125. The author of the passage alludes to the well-established nature of the concept of individual rights in the Anglo-Saxon legal and political tradition in order to
(定位依据:A-S,题型判断:in order to,于是往前找:Between 1890 and 1920, however, relational feminism, which had been the dominant strain in feminist thought, and which still predominates among European and non-Western feminists, lost ground in England and the United States.)
(于是我的想法:这个例子是为表明 re-fe在England and United states lost而in-fe在在England and United states的崛起,主要强调lost)
(A) illustrate the influence of individualist feminist thought on more general intellectual trends in English history (范围太广,以偏概全,排除)
(B) argue that feminism was already a part of the larger Anglo-Saxon intellectual tradition, even though thishas often gone unnoticed by critics of women’s emancipation.(举例作用题,答案不会出现例子本身内容,大胆排除)
(C) explain the decline in individualist thinking among feminists in non-English-speaking countries(未涉及,排除)
(D) help account for an increasing shift toward individualist feminism among feminists in English speaking countries.(判断正确选项依据)
(E) account for the philosophical differences between individualist and relational feminists in English speaking countries (无关词,排除)
The best answer is D. In lines 18-26, the author states that relational feminism “lost ground” in English and the United States while individualist feminism came to predominate, as a result of the well-established concept of individual rights. Choice A is incorrect: lines 22-26 of the passage suggest that individualist feminism was influenced by broader trends in English legal and political tradition. Choice B can be eliminated: the passage does not suggest that feminism was part of the Anglo-Saxon tradition. Choice C is incorrect: individualist feminism is described in lines 18-26 of the passage as growing, not declining. Choice E is incorrect because, although individualist and relational feminists did have philosophical differences, the author does not mention the Anglo-Saxon legal and political tradition in order to account for these differences.
126. The passage suggests that the author of the passage believes which of the following?
(定位依据:author,而作者看法出现在P3,于是定位P3 )
(这道题我做错了,我选择了C,因为看到future feminist politics will probably soon emerge, cooperation等词汇激动万分—此题如此简单啊!于是赶紧选择C;事实上这道题我犯了3个错误:1、我并没有仔细回视P3,其实P3讲述了作者的2点看法:各有缺点+能互相结合则更好,我只根据后面这点做题;2、没有体会C的关键词和文章的差异;3、没有继续看其他选项,看到C这道题就结束了!该打50大板!)
(A) The predominance of individualist feminism in English-speaking countries is a historical phenomenon, the causes of which have not yet been investigated.
(B) The individualist and relational feminist views are irreconcilable, given their theoretical differences concerning the foundations of society.
(C) A consensus concerning the direction of future feminist politics will probably soon emerge, given the awareness among feminists of the need for cooperation among women.
(D) Political adversaries of feminism often misuse arguments predicated on differences between the sexes to argue that the existing social system
should be maintained.
(E) Relational feminism provides the best theoretical framework for contemporary feminist politics, but individualist feminism could contribute much toward refining and strengthening modern feminist thought.
The best answer is D. In lines 38-41 of the passage, the author contends that a significant liability of relational arguments is that “because they underline women’s physiological and psychological distinctiveness, they are often appropriated by political adversaries and used to endorse male privilege.” Therefore, D states an idea with which the author would likely concur. Choice A is contradicted by the passage: the author attributes the predominance of individualist feminism in English-speaking countries to Anglo-Saxon legal and political tradition. Choice B is incorrect: the passage does not suggest that the author believes that individualist and relational feminism their eventual reconciliation. There is no indication in the passage that the author would be likely to agree with the statements given in C and E.
127. It can be inferred from the passage that the individualist feminist tradition denies the validity of which of the following causal statements?
(定位依据:individualist feminist tradition denies,尤其由deny定位P3:the individualist approach, by attacking gender roles, denying the significance of physiological difference,直接在选项中找physiological difference,看到C就直接选了,没有看其他选项—这个习惯不知道会不会有问题?请大家指正)
(A) A division of labor in a social group can result in increased efficiency with regard to the performance of group tasks.
(B) A division of labor in a social group causes inequities in the distribution of opportunities and benefits among group members.
(C) A division of labor on the basis of gender in a social group is necessitated by the existence of sex-linked biological differences between male and female members of the group.
(D) Culturally determined distinctions based on gender in a social group foster the existence of differing attitudes and opinions among group members.
(E) Educational programs aimed at reducing inequalities based on gender among members of a social group can result in a sense of greater well-being for all members of the group.
