问题 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
Information in the passage suggests that which of the following may be a possible way to eliminate bias in the editing of life stories?

选项 A、Basing all inferences made about the culture on an ethnological theory
B、Eliminating all of the emotion-laden information reported by the informant
C、Translating the informant’s words into the researcher’s language
D、Reducing the number of questions and carefully specifying the content of the questions that the investigator can ask the informant
E、Reporting all of the information that the informant provides regardless of the investigator’s personal opinion about its intrinsic value

答案E

解析 The best answer is E. In the third paragraph, the passage asserts that editors made their own decisions about which elements of the Native Americans’ life stories were important. It can therefore be inferred from the passage that reporting all of an informant’s information would help eliminate bias, because editing had involved subjective judgments about the intrinsic value of the information. Choice A, C, and D can be eliminated because the passage does not attribute bias to failures in adhering to ethnological theory, to translations into the researchers’ language, or problems in the numbers and content of question posed. Choice B is not supported because the second paragraph criticizes the emotion of the report, not that of the informant, for introducing bias.
