求问新GRE六套题上的单空选择题
Onondaga Lake in Syracuse,New York,has historical significance as the site of the founding of the Haudenosaunee(Iroquois)Confederacy and literary _____as the setting for some of the legends of Hiawatha.
A.acumen
B.pragmatism
C.fortitude
D.import
E.relativism
答案选的D,我不理解啊,我怎么想都想不到D上去.

答案

as the site of the founding 对应 as the setting for some of the legends ,很明显,这是一个通过and连接的并列结构的长难句,其实也算不上长,不过有点难.historical significance 相对应于literacy import.我个人感觉,该题的确有些牵强,那是因为我们一直用中国思维,有些题不必拘泥,会有些许的文化差异是你不太容易理解.
