Which of the following word describes the relationship between the Indians and the early settlers?
The native Americans, the people we call the "Indians" had been in America for many thousands of years before Columbus arrived in 1492. The Indians were kind to the early settlers. They taught them about the local crops like sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts. But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and more land for themselves and their families. So the Europeans started to take the land from the Indians. Naturally, when the whites started taking all the Indians’ land, the Indians started fighting back. But the whites were stronger and cleverer, slowly they pushed the Indians into those parts of the continent that he didn’t want—the parts where it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live. By 1875, the Indians were living in a special place called "reservation". But even here the whites took land from them — perhaps he wanted the wood, or perhaps the land had important minerals in it, or he even wanted to make national parks there. So even on their reservations the Indians were not safe from the whites. There are many Hollywood films about the fight between the Indians and the whites. Usually in these films the Indians are bad and the whites are good and brave. But was it really like that?
选项
A、Too cold.
B、Too hot.
C、Too dry.
D、Too rich.
答案
B
解析
后来来自欧洲的移民,来到美洲之后抢夺印第安人的土地,把他们赶到“reservation”:the partswhere it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live.A项Too cold和C项Too dry都有提及,可以排除。再看B项Toohot和D项Toorich按照常理分析,留给印第安人的地必然恶劣。但是通昕全文后,发现白人后来也去争夺保留地,因为那里有丰富木材和矿产,所以rich也可能是保留地的特征。故选B项Too hot.
