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 author of the passage draws conclusions about the fur trade in North America from all of the following sources EXCEPT
选项
A、Cartier’s accounts of trading with Native Americans
B、a seventeenth-century account of European settlements
C、a sixteenth-century account written by a sailing vessel captain
D、archaeological observations of sixteenth-century Native American sites
E、a sixteenth-century account of Native Americans in what is now New England
答案

Supporting idea
This question asks about the sources mentioned by the author of the passage. Answering the question correctly requires determining which answer option is NOT referred to in the passage as a source of evidence regarding the North American fur trade.
A Correct. The passage mentions Cartier’s voyage but does not refer to Carrier’s accounts of his trading.
B In the first paragraph, Nicolas Denys’s 1672 account of European settlements provides evidence of fur trading by sixteenth-century European fishing crews.
C In the second paragraph, a Portuguese captain’s records provide evidence that the fur trade was going on for some time prior to his 1501 account.
D In the first paragraph, archaeologists’ observations of sixteenth-century Native American sites provide evidence of fur trading at that time.
E In the second paragraph, a 1524 account provides evidence that Native Americans living in what is now New England had become selective about which European goods they would accept in trade for furs.
The correct answer is A.
