their culture hindered their ability to exploit seasonally available resources.
C、Their longevity would have been greater had the inhabitants adopted more of the fishing technologies used by Native Americans
答案
B
解析
综合全文可知,英国殖民者在资源方面失败的原因之一是没有像美洲原住民那样利用资源的季节性,因此选项B正确。
