[C] Introducing briefly what anthropology is.
[D] The effect of presentation tactics.
[E] Personal experience as the example.
[F] Evolution of anthropology.
[G] Putting anthropology in perspective.
    In the following paragraphs I will discuss the breadth of cultural anthropology. Anthropology and the vast fields that are included in the study cannot be summarized in one paper. I will attempt to cover as much as I can in the following pages. I will also relate anthropology to college students today and explain the importance of understanding other cultures. Finally I will elaborate on some of the presentations that I liked the most and offer helpful hints and comments on those groups.
    There are lots of areas of study out there but the one field that intrigues peoples and civilizations is the actual study of themselves and how they interact with other human cultures. I grew up in two cultures simultaneously and the experiences I incurred have made me the person I am today. I think that it is important to familiarize yourself with other cultures not just in business but it will aid in smoother business transactions.
【C1】______
    The discipline of anthropology studies humankind in the cultures of the world, both past and present. This study includes humankind’s physical development and the wide diversity of lifestyles people have created. The main goal of Anthropology is to understand objectively the reasons for both similarities and differences among humans, their behaviors and ideas. Cultural anthropology seeks to understand and describe each culture in its own perspective and in comparative perspective.
【C2】______
    I think that the more a person knows about a topic the less they are to prejudge someone or something before getting to know about it. The presentations were an excellent way to introduce each group’ s topics and cultures in an entertaining and informative way. I don’ t think that I would have ever known anything about Hindu Marriages or Single Family African American Homes if it weren’ t for the presentations. I think that prejudice would be lessened if people were more educated with the cultures and traditions of other races. This would prevent possible ethnic clashes when hard times arise.
【C3】______
    Classical anthropological fieldwork requires prolonged residence (of one or more years) with a particular group in order to understand their way of life. Until World War II , Cultural Anthropology focused especially on non-Western cultures, including Native American Indians, gaining a unique perspective on human life and behavior.
    More recently this perspective and fieldwork method have been applied as well to Western culture. Cultural anthropology is extremely relevant to students today more than ever because the United States is becoming more and more inhabited by cultures other than Anglo-Americans.
【C4】______
    I liked most of the presentations. They were all unique and informative in their own way. All of the groups put much effort and time in producing quality skits and presentations. My favorite ones were the Italian Mafia and the Second-Generation Vietnamese. I have always been intrigued and fascinated by the actions and way of the Mafia. Growing up I remember watching John Gotti on television and going through trial after trial only to be acquitted. I couldn’ t help but cheer him on even though he was a ruthless villain. Most Italian immigrants saw the mob as a hero figure kind of like a Robin Hood. They rooted for the mob leaders when they were arrested by the law and backed them up when they could.
【C5】______
    When my parents came here in 1979 with no money and little knowledge of American culture and language, they knew that it was going to be a struggle to get our family back on our feet. My father worked two jobs to support my family and my mother worked 9—5 and raised us. Today’ s Vietnamese generation is a little different however because while our parents were working 2 jobs and running businesses 18 hours a day they didn’t have much time to spend with the younger kids and consequently a lot of young Vietnamese youths today are involved in gangs and teenage girls are getting pregnant. In general I think that this group did a good job in presenting the differences between our parents and our generation.
    Cultural anthropology allows students to look at other cultures differently and understand a little better what that group has gone through to get to where they are today. I believe that the understanding of the culture around you and the cultures that inhabit the same planet as you enables you to make better and more informed decisions in both business and social interactions.
【C4】
选项
答案D
解析 (1)从全文看，在上段介绍了人类学发展背景后，话题返回到第42题谈到的“讲述”，不过不再谈论讲述的作用。(2)本题在选项[A]和[D]之间选择，因为两个标题都与“讲述”相关。(3)就段落来看，“讲述方式独具一格、内容博识洽闻”，“所有小组挖空心思制作了高质量的幽默短剧和讲述”，这些语句都与对讲述技巧的评价相关。之后，就是举例说明讲述手法的效果。
