问题            The historian Batalla has properly concluded that although the
       Mesoamerican central plateau was militarily conquered in 1521, this conquest
       did not directly translate into a complete physical, cultural, and psychological
Line    surrender, largely because of survival strategies. Batalla’s creative three step
(5)      model of resistance, innovation, and appropriation helps explain the modern
       survival and transformation of the Nahua culture. Resistance, the first,
       includes the native refusing to use fertilizer transported from outside of the
       communities and those Nahua who burned the school that had been built for
       them on the same day it was to be inaugurated. The second mechanism,
(10)     innovation, included their use of metal drills to create hair pipe and snuff lids to
       manufacture jingles. And to appreciate the third survivalist tactic,
       appropriation, we need only consider the way in which native Nahua people
       have superficially appropriated the Catholic religion as a surface cover for their
       indigenous customs.
A main purpose of the passage is to
选项 A、chronicle the evolution of Nahua survivalist strategies from the year 1521 onward
B、critically evaluate the means of Nahua survival on the basis of their efficacy
C、suggest that Nahua interacted with their conquerors to create new technologies
D、explore the rich cultural heritage endowed the Nahua by their tradition of survival
E、apply a general schema for cultural survival to the case of the Nahua
答案E
解析
