问题 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
It can be inferred from the passage that a characteristic of the ethnological research on Native Americans conducted during the nineteenth century was the use of which of the following?
选项 A、Investigators familiar with the culture under study
B、A language other than the informant’s for recording life stories
C、Life stories as the ethnologist’s primary source of information
D、Complete transcriptions of informants’ descriptions of tribal beliefs
E、Stringent guidelines for the preservation of cultural data
答案B
解析 The best answer is B. Lines 30-32 state that “Native Americans recognized that the essence of their lives could not be communicated in English,” that is, in the language of the ethnologists recording the life stories. Since this statement supports the idea that “much was inevitably lost,” it can be inferred that the informants used a language other than that used to record their life stories. Choice A is incorrect because, in the second paragraph, the investigators are criticized for lacking familiarity with the cultures they studies. Choice C is incorrect because ethnologists recorded life stories to “supplement their own field observations” (lines 7-8). Choice D is incorrect because the passage indicates that life stories were edited; choice E is incorrect because the passage provides no information about guidelines used by the researchers.
