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 mentions “brushwood weirs” primarily in order to
选项
A、demonstrate that Native Americans provided certain forms of assistance to colonial settlers
B、identify a skill that allowed Native Americans to thrive in regions where colonies failed to
C、distinguish the kinds of technologies used by Native Americans from those used by colonial settlers
D、acknowledge that colonial settlers adopted certain Native American ways even though they failed in the New World
E、contrast the assumptions of British colonial settlers and Native Americans in the New World
答案
D
解析
brushwood weirs写在第二句but之前,因此属于让步的内容,优先考虑acknowledge、concede或qualify开头的选项,因此锁定选项D。同时,根据第二句可知,brushwood weirs确实是欧洲人从美洲原住民那里学来的,只是欧洲人因为没有学到美洲原住民的移动性所以失败了,这与选项D对应。A项brushwood weirs确实是欧洲人从美洲原住民那里学的,但不见得一定是美洲原住民给欧洲人提供了帮助。B项使得土著人得以繁荣的技能是“移动性”,而非brushwood weirs。C项这个技能也是美洲原住民使用的,因此不是contrast。E项assumptions在文中没有对应。
