The Kalinago tribe, on the island of Dominica, is under some historic population pressure. The【C1】______majority of the West Indies’ natives died【C2】______disease, murder or suicide during the first few hundred years of colonization. The Kalinago【C3】______ as a tribe because of their location high in Dominica’s rugged area, which was less【C4】______for colonial ranches.
Today, Kalinago are among the poorest on Dominica, so many young people leave【C5】______ studies or work and never return. It has become clear【C6】______the future of the Kalinago people will be endangered if more of its【C7】______ don’t decide to stay.
One radical proposal for【C8】______ the tribe came in 2008 from then-chief Charles Williams. He suggested making marriage to other tribal members【C9】______in order to preserve the bloodline of the tribe’s estimated 1, 500 " pure" natives. 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.
But the concept of a living museum is one the tribe has【C16】______. In 2006, community members have revived dances and even some of the mother tongue through song, all while【C17】______ much-needed income from curious tourists.
【C18】______, the Kalinago’s current leader, Chief Garnet Joseph, is exploring other options lor putting【C19】______directly into the hands of his people.
In the end, the debate and experience of economic survival sheds important light on what tribal preservation【C20】______means.
【C7】
选项
A、peoples
B、individuals
C、inhabitants
D、citizens
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。句意同上。由上文可知,卡里纳古部落的年轻人纷纷外出,该句指出如果更多的人不愿留在家乡,部落的未来会岌岌可危。由此选择inhabitant“居民,居住者”表示居住在该地区的土著人。其他选项中,peoples表示“民族”,citizen意为“(城市)居民”,二者均不符合文意,故排除;individual表示与“群体”相对的“个体;个人”,不符合语境,排除。
