问题 Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage? [br] The author of the passage refers to Native American people in the second paragraph in order to provide an example of______
选项 A、the ability of membership in groups based on shared ancestry and culture to satisfy an essential human need.
B、how ethnic feelings have both motivated and been strengthened by political activity
C、how the Civil Rights movement can help promote solidarity among United States ethnic groups
D、how participation in the political system has helped to improve a group’s economic situation
E、the benefits gained from renewed study of ethnic history and culture
答案 B
解析 This question asks you to determine why the author uses the actions of Native American people as an example. To answer it, you must decide what the phrase “this process” in line 17 means. The best answer is B because the “process” of ethnicity mentioned in line 17 is described generally in the first paragraph. The reference to Native American people provides a specific example, in terms of political activity, of that process. Specifically, in lines 20-24, the author states that Native Americans’ political activities, which were inspired by the Civil Rights movement, have in turn increased interest in Native American history and culture. Choice A can be eliminated because the discussion of Native American people is not concerned with the concept of essential human need, which is mentioned in the first paragraph in the first definition of ethnicity. Choice C can be eliminated because the Civil Rights movements is mentioned in the second paragraph because of its encouragement of Native American participation in politics, rather than its promoting of solidarity among groups. Both D and E are incorrect because no mention is made of improvement in Native Americans’ economic situation or of the benefits gained from studying ethnic history and culture.
