老G一篇短阅读求助！顺便问一下做No题还有意义吗？

Extended debate concerning the exact point of origin of individual folktales told by Afro-American slaves has unfortunately taken precedence over analysis of the tales’ meaning and function. Cultural continuities with Africa were not dependent on importation and perpetuation of specific folktales in their pristine form. It is in the place that tales occupied in the lives of the slaves and in the meaning slaves derived from them that the clearest resemblances to African tradition can be found. Afro-American slaves did not borrow tales indiscriminately from the Whites among whom they lived. Black people were most influenced by those Euro-American tales whose functional meaning and aesthetic appeal had the greatest similarity to the tales with deep roots in their ancestral homeland. Regardless of where slave tales came from, the essential point is that, with respect to language, delivery, details of characterization, and plot, slaves quickly made them their own.

The passage suggests that the author would regard which of the following areas of inquiry as most likely to reveal the slaves’ cultural continuities with Africa?
(A) The means by which Blacks disseminated their folktales in nineteenth-century America
(B) Specific regional differences in the styles of delivery used by the slaves in telling folktales
(C) The functional meaning of Black folktales in the lives of White children raised by slave
(D) The specific way the slaves used folktales to impart moral teaching to their children
(E) The complexities of plot that appear most frequently in the slaves’ tales

答案选的是D，可是我怎么都没找到和moral相关的东西啊？

老G no题好难找到解析啊T_T又偏偏好多不会，求助！

的确很难啊，其他的选项为什么错我也看不出来。
It is in the place that tales occupied in the lives of the slaves and in the meaning slaves derived from them that the clearest resemblances to African tradition can be found.
可不可以从这句中找线索呢？来源于tales中的生活的意义(meaning)。
对孩子的品德教育可不可以理解为meaning的一种呢。

求指点:handshake

Hi，首先很开心能一起讨论！！希望以后也多多一起讨论~！
这题我一开始也是以为是这句
刚看另外一个解析，说是最后一句，quickly made them their own，所以是用一种specific way 来告诉他们的children，至于为什么是Moral，这个完全就是推测了T_T不过除了moral之外都是对的，而且教导moral也没什么错，你觉得呢？
总之这是一道好变态的题目啊

不好意思回复晚了。按照解析的想法也能想得通，就是不容易想到。

只有放弃这一题，move on 了！

恩是呀！必须move on！
感觉这些no题有好多其实答案特别牵强，我刚还做了一道题，觉得答案是错的呢，请你来看下~~
于是你觉得做老G题还有意义吗？
In developing his argument, the author warns against
(A) relying on incomplete measurements
(B) introducing irrelevant information
(C) rejecting corroborative evidence
(D) accepting uninformed opinions
(E) making unwarranted comparisons

The hypothesis of an expanding Earth has never attracted notable support, and if it were not for the historical example of continental drift, such indifference might be a legitimate response to an apparently improbable concept. It should be remembered, however, that drift too was once regarded as illusory, but the idea was kept alive until evidence from physicists compelled geologists to reinterpret their data.
Of course, it would be as dangerous to overreact to history by concluding that the majority must now be wrong about expansion as it would be to reenact the response that greeted the suggestion that the continents had drifted. The cases are not precisely analogous. There were serious problems with the pre-drift world view that a drift theory could help to resolve, whereas Earth expansion appears to offer no comparable advantages. If, however, physicists could show that the Earth’s gravitational force has decreased with time, expansion would have to be reconsidered and accommodated.

蓝色的部分对应B选项
绿色的部分对应E选项。
解析说就因为绿色说了cases are not analogous就说E对
我却觉得蓝色的部分说如果不相关就直接定义为错，所以不应该介绍不相关的信息

关于老G，如果有时间的话就当作练习也是挺好的。虽然题型会和新G的题型不一样，但是文章应该是差不多的。
然后关于这一题我觉得正确答案的确是(E) making unwarranted comparisons
文章第一句讲：expanding Earth的理论从来没有得到过很多的关注，如果不是因为continental drift这样的例子的话，对于expanding Earth的理论的漠不关心（such indifference）可能会是对一个明显很不靠谱的理论（apparently improbable concept）的合理的反应（legitimate response）。
第二句：但是，应该被记得的是，continental drift也曾被看作虚无的理论（illusory），但是直到被证据证实以后（evidence from physicists compelled geologists to reinterpret their data.）一直活跃到现在（kept alive）。
第三句，Of course, it would be as dangerous to overreact to history by concluding that the majority must now be wrong about expansion as it would be to reenact the response that greeted the suggestion that the continents had drifted.
当然，总结出现在大多数关于expansion的理论都是错的，就好像是重现（第二句话中所说的情况）很危险的。（不是完全翻译，请谅解。。）
第四句，The cases are not precisely analogous. 这些情况都不是精准的相似。

通过第三句话的，Of course, it would be as dangerous to…… 和第四句话的进一步阐明可以知道选项应该是(E) making unwarranted comparisons 做不合理的对比。

蓝色部分的意思应该不是介绍不相关的信息吧

我觉得就是通过意义来选的D，其他选项都跟意义无关啊。全文就是说了一堆statements， 原文的大意说：你们都研究起源，但其实应该研究意义。因为文化传承不依赖起源还是依赖意义。folktales的借，借的是意义，不是起源。无论起源是哪儿，黑人都把诗歌变成自己的了。（新东方老师说的大意版本）
那么按这个思路分析，文化传承性就是依赖意义，ABCDE 只有D 的moral teaching 是在说 利用folktales的意义。谢谢。希望对你有帮助~

这里不是until吗？ keep alive until 物理学家让地理学家重新解释他们的数据，这不是说明物理学家让地理学家重新解释他们的数据导致了这个观点的死亡吗。。。如果按你那样理解的话为什么不用since啊？

还想请教一下 还是这篇文章：expanding earth的最后一题怎么分析啊
it can be deduced from the passage that the gravitational force at a point on the Earth's surface is:
A representative of the geologic age of the Earth
B analogous to the movement of land masses
C similar to optical phenomena such as mirages
D proportional to the size of the Earth
E dependent on the speed of the Earth's rotation

答案 D

虽然不是在问我，不过碰巧这道题我会~~expanding earth是说地球在扩大，文章最后一句说如果gravitational force decreased，地球会expansion才可以接受，所以说的是地球的size和force成propotional
