The science of linguistics has helped to reconstruct the long road the ancestors of modern day Indians traveled in North America. At the time of the discovery of the New World, line explorers found a babel of tongues. In North and South America more languages were spoken—about 2, 200 of them—than all of Europe and Asia at that time. Despite what some early explorers and European scholars believed, there never was such a language as "American Indian"—meaning, presumably, one common language with only local dialects. Rather than one common language that linked the Indians of North America, about 550 distinct languages were spoken, and nearly every language comprised numerous dialects. A second misconception was that a language had to be written to rank as a full-fledged language. In North America, a truly written language developed only in Mexico, yet most Indian groups were able to communicate a rich unwritten tradition of poetry, oratory, and drama.
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
选项
A、Only Mexican Indians communicated through poetry, drama, and oration.
B、Most Indian languages were rich in poetry, oratory arid drama.
C、Only written Indian languages were rich in poetry, oratory, and drama.
D、North American Indians did not develop a truly written languag
答案
B
解析
从最后一句“most Indian groups were able to communicate a rich unwritten tradition of poetry, oratory, and drama.”可看出,大部分印第安人能够明白非书写形式的诗歌及戏剧等。这与B项正好吻合,所以选B项。
