In colonial Connecticut between
1670 and 1719, women participated
in one of every six civil cases, the
Line vast majority of which were debt-
(5) related. Women’s participation
dropped to one in ten cases after
1719, and to one in twenty by the
1770’s. however, as Cornelia
Hughes Dayton notes in Women
(10) Before the Bar: Gender, Law,
and Society in Connecticut,
1639-1789, these statistics are
somewhat deceptive: in fact,
both the absolute numbers and
(15) the percentage of adult women
participating in civil cases grew
steadily throughout the eighteenth
century, but the legal activity of
men also increased dramatically,
(20) and at a much faster rate. Single,
married, and widowed women
continued to pursue their own and
their husbands’ debtors through
legal action much as they had
(25) done in the previous century, but
despite this continuity, their place
in the legal system shifted
dramatically. Men’s commercial
interests and credit networks
(30) became increasingly far-flung,
owing in part to the ability of
creditors to buy and sell prom-
issory notes (legal promises to
pay debts). At the same time,
(35) women’s networks of credit and
debt remained primarily local and
personal. Dayton contends that,
although still performing crucial
economic services in their
(40) communities—services that
contributed to the commercialization
of the colonial economy—women
remained for the most part outside
the new economic and legal culture
of the eighteenth century.

第25和27都有疑问，25我选a，27我选c，可是给的答案25是c，27是b！各位讨论一下！

怎么只见疑问，没有回答？
很好很强大！
不对 不对 25 LZ你看你自己分析那7句话 有哪句是对CHD的view做出评价 没有 而只是讲其说出来
如果不要说 第7句是评价 不是的 第7句只是为了证明 作者是report CHD的观点
25应该还是A
25题选A。文章主要是在陈述Dayton的一些见解（关于18世纪women和men经济活动的）
27题选C。在18世纪，women对经济活动的参与没有太大变化，而men的参与面越来越广。B选项不正确，因为B说women参与的范围越来越小了，但是文章并没有这样说。