The best answer is C. In lines 5-8, the author states that relational feminists “posit that biological distinctions between the sexes result in a necessary sexual division of labor.” In lines 10-15, when describing the individualists feminist philosophy, the author begins with the phrase “by contrast,” thus implying that the position taken by relational feminists on a necessary gender-based division of labor is not accepted in the individualist feminist tradition. In line 13, the author further states that individualist feminists downplay the importance of gender roles. Nothing in the passage suggests that individualist feminist would disagree with the statements in A, B, D, and E.
128. According to the passage, relational feminists and individualist feminists agree that(定位标志,P2,因为记得(凭记忆,没有定位看文章其他部分,这种习惯好不好?)有预期让步阐述2者都赞同的观点,于是直接找:Relational feminists, while agreeing that equal educational and economic opportunities outside the home should be available for all women,直接在选项中找上述近义词,选择E,没有仔细读其他选项,只是略读,一晃而过,不知道这个习惯又如何?)
(A) individual human rights take precedence over most other social claims
(B) the gender-based division of labor in society should be eliminated
(C) laws guaranteeing equal treatment for all citizens regardless of gender should be passed
(D) a greater degree of social awareness concerning the importance of motherhood would be beneficial to society
(E) the same educational and economic opportunities should be available to both sexes
The best answer is E. Lines 28-29 indicate that individualist feminists advocate equal rights for all. Lines 30-32 go on to state that relational feminists agree that “equal educational and economic opportunities outside the home should be available for all women.” Choices A and B are incorrect because the passage suggests that they are beliefs held only by individualist feminists. Choice C represents a belief with which relational feminists disagree, and D represents a belief with which only relational feminists would agree.
129. According to the author, which of the following was true of feminist thought in Western societies before 1890?(定位标志)
(这道题我做错了,我选了C,我的做题思路:定位原文: Before the late nineteenth century, these views coexisted within the feminist movement, often within the writings of the same individual.我觉得KW是coexisted,于是直接找近义词,看到C以后,就如同126题一样,激动万分,心情和犯错方式一样(3个错误一个没落下,事实上coexisted与equally prevalent并不等同,后者以偏概全)。同时还犯了一个根本性的错误(这是我在看到正确选项后的想法),我定位的信息本身就不完整(赶时间所以没有看后面,同时也觉得没有关系,此时深刻体会到小安讲的“Try to comprehend what is “related" and what is "unrelated", do not easily judge What is "related" and what is "unrelated" information (choice), that is a very important rule to quickly rule out some wrong choices.”)事实上Between 1890 and 1920, however与before 1890直接相关,取非或者直接引用(根据不同逻辑关系)即是before 1890的info,relational feminism, which had been the dominant strain in feminist thought, and which still predominates among European and non-Western feminists, lost ground in England and the United States.待看完这段话以后,我发现我又犯错了,对题干的提炼不够,题干说得是Western societies,又想起了mumuwa说的“对题干的提炼一定要注意,即使只是一个时间状语)”,本文的题干有2个状语:时间状语:before 1980,范围:Western societies)
(A) Individualist feminist arguments were not found in the thought or writing of non-English-speaking feminists.
(B) Individualist feminism was a strain in feminist thought, but another strain, relational feminism, predominated.
(C) Relational and individualist approaches were equally prevalent in feminist thought and writing.
(D) The predominant view among feminists held that the welfare of women was ultimately less important than the welfare of children.
(E) The predominant view among feminists held that the sexes should receive equal treatment under the law.
The best answer is B. In lines 16-20, the passage states that prior to the late nineteenth century, relational feminism and individualist feminism “coexisted within the feminist movement” but that relational feminism was the “dominant strain.” Choices A and C are contradicted by lines 16-20. There is no information in passage to support the statements presented in D and E.
130. The author implies that which of the following was true of most feminist thinkers in England and the United States after 1920?
(提炼题干:3个定位标志+1个题型标志,定位P3(因为文章没有after 1920的描述,而且是指author implies,记得P3内容:2种都有缺点;如果能互相结合,将来会更好,所以定位P3))
(A) They were less concerned with politics than with intellectual issues.
(B) They began to reach a broader audience and their programs began to be adopted by mainstream political parties.
(C) They called repeatedly for international cooperation among women’s groups to achieve their goals.
(D) They moderated their initial criticism of the economic systems that characterized their societies.
(E) They did not attempt to unite the two different feminist approaches in their thought.(正确选项判断依据,P3取非)
The best answer is E. In lines 22-28, the passage states that, between 1890 and 1920, individualist feminism became predominant among feminists in England and the United States, and that the “goals of the two approaches began to seem increasingly irreconcilable”. The discussion that follows suggests that the two schools of thought continued to remain separate and that no attempt was being made to unite them. In lines 46-50, the author concludes by suggesting a way that relational and individualist feminism could be harmonized. Choices A, B, C and D are not suggested by information presented in the passage.
