Which of the following does NOT describe people’s understanding of universe and witchcraft?
It can be inferred from the passage that
选项
A、Puritan settlers witnessed the witchcraft of American Indians.
B、frontier refugees couldn’t admit their own defeat.
C、the early European settlers lacked the sense of security.
D、hundreds of American Indians died of the witchcraft accusation.
答案
C
解析
本题是推断题。在分析了早期欧洲移民将战败的责任归咎于巫术之后,作者于第八段末对该案件做了进一步分析:北部新英格兰人渐渐有了安全感,之后不久开始对1692年的巫术案件感到后悔。据此可以判断当年早期的欧洲定居者由于缺乏安全感,导致该案件的发生,故[C]为答案;第六段第三句指出:These tormented young women said they saw the devil in the shape of an Indian.这是她们自己的说法,不是客观事实,排除[A];[B]具有较强干扰性,第七段首句指出清教徒们认为自己是上帝的“选民”,因此只能以“巫术”来解释自己失败的原因,这是一种不能面对失败的逃避态度,但并非不承认自己失败,排除该项;第八段第三、四句指出“塞姆勒巫师案”中死亡的人数:14名妇女,五名男人处以绞刑,一人被乱石砸死,[D]与原文不符,排除。
