单选题DILETTANTE: SUPERFICIALITY::
单选题 Questions are based on the following passage.
The Quechua world is submerged, so to speak, in a
cosmic magma that weighs heav- ily upon it. It possesses the
rare quality ofLine being as it were interjected into the midst of
(5) antagonistic forces, which in turn implies a whole
body of social and aesthetic structures whose innermost meaning
must be the administration of energy. This gives rise
to the social organism known as the ayllu, the
(10) agrarian community that regulates the pro- curement of
food. The ayllu formed the basic structure of the whole Inca
empire. The central idea of this organization was
a kind of closed economy, just the opposite of
(15) our economic practices, which can be described as open.
The closed economy rested on the fact that the Inca
controlled both the production and consumption of
food. When one adds to this fact the reli- (20) gious
ideas noted in the Quechua texts cited by the chronicler Santa
Cruz Pachacuti, one comes to the conclusion that in the
Andean zone the margin of life was minimal and
was made possible only by the system of (25) magic the Quechua
constructed through his religion. Adversities,
moreover, were numerous, for the harvest might fail at any time
and bring starvation to millions. Hence the
(30) whole purpose of the Quechua administra- tive and
ideological system was to carry on the arduous task of
achieving abundance and staving off shortages. This kind of
structure presupposes a state of unremitting anxiety,
(35) which could not be resolved by action. The Quechua
could not do so because his pri- mordial response to problems
was the use of magic, that is, recourse to the
unconscious for the solution of external problems.
Thus (40) the struggle against the world was a
struggle against the dark depths of the Quechua's
own psyche, where the solution was found. By overcoming
the unconscious, the outer world was also vanquished.
(45) These considerations permit us to classify
Quechua culture as absolutely static or, more accurately, as
the expression of a mere state of being. Only in this way can
we under- stand the refuge that it took in the
germina- (50) tive center of the cosmic mandala as
revealed by Quechua art. The Quechua empire was
nothing more than a mandala, for it was divided into
four zones, with Cuzco in the center. Here the Quechua
ensconced himself (55) to contemplate the decline of the world
as though it were caused by an alien and
autonomous force.
