Culture is the sum total of all the traditions, customs, belief and ways bf life of a given group of human beings. In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.
To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.
People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped form of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind the Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all
This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.
The example of American Indian languages in the passage is to illustrate that ______.
选项
A、American Indian languages are not backward
B、Backward languages are borrowing from other languages
C、backward languages may possess quite complicated vocabularies
D、Western languages may also borrow from "backward" languages
答案
C
解析
这里提问的是作者使用例子的目的,回答时应当联系上下文,尤其是作者在例子之前进行的论述,因为例子正是为了证明这些论述的。A是就事论事,是对例子本身的解释;B和D都没有联系上文;C是正确答案,是例子所要进一步阐明的观点。
