标题: gwd 29-3-6

-Q3 to Q6:

      In a 1984 book, Claire C.

       Robertson argued that,

       before colonialism, age was

Line       a more important indicator

  (5)      of status and authority than

gender in Ghana and in

Africa generally.  British

colonialism imposed

European-style male-

 (10)      dominant notions upon

more egalitarian local

situations to the detriment

of women generally, and

gender became a defining

 (15)      characteristic that weak-

ened women’s power and

authority.

      Subsequent research in

Kenya convinced Robertson

 (20)      that she had overgeneralized

       about Africa.  Before colo-

       nialism, gender was more

salient in central Kenya than

it was in Ghana, although age

 (25)      was still crucial in determin-

ing authority.  In contrast with

Ghana, where women had

traded for hundreds of years

and achieved legal majority

 (30)      (not unrelated phenomena),

the evidence regarding

central Kenya indicated that

       women were legal minors

and were sometimes treated

 (35)
                       as male property, as were

European women at that

time.  Factors like strong

patrilinearity and patrilocality,

      as well as women’s inferior

 (40)     land rights and lesser

involvement in trade, made

women more dependent on

men than was generally the

case in Ghana.  However,

 (45)      since age apparently

remained the overriding

principle of social organiza-

tion in central Kenya, some

senior women had much

 (50)      authority.  Thus, Robertson

revised her hypothesis

somewhat, arguing that

in determining authority in

precolonial Africa age was a

 (55)      primary principle that super-

seded gender to varying

degrees depending on the

situation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q3:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

             

  1. present evidence undermining a certain hypothesis
  2. describe a particular position and its subsequent modification
  3. discuss two contrasting viewpoints regarding a particular issue
  4. describe how a social phenomenon varied by region
  5. evaluate an assumption widely held by scholars

Answer: B

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q4:

The passage indicates that Robertson’s research in Kenya caused her to change her mind regarding which of the following?

             

  1. Whether age was the prevailing principle of social organization in Kenya before colonialism
  2. Whether gender was the primary determinant of social authority in Africa generally before colonialism
  3. Whether it was only after colonialism that gender became a significant determinant of authority in Kenyan society
  4. Whether age was a crucial factor determining authority in Africa after colonialism
  5. Whether British colonialism imposed European-style male-dominant notions upon local situations in Ghana

Answer:

C--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q5:

The passage suggests that after conducting the research mentioned in line 18, but not before, Robertson would have agreed with which of the following about women’s status and authority in Ghana?

             

  1. Greater land rights and greater involvement in trade made women in precolonial Ghana less dependent on men than were European women at that time.
  2. Colonialism had a greater impact on the status and authority of Ghanaian women than on Kenyan women.
  3. Colonialism had less of an impact on the status and authority of Ghanaian women that it had on the status and authority of other African women.
  4. The relative independence of Ghanaian women prior to colonialism was unique in Africa.
  5. Before colonialism, the status and authority of Ghanaian women was similar to that of Kenyan women.

Answer: B

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q6:

The author of the passage mentions the status of age as a principle of social organization in precolonial central Kenya in lines 24-26 most likely in order to

 

  1. indicate that women’s dependence on men in precolonial Kenya was not absolute
  2. contrast the situation of senior women to that of less senior women in precolonial Kenyan society
  3. differentiate between the status and authority of precolonial Kenyan women and that of precolonial Ghanaian women
  4. explain why age superseded gender to a greater extent in precolonial Kenya than it did elsewhere in Africa
  5. identify a factor that led Robertson to revise her hypothesis about precolonial Africa

Answer: E

MINE:C

同問, 這篇文章搞的我暈頭轉向. 四題錯三題, 快掛了...

Q4: 請問這題答案到底在文中的哪裡定位呢?

答案 C. Whether
            
it was only after colonialism
            
that gender became a significant determinant of authority in Kenyan society  
可是文章都没有提到过after colonialism或是一些時間標誌詞阿?如何會選出這個答案?

Q5: after conducting...定位在第二段, 但並沒談到Colonialism的影響阿?如何能推出GK的比較?

 

還有一問, 第一段都在講G, before…..age is more
        
important than gender in Ghana然後又說"British colonialism imposed..more egalitarian…, and gender became a defining characteristic that weakened...-->到底是age還是genderG重要阿?

这篇的确很搞,我5,6都选了A。

考虑了一下5基本上接受B,但是6觉得E的说法没道理

第四题,我选B:定位回前两段的开头,Robertson的转变是她发现她overgeneralized了Africa-before colonialism, age ... than gender。根本没有提到C中only after colonialism的Kenya呀。

第六题,我选A:因为24-26只是这句话的后半句,A的回答更直接,并且还有在下文特别提到。如果提问的是整句话才应该选E。

谈谈我的分析

第4题:我选择C,首先分析题目问什么?

