What does the example of the Inuit people of the Arctic regions illustrate?
A. The cost of humans’ curiosity to explore.
B. The incredible harshness of cold weather.
C. The innovative ideas stemming from curiosity.
D. The importance of learning from past failures.
题目解答
答案
A. The cost of humans’ curiosity to explore.
解析
本题考查对文章中例证作用的理解。关键在于明确Inuit人例子与选项中抽象概念的关联。需注意:
- 核心思路:分析北极地区Inuit人的生存智慧如何映射选项中的主题;
- 破题关键:聚焦文章中可能强调的探索行为与代价的关系,而非单纯描述环境或创新。
选项分析
- 选项A:若文章强调Inuit人为探索极地环境(如迁徙、资源开发)付出的生存代价(如恶劣环境适应、资源获取困难),则此选项成立。
- 选项C:若重点在Inuit人因好奇而发明创新工具(如冰屋、皮衣),则可能选C。但需注意题目问的是“illustrate”,需匹配原文主旨。
关键判断
根据答案提示,文章通过Inuit人例子突出探索行为本身带来的高昂代价,而非单纯创新。因此选A。
