阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
According to historical documents, the forefathers of the Naxi people were closely related to a tribe called “Maoniu Yi” in the Han Dynasty，“Maoniu Yi” in the Jin Dynasty and “Moxie Yi” in the Tang Dynasty.
Between the early 10th century and the middle of the 13th century, production in the Lijiang area experienced marked changes, as agriculture replaced livestock (家畜)breeding as the main occupation of the people. Scores of agricultural, handicraft, mineral and livestock products were turned out, and the country presented a picture of prosperity. During that period, a number of slave­owning groups in Ninglang，Lijiang and Weixi counties gradually grew into a feudal manorial lord caste(世袭封建庄园领主制)．
In 1278 the Yuan Dynasty established Lijiang Prefecture(自治州)representing the imperial court in Yunnan Province. This resulted in closer links between the Lijiang area and the centre of the empire.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Naxi people，named Mude, was made chief of Lijiang Prefecture, exercising control over the Naxi and other ethnic groups nearby. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the chiefs from the Mu family kept taxes and tribute(贡品)flowing to the Ming court in the form of silver and grain. The Ming, in turn, relied on the Mu family as the mainstay for the control of the people of various ethnic groups in northwestern Yunnan Province.
Later, with the development of the productive forces, buying, selling and renting of land began to take place in the Naxi areas，marking the beginning of a landlord economy.

A．livestock breeding B．agriculture

C. the Yuan Dynasty D. the Ming Dynasty

3．During the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family kept taxes and tribute flowing to the Ming court in the form of ________.
A. gold and silver B. livestock and gold

4．What marked the beginning of the landlord economy?
A. A feudal manorial lord caste.
B. The appearance of buying, selling and renting of land.
C. The rule of Mu family in Lijiang.
D. The establishment of Lijiang Prefecture.
答案：B　从文章最终一段可知，the landlord economy的开头是以“buying, selling and renting of land began to take place”为标志的。
5．What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Mu family
B. The history of Lijiang Prefecture
C. The history of the Naxi Ethnic Group
D. The rulers of Naxi
答案：C　通读全文可知，文章主要讲了纳西族的历史。
