Every group has a culture, however 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 back groups as undeveloped. 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. They differ from Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this aspect, two things are to be noted. First, all languages seen to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence of by borrowing them from other languages or adapting them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from the West, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness("this" and "that"). But some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.
Every group of human being has______.
选项
A、its own set of ideas, beliefs and ways of life
B、an extremely complex and delicate language
C、its own elegant music, literature, and other arts
D、the process of growing crops or raising animals
答案
A
解析
根据文章第一段第一句“Every group has a culture,however uncivilized it mayseem to us.”可知,每个群体都有其自身的文化。也许,在我们看来,有的可能还是不够完善。也就是每个群体都有自己的观念、信仰及生活方式。据此判断,答案是A。
