George Milner cites three primary problems with the labeling of Cahokia, the large archaeological site by the Mississippi River, as a state rather than a chiefdom. First, finds at Cahokia are essentially similar to finds at other Mississippian chiefdoms, except that the amount of earth moved in building the mounds at Cahokia was greater than elsewhere. Second, fewer people lived at Cahokia than is commonly estimated (Milner estimates that there were only a few thousand inhabitants, more common estimates are 10,000 or 20,000 inhabitants); therefore, extensive taxes, trade, and tribute were not necessary to support them. Finally, while there is evidence of extensive earth movement, craftwork, trade, and elite at Cahokia, this does not indicate that Cahokia was politically centralized, economically specialized, or aggressively expansionistic.
The primary purpose of the passage is to
选项
A、underscore a characterization
B、outline a challenge
C、point out an ambiguity
D、discuss an oversimplification
E、define a category
答案
B
解析
本文为总分结构,主旨句是第一句。因此,本文的主旨便是乔治.米尔纳通过提出问题来反驳“认为卡霍基亚是国家而非酋邦”这一观点,所以选项B正确。A项本文的重点在于乔治.米尔纳对这个观点的质疑,而非乔治.米尔纳自己的观点。C项文中未提及。D项文中未提及。E项文中未提及。
