GRE官方题库原题87

Twenty years ago, Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of Tertia. Using an observation-centered approach to studying Tertian culture, he concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared by an entire village rather than by their own biological parents. Recently another anthropologist, Dr. Karp, visited the group of islands that includes Tertia and used the interview-centered method to study child-rearing practices. In the interviews that Dr. Karp conducted with children living in this group of islands, the children spent much more time talking about their biological parents than about other adults in the village. Dr. Karp decided that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture must be invalid. Some anthropologists recommend that to obtain accurate information on Tertian child-rearing practices, future research on the subject should be conducted via the interview-centered method.

Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

题目翻译

20年前，知名人类学F博士访问了T岛，并从他的观察中得出结论：T岛的孩子是由整个村子抚养长大而不是他们的亲生父母。然而，另一位人类学家K最近对生活在T岛以及周边一些岛屿的儿童采访显示，他们在谈话中谈到他们双亲的时间远远多于谈到村庄里其他成年人。K博士的这次研究证明F博士关于T岛乡村文化的结论是错的，一些人类学家建议要想以进一步获取准确的T岛的儿童成长规律，未来应该采用采访为主的方法。

题目分析

1. 谈论更多的亲生父母不能证明他们是由亲生父母抚养的。也许是他们和亲生父母在一起的时间比较长;也可能是访谈时亲生父母恰好在旁边等。

2. 即使K博士的研究是正确的，也不能证明F博士的研究错误。因为在20年之中可能T岛上居民的抚养习惯已发生了变化。也许因为先进文化的传播，T岛目前的居民都已是父母抚养，而20年前并非这样。

3. 即使F博士20年前的研究是错误的，也不能说明交谈法比观察法更好。该例只是孤例，K博士的成功或许是其先进的研究仪器所致，而非更好的研究方法;两种方法或许各有好处，共同使用也许才是研究之道。
