问题     San Lorenzo, center of the ancient Mesoamerican Olmec culture, is famous for its massive stone statuary and distinctive ceramic figurines. Archaeologists disagree, however, about why Olmec-style ceramics have also been found at sites very distant from the Olmec heartland. Proponents of the mother-culture interpretation point to the statuary as indicative of unprecedented social organization and interpret the distribution of the ceramics as evidence of Olmec influence on less complex societies. According to the sister-cultures interpretation, however, these Olmec-style objects are simply a visual expression of religious beliefs shared by numerous Mesoamerican cultures whose contact with one another increased over time. The Olmec were neither solely responsible for the creation and spread of the style nor more advanced than the cultures they contacted.
It can be inferred that proponents of the sister-culture interpretation would be LEAST likely to agree with proponents of the mother-culture interpretation on which of the following issues?
选项 A、The importance of religion in Olmec society
B、The degree of contact between San Lorenzo and other Mesoamerican cultures
C、The place where Olmec-style objects discovered far from San Lorenzo were produced
D、The relative contribution the center of the Olmec culture made to the Olmec style of ceramics
E、The level of social organization needed to produce the Olmec stone statuary in San Lorenzo
答案D
解析 本题的核心在于理解姐妹文化和母亲文化之间的差异。根据文章，这两种理论之间的区别在于，母亲文化是“中央集权”，其他地方和奥尔梅克文化中心并不平等，奥尔梅克对其他地方有很大的影响；姐妹文化则是“共同繁荣”，各个地方很平等，不同地方之间没有谁支配谁一说，因此选项D正确。A项文中没提母亲文化理论中对信仰的看法。B项文中没提圣洛伦索和其他文化的沟通，只提了奥尔梅克文化和其他中美洲文化之间的交流。C项两种观点只对奥尔梅克文化对其他文化的影响程度做了对比，但是我们依然不知道这些陶瓷到底是在哪生产的。E项姐妹文化理论没有评价社会组织程度。
