Exactly when in the early modern era Native Americans began exchanging animal furs with Europeans for European-made goods is uncertain. What is fairly certain, even though they left no written evidence of having done so, is that the first Europeans to conduct such trade during the modern period were fishing crews working the waters around Newfoundland. Archaeologists had noticed that sixteenth-century Native American sites were strewn with iron bolts and metal pins. Only later, upon reading Nicolas Denys’s 1672 account of seventeenth-century European settlements in North America, did archaeologists realize that sixteenth-century European fishing crews had dismantled and exchanged parts of their ships for furs.
By the time Europeans sailing the Atlantic coast of North America first documented the fur trade, it was apparently well underway. The first to record such trade—the captain of a Portuguese vessel sailing from Newfoundland in 1501—observed that a Native American aboard the ship wore Venetian silver earrings. Another early chronicler noted in 1524 that Native Americans living along the coast of what is now New England had become selective about European trade goods: they accepted only knives, fishhooks, and sharp metal. By the time Cartier sailed the Saint Lawrence River ten years later, Native Americans had traded with Europeans for more than thirty years, perhaps half a century. [br] The passage suggests which of the following about the sixteenth-century Native Americans who traded with Europeans on the coast of what is now called New England?
选项
A、By 1524 they had become accustomed to exchanging goods with Europeans.
B、They were unfamiliar with metals before encountering Europeans.
C、They had no practical uses for European goods other than metals and metal implements.
D、By 1524 they had become disdainful of European traders because such traders had treated them unfairly in the past.
E、By 1524 they demanded only the most prized European goods because they had come to realize how valuable furs were on European markets.
答案
A
解析
Inference
The question asks about what is implied in the passage. The Native Americans trading with Europeans on the coast of what is now called New England are discussed in the 1524 chronicles mentioned in the second paragraph. The passage indicates that these Native Americans had become selective about which European goods they would accept in trade, which suggests they had become accustomed to trading with Europeans.
A Correct. By the time the chronicle was written, the Native Americans were familiar enough with trade to be able to specify which European goods they would accept.
B Although the Native Americans chose to trade furs for European metal goods, the passage does not imply they were unfamiliar with any metals prior to encountering Europeans.
C The passage does not suggest why Native Americans preferred certain goods over others.
D The passage does not attribute disdain for European traders to Native Americans.
E There is no indication in the passage that Native Americans were aware of furs’ value in European markets.
The correct answer is A.
