D. They wanted to find a better place to live in
题目解答
答案
B. The reasons are unknown.
解析
本题考查对吉普赛人迁徙历史背景的了解。题目要求判断吉普赛人祖先离开家园的原因。解题关键在于明确历史记载的模糊性:虽然吉普赛人以游牧生活著称,但其祖先最初迁徙的具体原因并未被历史文献明确记载,因此正确选项需体现“原因不明”的核心结论。
选项分析
选项A:They liked traveling
吉普赛人以游牧文化闻名,但“喜欢旅行”是其文化特征的结果,而非最初迁徙的动因。若祖先因“喜欢旅行”主动离开,后续迁徙会更易考证,但历史记录中并无明确证据支持此说法。
选项B:The reasons are unknown
历史学家对吉普赛人祖先迁徙的原因存在争议。主流观点认为,他们可能因战乱、经济因素或社会压力离开印度次大陆,但具体原因未被完全证实。因此,选项B直接对应“原因不明”的客观事实。
选项C:They were driven out of their homes
部分学者推测吉普赛人可能因战乱被驱逐,但缺乏直接证据。若此选项成立,历史文献应有更多关联记载,而现有资料无法完全支持这一结论。
选项D:They wanted to find a better place to live in
若为“寻找更好居住地”,迁徙路线应更符合逻辑,但吉普赛人早期迁徙路径复杂且分散,难以用“寻找更好生活”单一动机解释。
综上,历史记录的模糊性使选项B成为唯一合理答案。
