Q35 to Q38:
Historians who study European
women of the Renaissance try to mea-
sure “independence,” “options,” and
Line other indicators of the degree to which
(5) the expression of women’s individuality
was either permitted or suppressed.
Influenced by Western individualism,
these historians define a peculiar form
of personhood: an innately bounded
(10) unit, autonomous and standing apart
from both nature and society. An
anthropologist, however, would contend
that a person can be conceived in ways
other than as an “individual.” In many
(15) societies a person’s identity is not
intrinsically unique and self-contained
but instead is defined within a complex
web of social relationships.
In her study of the fifteenth-century
(20) Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a
historian who specializes in European
women of the Renaissance attributes
individual intention and authorship of
actions to her subject. This historian
(25) assumes that Alessandra had goals
and interests different from those of her
sons, yet much of the historian’s own
research reveals that Alessandra
acted primarily as a champion of her
(30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as
her own. Thus Alessandra conforms
more closely to the anthropologist’s
notion that personal motivation is
embedded in a social context. Indeed,
(35) one could argue that Alessandra did
not distinguish her personhood from
that of her sons. In Renaissance
Europe the boundaries of the con-
ceptual self were not always firm
(40) and closed and did not necessarily
coincide with the boundaries of
the bodily self.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
38.According to the passage, much of the research on Alessandra Strozzi done by the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Alessandra used her position as her sons’ sole guardian to further interests different from those of her sons.
B. Alessandra unwillingly sacrificed her own interests in favor of those of her sons.
C. Alessandra’s actions indicate that her motivations and intentions were those of an independent individual.
D. Alessandra’s social context encouraged her to take independent action.
E. Alessandra regarded her sons’ goals and interests as her own.
没想明白A怎么得出来得，请教
从问题来看，是问historian的研究(在客观上)支持什么结论，而不是问historian的观点。
鉴此，根据文章：yet much of the historian’s own research reveals that Alessandra acted primarily as a champion of her sons’ interests, taking their goals as her own. 可知E选项正确。
从文章内容看：Thus Alessandra conforms more closely to the anthropologist’s notion that personal motivation is embedded in a social context. D选项：Alessandra’s social context encouraged her to take independent action也有一定的道理。但基本是属于推论内容，不能从research的内容中直接得出吧。
待讨论。
yet much of the historian’s own
research reveals that Alessandra
acted primarily as a champion of her
(30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as
her own.
A选项中guardian就是原文champion的改写，看选项感觉像正确答案。
但是Line30中说 the widow "taking their goals as her own"，如果非要向A靠拢，是不是A中as her sons’ sole guardian to further interests different from those of her sons 是说她把维护儿子的利益作为自己的利益，但是这种利益的出发角度是不同的？
不过我做题的时候选了E。。。
me too!!!!!
应该选E吧
research reveals that Alessandra
acted primarily as a champion of her
(30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as
her own. Thus Alessandra conforms
more closely to the anthropologist’s
notion that personal motivation is
embedded in a social context. Indeed,
(35) one could argue that Alessandra did
not distinguish her personhood from
that of her sons.
划线部分是解题点。
WHY NOT C?
题目不是说SUPPORT吗？也就是说使INFER出来的，not got directively from the context!
所以e不对吧
那位说说？
选E啦
A的意思好像和原文有出入
正確選項為A
This historian assumes that Alessandra had goals and interests different from
those of her sons, yet much of the historian’s own research
reveals that Alessandra acted
primarily as a champion (監護人) of her sons’ interests, taking their goals as her own.
由文章可得知Alessandra
had diff. Goals和Alessandra acted as a champion of her sons兩件事實.
雖然historian認為Alessandra had diff. goals.
used the position, as a champion of her sons.
因此,可判斷文章最有可能support A選項的conclusion.
