问题 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
According to the passage, collecting life stories can be a useful methodology because______

选项 A、life stories provide deeper insights into a culture than the hypothesizing of academics who are not members of that culture
B、life stories can be collected easily and they are not subject to invalid interpretations
C、ethnologists have a limited number of research methods from which to choose
D、life stories make it easy to distinguish between the important and unimportant features of a culture
E、the collection of life stories does not require a culturally knowledgeable investigator

答案A

解析 The best answer is A, which paraphrases the passage’s assertion that life stores “are likely to throw more light on the working of the mind and emotions than any amount of speculation from an ethnologist or ethnological theorist from another culture” (lines 40-44). Choice B is incorrect because the passage does not assess the difficulty of collecting life stories, and because the second paragraph discusses ways in which life stories became distorted. Choice C is incorrect because the passage does not specify how many research methods are available to ethnologists. Choice D can be eliminated because the third paragraph mentions distortion arising from ethnologists’ failure to recognize significant events in life stories. Choice E is incorrect because the second paragraph suggests that life stories would be more useful if collected by culturally knowledgeable investigators.
