The【C1】______majority of the West Indies’ natives died【C2】______disease, murder or suicide during the first few hundred years of colonization. The Kalinago【C3】______as a tribe because of their location high in Dominica’s rugged area, which was less【C4】______for colonial ranches.

One radical proposal for【C8】______ the tribe came in 2008 from then-chief Charles Williams. He suggested making marriage to other tribal members【C9】______ in order to preserve the bloodline of the tribe’s estimated 1 , 500 " pure" natives. The suggestion was not【C10】______, but it generated heated debate among the natives.
"There’s no way you’re going to stop marriage with people on the outside.【C11】______, it was a good gesture in this situation. If we Kalinago people want to preserve our【C12】______and culture, we should at least look at that【C13】______," said 26-year-old Kalinago native Jacob Frederick.
Dominican anthropologist Lennox Honeychurch said, " It would be【C14】______ impossible to try imposing any kind of restrictions【C15】______what a person looks like. This is not a living museum or a zoo.
But the concept of a living museum is one the tribe has【C16】______. In 2006 , community members have revived dances and even some of the mother tongue through song, all while【C17】______much-needed income from curious tourists.
【C18】______, the Kalinago’s current leader, Chief Garnet Joseph, is exploring other options for putting【C19】______directly into the hands of his people.

选项
A、heredity
B、inheritance
C、heritage
D、ingredient
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。句意为:如果我们卡里纳古人想要保护自身的传统和文化,就至少应该考虑一下这个选择。对于种族的保护,除了血统之外,也应包括传统和文化,heritage意为“遗产”,也可表示国家或社会长期形成的历史、传统和特色,因此符合文意。heredity“遗传(特征)”和ingredient“(构成)要素,因素”均不符合文意;inheritance意为“继承物”,通常指继承得来的财产、头衔等,排除。
