【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，大多数印度女人的眉毛中间都戴着红点，这种做法主要与印度教有关，它代表的是第三只眼，可以时时提醒信徒要尊敬上帝。

现在眉心红点更多的是作为装饰品使用。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“InIndia,mostofthewomenwearareddotbetweentheireyebrows.Whileitisgenerallytakenasanindicatoroftheirmarital（婚姻的）status,thepracticeisprimarilyrelatedtotheHindu（印度教的）religion.”在印度，大多数女性的眉毛上都有一个红点。

虽然这通常被认为是他们婚姻状况的一个指标，但这种做法主要与印度教有关。

可知这种做法主要与印度教有关，所以印度人前额戴红点是展示他们的宗教信仰。

故选C。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第二段可知，印度传统上认为人有第三只眼。

以及“Assuch，thedotservesasaconstantremindertokeepGodinthefrontofabeliever'sthoughts．”因此，点作为一个持续的提醒，以保持神在信徒的思想面前。

所以第三眼在印度教传统中的重要性是要尊重上帝。

故选D。

佩戴宾蒂帽与其说是一种宗教习俗，不如说是一种时尚宣言。

可知，眉心红点现在更多的被用作装饰品。

故选A．

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
