The suggestion was not【C10】______, but it generated heated debate among the natives.
"There’s no way you’re going to stop marriage with people on the outside.【C11】______, it was a good gesture in this situation. If we Kalinago people want to preserve our【C12】______and culture, we should at least look at that【C13】______, " said 26-year-old Kalinago native Jacob Frederick.
Dominican anthropologist Lennox Honeychurch said, " It would be【C14】______ impossible to try imposing any kind of restrictions【C15】______what a person looks like. This is not a living museum or a zoo.

【C18】______, the Kalinago’s current leader, Chief Garnet Joseph, is exploring other options lor putting【C19】______directly into the hands of his people.

【C12】
选项
A、heredity
B、inheritance
C、heritage
D、ingredient
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:如果我们卡里纳古人想要保护自身的传统和文化,就至少应该考虑一下这个选择。对于种族的保护,除了血统之外,也应包括传统和文化,heritage意为“遗产”,也可表示国家或社会长期形成的历史、传统和特色,因此符合文意。heredity“遗传(特征)”和ingredient“(构成)要素;因素”不符合文意;inheritance意为“继承物”,通常指继承得来的财产、头衔等,排除。
