48. 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 has had considerable contact with modern, non-forager societies.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the criticism made above of the anthropologists’ 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 forager societies either dissolved or made a transition to another way of life.
(C) All anthropologists study one kind or 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.
答案是A没问题,但是OG对E的解释是strengthen,不明白,请哪位NN分析一下~!
Strengthen了Criticism
------------
文中的 Criticism:
学者所熟悉的(就是说所研究的)这些当今的 F 社会都跟其它当今非 F 社会都有接触(理解为:这种接触使这些当今 F 社会与古代 F 社会不同),所以研究这些当今 F 社会不能知道古代 F 社会是什么样子
------------
E:
除了这些学者熟悉的当今 F 社会 (即这些可能由于接触当今非 F 社会而与古代 F 社会不同的当今 F 社会)以外,其他的没有跟当今非 F 社会接触的当今 F 社会也已经跟古代 F 社会有了很大不同,所以当然加强批评了。

例子:
想知道古代中国人的意识形态
选现在比较深山老林的地区研究,以为这些地区的人的意识形态经历千百年没有什么变化
批评说:这些地区的人已经很多都在天天看 CNN, 所以不可能由他们的思想推出古中国人的思想
E:这些地区的人里没有 Dish Network 和 DirecTV 的人也已经跟古中国人的思想有很大差异(言外之意,更不要说那些已经私自安小锅还没被抓的看 CNN 之人了)
所以 E 加强了批评
