Attempts to identify New Guinean’s hunter-gatherers face the well-known diff

问题     Attempts to identify New Guinean’s hunter-gatherers face the well-known difficulty of defining what constitutes a hunter-gather group. According to the common definition, hunter-gathers are those who subsist by hunting wild animals and gathering wild plants. Yet those criteria beg numerous questions, including the issue of what constitutes “wild”， The very presence on a landscape of humans who are consumers affects food resources, blurring the lines between wild and domesticated and, hence between hunting and pastoralism, and between gathering and cultivation. Moreover, it is unclear how groups should be classified that are hunter-gatherers in their procurement strategies but that make use of pastoralism and cultivation in their consumption patterns–– subsisting, for example, by trading wild foods to neighbors in return for domesticated crops. [br] Replacement of the word “common” with which of the following results in the LEAST change in meaning to the passage?
选项 A、trite
B、mutual
C、unexceptional
D、collective
E、conventional
答案 E
解析 common的本意有两个：普通的、共同的。本文中采取的是“普通的”这一含义，与选项E对应。注意，选项C的含义有“不冒尖”之意，意为“普通的、不突出的”，和本题所要求的含义不符。
