问TPO7第二篇阅读中的一题

往事不如烟UID: 2846875

Certainly, in trying to explain the Roman phenomenon, one would have to place great emphasis on this almost animal instinct for the territorial imperative. Roman priorities lay in the organization, exploitation, and defense of their territory. In all probability it was the fertile plain of Latium, where the Latins who founded Rome originated, that created the habits and skills of landed settlement, landed property, landed economy, landed administration, and a land-based society. From this arose the Roman genius for military organization and orderly government. In turn, a deep attachment to the land, and to the stability which rural life engenders, fostered the Roman virtues: gravitas, a sense of responsibility, peitas, a sense of devotion to family and country, and iustitia, a sense of the natural order.

Paragraph 3 suggests which of the following about the people of Latium?
○Their economy was based on trade relations with other settlements.
○They held different values than the people of Rome.
○Agriculture played a significant role in the society.
○They possessed unusual knowledge of animal instincts

答案是选C，可以从文中的哪里看出来啊~~land 的意思就是精通于agriculture吗~~
另外真题详解的书里面答案又是选的A，也不知道是啥理由的~~
请高手指教一下~~谢谢

1# 往事不如烟

"In all probability it was the fertile plain of Latium, where the Latinswho founded Rome originated, that created the habits and skills oflanded settlement, landed property, landed economy, landedadministration, and a land-based society"

没看到全文，但看这个段落，我觉得答案不会是A可能是C
你把上面我摘的那句话翻译理解下，大意就是latium，作为Rome创建者latines的起源地，是建立在肥沃的土壤上，因此创造了（罗马人）啥啥啥的习惯，这些习惯都是与土地密切相关。你这样想，是农业型社会和土地关系紧密还是贸易型社会？
对外贸易靠的是与外界的关系，而本段强调土地作为财产的重要性，自然可以推断，那时latium是以农业为基础的社会。

个人理解，仅供参考
