解析 文章第一段第一、二句话说,一半儿的巴西人来自于非洲,一半儿的委内瑞拉人也来自非洲。第四句话说"It was these men and women of African descent conquered the wilderness of the Americas,clearing and working in countless farms and plantations,founding and opening innumerable mines of iron or precious metals"。。随后具体说明了这些非洲人的情况。可见,第一段主要是告诉我们,非洲人为美洲的文明做出了贡献,这与C符合。A、B和D只是第一段中提到的细节,不能表达第一段的主要意思。
