标题: 真心求助！请NN们看过来！OG13 第35题！ [打印本页] 作者: hstogether 时间: 2013-1-7 04:50 标题: 真心求助！请NN们看过来！OG13 第35题！ Current feminist theory, in validating women's own stories of their experience, has encouraged scholars of women's history to view the use of women's oral narratives as the methodology, next to the use of women's written autobiography, that brings historians closest to the "reality" of women's lives. Such narratives, unlike most standard histories, represent experience from the perspective of women, affirm the importance of women's contributions, and furnish present-day women with historical continuity that is essential to their identity, individually and collectively. Scholars of women's history should, however, be as cautious about accepting oral narratives at face value as they already are about written memories. Oral narratives are no more likely than are written narratives to provide a disinterested commentary on events or people. Moreover, the stories people tell to explain themselves are shaped by narrative devices and storytelling conventions, as well as by other cultural and historical factors, in ways that the storytellers may be unaware of. The political rhetoric of a particular era, for example, may influence women's interpretations of the significance of their experience. Thus a woman who views the Second World War as pivotal in increasing the social acceptance of women's paid work outside the home may reach that conclusion partly and unwittingly because of wartime rhetoric encouraging a positive view of women's participation in such work.
According to the passage, scholars of women's history should refrain from doing which of the following? (A) Relying on traditional historical sources when women's oral narratives are unavailable (B) Focusing on the influence of political rhetoric on women's perceptions to the exclusion of other equallyimportant factors (C) Attempting to discover the cultural and historical factors that influence the stories women tell (D) Assuming that the conventions of women's written autobiographies are similar to the conventions of women's oral narratives (E) Acceptingwomen's oral narratives less critically than they accept women's written histories
我是觉得B和E（标准答案）都是不对的啊。。。
我理解的B的意思是 － “仅仅专注在the influence of political rhetoric on women's perceptions，而忽略其他一样重要的因素“。。。所以这也是what scholars of women's history should refrain from doing呀！
还是我对这句话的理解本来就是错误的？
请NN们帮帮我！

我上面说的“B和E都是不对的”的意思是 － scholars of women's history should refrain from doing他们。作者: AlexYYY 时间: 2013-1-17 15:19
首先说E： 我认为 refrain from + Acceptingwomen's oral narratives less critically than they accept women's written histories是不正确的，应为前文：has encouraged scholars of women's history to view the use of women's oral narratives as the ethodology, next to the use of women's written autobiography 的 less critically 和 前文Next to 是呼应的。 所以作者反对的不仅仅是 less critically使用oral narrative。
B不正确的原因：The political rhetoric of a particular era, for example,的作用在34题. Which of the following best describes the function of the last sentence of the passage? 已经说明了是 要It provides an example of XXX。 本文的主题并不是要 refrain from doing 这个。
个人认为，GMAT的逻辑是很直线的，比如 文章A，反对B， B 有可能有C，D，E构成。 那么逻辑一定是A反对B，而不是 A 反对 C。 随便说说 错了别砍我。。哈哈作者: yangrryq 时间: 2013-1-21 17:56
定位：Scholars of women's history should, however, be as cautious about accepting oral narratives at face value as they already are about written memories. Oral narratives are no more likely than are written narratives to provide a disinterested commentary on events or people. lz说的 the influence of political rhetoric on women's perceptions to the exclusion of other equally important factors是用来说明 Moreover, the stories people tell to explain themselves are shaped by narrative devices and storytelling conventions, as well as by other cultural and historical factors, in ways that the storytellers may be unaware of. 要有针对性的定位。作者: yangrryq 时间: 2013-1-21 18:00
其实如果你选b还是文章没有完全理解。作者从来没有提focus on the influence of political rhetoric on women's perceptions to the exclusion of other equally important factors.第一轮就应该排除了。问题时说according to the passage.
