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] The primary purpose of the passage is to
选项 A、suggest that there are not as many hunter-gathers in New Guinea as is commonly thought
B、explain why identifying New Guinean’s hunter-gathers is not a straightforward process
C、point to certain difficulties in establishing what constitute a wild plant and a wild animal
D、establish new, more relevant criteria for what constitutes a hunter-gather group
E、discuss the implication of an inappropriate definition of pastoralism
答案 B
解析 本题属于主旨题，正确答案是文章的3s版本，也就是本文的主旨句(第一句)的同义改写，本文主旨是识别出新几内亚的狩猎采集者很困难。因此选项B正确。A项本文没有讨论狩猎采集者的数量。C项对应第三句，但是通过这句话我们只能看出“野生的”这个概念难以定义是用于论证本文主旨(狩猎采集难以定义)的一个例子，属于细节。D项表述相反，本文的主旨是识别不出狩猎采集者。E项本文没有针对圈养给出定义。
