Meggers argued that agriculture depends on extracting nutrients from soils into edible crops, so premodern societies in Amazonia could never grow large because underlying soils are impoverished. In Meggers’ view the population size that a culture could reach depended upon the agricultural potential of its environment. Meggers accepted that fish and turtle resources of the Amazon made possible the long riverside villages the explorer Orellana described in 1542, but she dismissed as exaggerated Carvajal’s estimates of tens of thousands of people in those settlements, and she was sure those settlements did not have inland counterparts. Supporting this point, the Omagua, a riverbank people and one of the greatest chiefdoms observed by Carvajal as a member of Orellana’s expedition, regarded hinterland forests as unpopulated wilderness.
From the passage it can be inferred that Omagua depended on
选项
A、overland transport to communicate between villages
B、foraging inland to obtain foodstuffs not available locally
C、some form of fertilization to boost agricultural production
D、fish and turtles for at least part of their diet
E、trade with other peoples for some raw materials
答案
D
解析
细节题。定位点在题干中的Omagua,文中对Omagua的描述在最后一句,说他们是riverbank people,所以他们具有riverbank居民的特征。在文中第三句中提到,河边村庄靠鱼和乌龟为食,所以答案选D。D选项说得非常严谨,没有说他们只靠鱼和乌龟为食,而是说他们会吃鱼和乌龟。
