Sioux names were a language unto themselves, laden with descriptive, allusive, or even magical meaning. A Sioux baby was named soon after birth--usually by a medicine man or a paternal relative--and the entire village participated in the occasion. The infant might be named for an animal, for a physical phenomenon such as thunder that occurred on the day of the birth, or even for a brave deed that once had been performed by the giver of the name. A woman generally kept the name she received at birth, but a man often replace his original name with a new one that celebrated a personal act of valor, recalled an encounter with an unusual animal, or perhaps was inspired by a dream. However, a man who had a distinguishing characteristic was forever known by an apposite nickname, such as Big Hand. Because Sioux names almost always were based on something objective, they could easily be rendered as pictographs-frequently with a line connecting visual representations of the name and a human head to signify ownership. Below are some Sioux signatures.
What most likely follows this passage?
选项
A、Pictures of Sioux naming ceremonies.
B、Graphs of population increases among the Sioux.
C、Explanations of Sioux nicknames.
D、Pictographs of Sioux names.
答案
D
解析
文章最后两句开始提到苏人名字写法的特别之处,尤其最后一句“Below are some Sioux signatures”意为“以下是一些苏人的签名”,由此可知,后面应该向我们展示一些苏人名字的图案例子,因此选D。
