单选题 The Navajo Indians of the southwestern United States _____ for their sand painting, also called dry painting.

A、 noted
B、 are noted
C、 to be noted
D、 have noted

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】分析：考点是固定搭配。空格位于句子的谓语处，答案B 。be noted for 固定句型，意为：因...而著名。 (A) noted 及物动词，后面不需要介词来接宾语。而已放在此逻辑语意也不对； (C) 动词不定式不能作谓语； (D) have noted 同理A。参考译文：美国南部的Navajo印第安人以其沙绘而闻名，那也称之为干绘。