题目是

The passage indicates that Robertson’s research in Kenya caused her to change her mind regarding which of the following?

我感觉题目问的是,改变他的观点关于什么什么.....这里的什么什么就是在调查之前的观点啊.

所以就应该定位在research in Kenya之前,R抱有什么样的观点.

读第一段,显然是说殖民地之前在非洲,年龄重要过性别,殖民之后收到欧洲殖民者的影响,发现性别重要了.也就是,是否殖民对当地的影响,所以选择C.

不知道我这样理解正确否?

如果这题选择B,

看看原文开头: age was a more important indicator of status and authority than gender

 Robertson 认为age重要过gender

 Robertson 认为age重要过gender

看看原文末尾: arguing that in determining authority in precolonial Africa age was a primary principle that superseded gender

  Robertson 还是认为age重要过gender

而选项B: Whether gender was the primary determinant of social authority in Africa generally before colonialism

表达的意思是是否gender为主要因素.和题目所问不符合吧.

第5题我选择B,因为原文表述殖民前G比K更有人权,女性地位更高,所以殖民对G的冲击更大.


作者: zzlz    时间: 2007-1-4 13:03

第6题我选择E,题目问in order to,就是说和该段表达的中心有关,读了该段的中心句(首句和末尾)

感觉就是E的方向,导致R修改了假设,也就是末尾所提及的内容.

分析如下:战前,gender还是有差异的,所以导致最后说:

superseded gender to varying  degrees depending on the situation.

依据情况,不同的程度取代性别.

第四题:C,把它当作逻辑题中的评价来做

C.Whether it was only after colonialism that gender became a significant determinant of authority in Kenyan society

如果是,即只在殖民后性别才在K地重要,则支持R在一段的结论:殖民前看年龄,殖民后看性别

如果否,即殖民前性别就在K地很重要,则削弱一段结论,然后导致了本文第二段最后的修订

本来逻辑题里最怕的就是评价题,结果阅读里也出评价....无语老....

B说殖民前性别是的最重要的吗(primary determinant),而不论一段还是二段,殖民前都是年龄最重要,只是新理论认为在殖民前性别也很重要,带绝不是最重要的,从结论的supersede知

D说殖民后年龄还重要不,这个其实作者并没有谈到,即使在二段末句作者的结论也仍然是殖民前

第6题,我们先要搞明白究竟是什么使作者改变了自己的观点.我们可以看到是因为对K地的研究,发现在殖民前在K地性别就已经很重要了,但年龄仍是crucial的.而在结尾出作者的修正观点为in determining authority in precolonial Africa age was a primary principle
                that super
seded gender to varying degrees depending on the situation.即在殖民前,年龄是最重要的,而其超越性别的程度随情况不同而不同,这里与一段观点不同的是承认了性别在殖民前的地位,随情况不同而不同即是从对K地与G地比较得出,K地在殖民前性别就很重要,而G地性别不重要,所以殖民后G地的变化比较大,这也就是为什么第五题选B的原因.

而对于第6题,24-26行的这句话说的是殖民前在K地性别就很重要,这就正是R改变自己观点的最主要原因.而提到年龄,就是为了末段结论关于超越程度这一观念的提出做铺垫(这句话似乎很牵强)

其实作为段落结构题,E一定是比A更象答案的,因为指出K地妇女对男人的依赖不是绝对的(即年龄也是起作用的,或者说在殖民前K地的年龄也是很重要的),这与第一段其实是一致的,不会是作者的写作意图

第4题应该是C,但第6题选E我觉得不对,应该是A

E是一个与原文相反的错误选项,E选项说L24-26“指出了一个因素,该因素导致Robertson改变了自己对于前殖民地非洲的假设”

L24-26:

although age

 (25)      was still crucial in determin-

            ing authority.

说的是:在前殖民地非洲,age仍是决定社会地位的关键因素。这句话,与Robertson原先的假设是一致的,怎么能说是“导致Robertson改变假设的因素”呢?

不太同意lewton对于第六题的说法。题目问的是:The author of the passage mentions the status of age as a principle of
social organization in precolonial central Kenya in lines 24-26 most likely in
order to
翻译一下就是说,问作者在文中提到年龄是K地社会地位的主要决定因素是为了说明什么?
E显然是错误的,E说为了说明Robert修改自己看法的原因。很明显,文中提到的Robert修改她看法的原因是K地在殖民前就存在一定程度的性别歧视,而不是年龄。
支持A,因为A说是为了说明K地在殖民以前,女人对于男人的依靠(社会地位的一种反应)并不绝对。从而说明了其实年龄在那个时候在K地是占主导地位的因素。

顶这个

确实选A

仔细读题干是age而不是gender
