问题     Among some Native American peoples, the oral tradition of one group has sometimes influenced that of another; indeed, tracing such influence has been one major task of scholars of Native American oral literature. European influences are often regarded, understandably, as another matter. Nellie Barnes, for example, in an early stylistic study of Native American oral literature, considered only forms preceding the influence of Europeans. Yet the example of the Zuni version of the Italian folk tale “The Cock and the Mouse” suggests that, notwithstanding the opinions of scholars of Native American oral literature, European influence is not always synonymous with the waning of Native American traditions. The Zuni narrator utilized the European story as an opportunity to exercise his narrative genius, thus leaving his tradition enhanced rather than diminished by the European influence. Such examples should cause scholars researching influences on Native American oral narratives to reassess their notions of the proper domain of such studies.
According to the passage, an important focus of research for scholars of Native American oral literature has been
选项 A、tracing the influence of European tales on Native American narrative traditions
B、reconstructing the form in which Native American tales existed prior to being influenced by European narrative elements
C、documenting how Native American oral traditions have Influenced one another
D、identifying features of Native American narratives that betray European influences
E、analyzing the significance of differences that appear in particular Native American narratives after exposure to European influence
答案C
解析 本题问的是学者们一直在研究什么。因此定位到第一句，故选项C正确。A、B、D、E项涉及欧洲，与本题意图相反，不选。
