问题            What occurred during the four centuries of attempted European conquest in
       the Americas merely extended the continuum of history into a new arena. The
       successes of these new arrivals and their descendants, consistent with the
Line    historical tendencies in human behavior, came at the expense of people whose
(5)     kinship-based tribal system still operated on communitarian, if exclusive,
       principles. Only the tribes of the southern hemisphere had become fully settled
       and had entered into their own era of empire-building. Unfortunately, the
       European people had achieved both technological and organizational superiority
       as these characteristics applied to the art of warfare whereas the tribes of the
(10)     southern hemisphere had numbers in their favor but had no time for the adoption
       of European weaponry or strategy, a situation that contrasted sharply with that
       in North America where the tribes gained considerable access to modern
       weapons and were more flexible in their strategies. The two most important
       advantages the European-Americans possessed in the north was the endless
(15)     stream of migration that more than replaced the population lost during warfare,
       and a production system centered in large and relatively secure population
       centers. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that the author views the European conquest of America as which of the following?
选项 A、Unfortunate on the whole, but surprising in historical terms
B、Less disruptive in South America
C、Too ethically complex to be easily judged
D、Unexpected, given the history of similar conquests in Europe
E、Tragic but inevitable, given historical circumstances
答案 E
解析
