Q35 to Q37:

Recent feminist scholarship con-

cerning the United States in the 1920’s

challenges earlier interpretations that

Line assessed the twenties in terms of the

(5) unkept “promises” of the women’s

suffrage movement. This new scholar-

ship disputes the long-held view that

because a women’s voting bloc did not

materialize after women gained the right

(10) to vote in 1920, suffrage failed to

produce long-term political gains for

women. These feminist scholars also

challenge the old view that pronounced

suffrage a failure for not delivering on

(15) the promise that the women’s vote

would bring about moral, corruption-

free governance. Asked whether

women’s suffrage was a failure, these

scholars cite the words of turn-of-the-

(20) century social reformer Jane Addams,

“Why don’t you ask if suffrage in

general is failing?”

In some ways, however, these

scholars still present the 1920’s as a

(25) period of decline. After suffrage, they

argue, the feminist movement lost its

cohesiveness, and gender conscious-

ness waned. After the mid-1920’s, few

successes could be claimed by fem-

(30) inist reformers: little could be seen in

the way of legislative victories.

During this decade, however, there

was intense activism aimed at achiev-

ing increased autonomy for women,

(35) broadening the spheres within which

they lived their daily lives. Women’s

organizations worked to establish

opportunities for women: they strove to

secure for women the full entitlements

(40) of citizenship, including the right to hold

office and the right to serve on juries.

Q36:

It can be inferred that the author of the passage disagrees with the “new scholarship” mentioned in lines 6-7 regarding the

degree to which the “promises” of the suffrage movement remained unkept

degree to which suffrage for women improved the morality of governance

degree to which the 1920’s represented a period of decline for the feminist movement

degree of legislative success achieved by feminist reformers during the 1920’s

accuracy of the view that a women’s voting bloc did not materialize once suffrage was achieved

I choose C, but the answer is D. What do you guys think?

the author use the last paragraph to contradict the view presented by New Scholarship in line24-30.

You are right, C is the best answer.

Some of GWD "answers" need to be viewed with a grain of salt.

为什么选C啊，就因为有个: In some way吗？

这些观点都是作者以叙述的口气来陈述的啊？？我感觉不到disagree

选C不单纯是因为in some way的原因。第一段主要是具体描述new scholarship的看法。第二段用however大转折： In some ways, however, these scholars still present the 1920’s as a(25) period of decline.并对这点大致描述了一下，然后又用一个however大转折：During this decade, however, there was intense activism 。。。并且具体描述某些activism的effort和成就来反驳第二段的首句。
