问题     Many small cultural groups live in places far away from modern cities. Some of these tribes have never had any communication outside of their small areas. When they do contact the outside world, their lives usually change. Learning how to change without losing the best of their own cultures is a problem for them.
    One native tribe in New Guinea has a difficult situation. The people of the tribe are being pulled in two ways. Copper has been discovered under the land where they have lived for centuries. Developers want to take the copper out of the ground, to mine it. The tribe needs the money that a copper mine would bring. The problem is that the copper is directly under the most important buildings of their society. These buildings are a necessary part of their religion. How can the copper be mined without changing their religion? A group of people are trying to help the tribe to learn to communicate with the rest of the world. Cultural Survival, Inc. is the name of the group. The people are anthropologists (人类学家)，scientists who study cultures. The organization wants to teach them how to live in the modern world.
    There is another organization like this in London. It is called Survival International. One in Copenhagen is called the International Workshop for Local Affairs. These two groups have joined with Cultural Survival, Inc. to help people become used to modern culture.
    These organizations work with another kind of problem, too. Sometimes a central government does not consider the needs of local people in developing new projects. Often they suffer a great loss and Cultural Survival, Inc. helps them. Cultural Survival, Inc. and its sister organizations also give advice about tourism. The tourist business can cause problems. Many small societies need to earn money, but a large group of visitors can hurt their culture. Also the local people could use the help of Cultural Survival, Incorporated.
In contact with the outside world, a small cultural group should______.
选项 A、learn something while keeping something of its own
B、remain what they used to be
C、change itself as much as it can
D、be careful in order not to be cheated
答案A
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问在与外界交往时，小文化部落应该怎样做。文章第一段指出，许多小文化部落居住在远离现代化城市的地方，其中一些部落从未跟它们狭小区域之外的世界有过交往。当它们跟外界确有接触时，它们的生活通常会发生变化。学会如何在变化过程中不失去它们的文化中最好的东西是它们所面临的一个问题。因此，本题的正确答案应是A“在保留自己的某些文化特色之外应该学习一些新东西”。
