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 for 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.
【C10】
选项
A、approached
B、advocated
C、adopted
D、adapted
答案
C
解析
动词辨析题。句意为:这个建议虽然没被采纳,但在土著中引起了热议。句中该动词的受动者是suggestion,所以用adopt“采取,采纳”,表示“采纳建议”。approach“着手处理”和adapt“改造;改编”不符合文意;advocate“主张;提倡”不恰当,因为建议已经提出,所以排除。
