What are the speakers mainly talking about? [br]
M: Lisa. [8A] Do you have any idea of race? What does race mean to you?
W: A running event.
M: Not that type of race. Think of different people.
W: Do you mean different types of people and different colors?
M: Good. Much closer. The idea of race started to become popular in the 19th century. "Race" was a concept important to the idea of origins and to the 19th century development of the science of biology. Physical differences between peoples were said to be explainable using the concepts of race or racial group. In the 19th century biologists suggested that each human came from one of three general racial groups. What do you think these groups were?
W: Hmm…white, black and Asian.
M: You have the right idea, just the wrong terms — Caucasian, Negroid and Mongoloid peoples. Physical differences were seen as results of the specific geographical origins of distinct peoples. Today biologists have little or no use for the terms race or racial. This is a result of the theory that all humankind, yes, I mean that everybody in the world originates from the same ancestors and from the same geographical location. Science also suggests that early humankind was nomadic and therefore the issue of the geographical "origins" of a group of peoples is inaccurate.
W: Oh, I benefit a lot from you today, and I’ve never thought of it before.
选项
A、About half of the researches about peoples’ origins are inaccurate.
B、Some of the early humankind lived on farming.
C、Human beings originate from the different geographical locations.
D、The issue of the geographical "origins" of a group of peoples is wrong.
答案
D
解析
对话结尾处男士提到如今生物学家都不再使用race这个词了.因为科学家们认为早期人类是游牧民族,所以任何关于某群人的地理起源的说法都是不准确的,故答案为[D]。
