some anthropologists study modern-day societies of foragers in an effort to learn about our ancient ancestors who were also foragers.A flaw in this strategy is that forager societies are extremely varied.Indeed, any forager society with which anthropologists are familiar with has had considerable contact with modern non-forager societies.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the criticism made above of the anthropolgists' strategy?

A) All forager societies throughout history have had a number of important features in common that are absent from other types of societies.

B) Most ancient foragers either dissolved or made a transition to another way of life

C) All anthropologists study one kind of another of modern-day society

D) Many anthropologists who study modern-day forager societies do not draw inferences about ancient societies on the basis of their studies

E) Even those modern-day forager societies that have not had significant contact with modern societies are importantly different from ancient forager societies.

看不懂，有人可以解释一下，没有看出结构

原文给出：

1。人类学家以研究 modern-day societies of foragers ---》ancient societies of foragers 

2。这样的研究方法缺点一为forager societies are extremely varied.

3。这样的研究方法缺点二为modern-day societies of foragers 与modern non-forager societies有相关

要求：削弱the anthropolgists' strategy

解法：只要选项中与2或3中任何一点相反就可以达成

所以A就可以了

为什么我总是觉得这个题目是要削弱the criticism ，而强调the

anthropolgists' strategy呢？

晕啊

第二和第三句合起来反对第一句。因为二中提到THE FLAW，三说INDEED。。。。所以本句其实是找第一句的支持，第二三句的相反。第一句的结论“我们的祖先也是抢劫者”,第二句讲这个策略的一个缺点是forager societies变化极端，第三句讲确实，（any forager society with which anthropologists are familiar with） has had considerable contact with modern non-forager societies.括号里的主语，是支持第二句的。所以，
some anthropologists study modern-day societies of foragers in an effort to learn about our ancient ancestors who were also foragers.A flaw in this strategy is that forager societies are extremely varied.Indeed, any forager society with which anthropologists are familiar with has had considerable contact with modern non-forager societies.

A) All forager societies throughout history have had a number of important features in common that are absent from other types of societies.讲所有历史上的forager societies有很多与重要共同特征，这是其他社会没有的。

B) Most ancient foragers either dissolved or made a transition to another way of life大多数ancient foragers分解并转化成另一种生活方式。反对第一句。

C) All anthropologists study one kind of another of modern-day society明显不相关

D) Many anthropologists who study modern-day forager societies do not draw inferences about ancient societies on the basis of their studies很多研究现代forager societies的学者没有就古代社会基于他们的研究下定论。

E) Even those modern-day forager societies that have not had significant contact with modern societies are importantly different from ancient forager societies.基本可以看出这个是支持第二三句反对第一句的。

所以，答案我认为是A

明手级顶

我觉得是D

选项和大家看的一样

就是题目，给我的感觉就是单纯的要 the most weaken the critism made above of anthropolgists' strategy

the critism无非就是觉得由现在推过去的有缺点

如果人类学家并没有由现在去推导过去，那么他们的批评就没有意义。。。

答案呢？楼主

答案是A。

楼主的感觉是对的。题意的确是要weaken批评者的批评，strengthen一些人类学家的

做法。

一些人类学家想通过研究现代的societies of foragers 来研究我们的祖先。但是这

个研究方法有两个瑕疵：

1、一个是forager societies是各不相同的，也就是研究现代的forager societies

并不一定能够了解祖先的生活。

2、第二个是人类学家所研究的现代forager societies都和现代的非forager

societies有过一定的接触。也就是说，可能已经受到了其他类型社会的影响。

题意要求weaken以上这些对人类学家研究方法的批评，根据以上分析可以看出，只要

和以上两个指责相反就可以了。

A：历史上所有的forager societies都有一些其他类型的社会所没有的共同点。和第

一个批评相反，削弱了第一个批评

B：古代的forager societies没有被其他生活方式同化的或者是转化成其他生活方式

的。这个与第二种批评相关，但是指的是古代的，因此不能削弱第二个批评。

C：All anthropologists study one kind of another of modern-day society与以

上两种批评不相关。

D：许多研究现代forager societies的人类学家基于他们的研究不能得出对古代的推

论。这是在weaken人类学家的研究方法，加强了对于研究方法的质疑。不符合题意的

要求。

E：即使那些没有和现代社会有明显接触的现代forager societies依然和古代的

forager societies不同。这加强了第二个批评，不符合题意要求。
