Anthropology is the study of human beings as creatures of society. It fastens its attention upon those physical characteristics and industrial techniques, those conventions and values, which distinguish one community from all others that belong to a different tradition.
The distinguishing mark of anthropology among the social sciences is that it includes for serious study other societies than our own. For its purposes and social regulation of mating and reproduction is as significant as our own, though it may be that of the Sea Dyaks, and have no possible historical relation to that of our civilization. To the anthropologist, our customs and those of a new Guinea tribe are two possible social schemes for dealing with a common problem, and in so far as he remains an anthropologist he is bound to avoid any weighting of one in favor of the other. He is interested in human behavior, not as it is shaped by one tradition, our own, but as it has been shaped by any tradition whatsoever. He is interested in a wide range of custom that is found in various cultures, and his object is to understand the way in which these cultures change and differentiate, the different forms through which they express themselves and the manner in which the customs of peoples function in the lives of the individuals.
Now custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great moment. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and belief, and the very great varieties it may manifest.
According to the passage, we can say that anthropology______.
选项
A、can deal with human beings as one group of the creatures in the living world
B、can reveal an enormous diversity of traditions
C、can provide insights into the relationship between human beings and nature
D、can distinguish the human race from other creatures
答案
B
解析
本题是一道综合全文内容类问题。利用浏览式阅读法,我们发现文章第一段指出,人类学的研究对象是作为社会人的人,它主要研究使一种文化社会传统区别于其他文化社会传统的物质特征、工业技术、习俗和价值观。文章最后一句又总结指出,最重要的事实是:习俗在人的体验和信仰中发挥决定性作用,呈现出丰富多样性。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“可以揭示非常丰富多样的文化传统”。
