Passage Two

 听力原文

    (12) [The idea to study the American Indian tribe, Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in 1984, when he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.] He contacted a tribe member through a social worker who worked with the tribesmen in Mexico. At first, the tribe member, named Gonzalez, was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras, Gonzalez agreed to help. (13) [He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary.] Copeland says: “Thanks to him, the Tarahumaras understood what our mission was and started trusting us.” 

    (14) [Entering the world of the Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.] To reach their homeland, he must drive two and a half days from Houston, Texas. He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribesmen can’t easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship. The Tarahumaras, who don’t believe in accumulating wealth, take the food and share it among themselves.

    For Copeland, the experience has not only been academically satisfying, but also has enriched his life in several ways. “I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard, traditional life, which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition,” he says. “I experience the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about. (15) [I see a lot of beauty in their sense of sharing and concern for each other.”]

15. What impresses James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe?

解析：B。录音结尾，科普兰在总结自身体会时说到，他从当地人的互相分享和彼此关心中（their sense of sharing and concern for each other）看到了许多美好。B项是对此内容的同义转述，故为正确答案。

错项排除：录音中提到了冈萨雷斯对科普兰的帮助，也说到科普兰将一些不易获得的物品送给塔拉乌马拉人，之后说到当地人接受了这些物品并互相分享，但并没有提到当地人感激外来人的帮助，故A项可排除。录音中，科普兰提到当地人是排斥科技的（I see people rejecting technology），C项与此内容相反，故可排除。录音中只讲到当地人不主张积攒财富（don’t believe in accumulating wealth），没有提到他们为自己创造财富的观念，故D项可排除。
