__________

A[A] German-born British scholar Max Müller concluded that the Rig-Veda of ancient India-the oldest preserved body of literature written in an Indo-European language-reflected the earliest stages of an Indo-European mythology. M ller attributed all later myths to misunderstandings that arose from the picturesque terms in which early peoples described natural phenomena.
B[B] The myth and ritual theory, as this approach came to be called, was developed most fully by British scholar Jane Ellen Harrison. Using insight gained from the work of French sociologist Emile Durkheim, Harrison argued that all myths have their origin in collective rituals of a society.
C[C] Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud held that myths—like dreams—condense the material of experience and represent it in symbols.
D[D] This approach can be seen in the work of British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor. In Primitive Culture (1871), Tylor organized the religious and philosophical development of humanity into separate and distinct evolutionary stages.
E[E] The studies made in this period were consolidated in the work of German scholar Christian Gottolob Heyne, who was the first scholar to use the Latin term myths (instead of fibula, meaning “fable”) to refer to the tales of heroes and gods.
F[F] German scholar Karl Otfried M ller followed this line of inquiry in his Prolegomena to a Scientific Mythology, 1825).

参考答案

参考解析：

本题考核的知识点是：上下文内容的衔接+段落主题。本题空格出现在第十一段中。上文提到，受英国学者史密斯的影响，弗莱齐开始相信很多神话源自古代农耕民族的宗教仪式，因为对于这些民族来说，植物一年四季的循环生长至关重要。下文提到，这种方式在英国人类学家拉德克利夫·布朗所谓的结构——功能主义里达到了极端的形式。他认为每一个神话都暗示着一种祭祀，而每一种祭祀又体现了一个神话。可见该段主题内容是关于祭祀与神话之间的关系。［B］项出现了关键词rituals，指出神话和祭祀理论在英国学者那里得到充分发展，她指出所有的神话源自于一个社会的全部祭祀。
