标题: 新GRE阅读理解36套每日讨论--43（群178674184） [打印本页] 作者: 普渡哥 时间: 2011-10-19 02:44 标题: 新GRE阅读理解36套每日讨论--43（群178674184） Throughout human history there have been many stringent taboos concerning watching other people eat or eating in the presence of others. There have been attempts to explain these taboos in terms of 5 inappropriate social relationships either between those who are involved and those who are not simultaneously involved in the satisfaction of a bodily need, or between those already satiated and those who appear to be shamelessly gorging. Undoubtedly such elements 10 exist in the taboos, but there is an additional element with a much more fundamental importance. In prehistoric times, when food was so precious and the on-lookers so hungry, not to offer half of the little food one had was unthinkable, since every glance was a plea 15 for life. (124 words)

12. The author‘s hypothesis concerning the origin of taboos against watching other people eat emphasizes the (A) general palatability of food (B) religious significance of food (C) limited availability of food (D) various sources of food (E) nutritional value of food
