问题 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage? [br] Which of the following is most similar to the actions of nineteenth-century ethnologists in their editing of the life stories of Native Americans?
选项 A、A witness in a jury trial invokes the Fifth Amendment in order to avoid relating personally incriminating evidence.
B、A stockbroker refuses to divulge the source of her information on the possible future increase in a stock’s value.
C、A sports announcer describes the action in a team sport with which he is unfamiliar.
D、A chef purposely excludes the special ingredient from the recipe of his prizewinning dessert.
E、A politician fails to mention in a campaign speech the similarities in the positions held by her opponent for political office and by herself.
答案 C
解析 The best answer is C. Lines 22-23 suggest that ethnologists “rarely spent enough time with the tribes they were observing.” Ethnologists who did not spend enough time with tribes they were observing were unlikely to be sufficiently familiar with the culture and customs of those tribes. Such ethnologists nevertheless attempted to describe the lives of tribal members. This attempt can be seen as analogous to the announcer’s attempt to describe the actions in a team sport with which he is unfamiliar. Choice A, B, and D can be eliminated because the passage does not suggest ethnologists deliberately withheld information. Choice E is incorrect because the passage does not mention any common ideas or positions held by both the ethnologists and the Native Americans.
