标题: GWD 4-5

Many scholars have theorized that

economic development, particularly

industrialization and urbanization, con-

tributes to the growth of participatory

(5) democracy; according to this theory, it

would seem logical that women would

both demand and gain suffrage in ever

greater numbers whenever economic

development expanded their economic

(10) opportunities. However, the economic

development theory is inadequate to

explain certain historical facts about the

implementation of women’s suffrage.

For example, why was women’s suf-

(15) frage, instituted nationally in the United

States in 1920, not instituted nationally

in Switzerland until the 1970’s? Indus-

trialization was well advanced in both

countries by 1920: over 33 percent

(20) of American workers were employed

in various industries, as compared

to 44 percent of Swiss workers.

Granted, Switzerland and the United

States diverged in the degree to

(25) which the expansion of industry coincided -

with the degree of urbanization:

only 29 percent of the Swiss population

lived in cities of 10,000 or more inhabi-

tants by 1920. However, urbanization

(30) cannot fully explain women’s suffrage.

Within the United States prior to 1920,

for example, only less urbanized

states had granted women suffrage.

Similarly, less urbanized countries

(35) such as Cambodia and Ghana had

voting rights for women long before

Switzerland did. It is true that Switzer-

land’s urbanized cantons (political

subdivisions) generally enacted

(40) women’s suffrage legislation earlier

than did rural cantons. However,

these cantons often shared other

characteristics—similar linguistic back-

grounds and strong leftist parties—that

may help to explain this phenomenon.

GWD-4-Q5:

The passage states which of the following about Switzerland’s urbanized cantons?

These cantons shared characteristics other than urbanization that may have contributed to their implementation of women’s suffrage.

These cantons tended to be more politically divided than were rural cantons.

These cantons shared with certain rural cantons characteristics such as similar linguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties.

The populations of these cantons shared similar views because urbanization furthered the diffusion of ideas among them.

These cantons were comparable to the most highly urbanized states in the United States in their stance toward the implementation of women’s suffrage.

查了一下,好像没有. 看到两种答案:A或B

我选了B. 请NN确认到底是哪个?

我一开始选错,看下来竟然觉得都不对.

A说实话我还是没彻底想明白,请哪位NN指点迷津

B错是因为politically divided, 文中说的是strong lefting parties,说明政治上是偏左路线的,而不是divided.

望指正

还有第二题,也想请教一下.

Q6:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

contrast two explanations for the implementation of women’s suffrage
demonstrate that one factor contributes more than another factor to the implementation of women’s suffrage
discuss the applicability of a theory for explaining the implementation of women’s suffrage
clarify certain assumptions underlying a particular theory about the implementation of women’s suffrage
explain how a particular historical occurrence was causally connected to the implementation of women’s suffrage

答案C,我选了D

哪位指教一下,我怎么觉得这里说的一些影响suffrage的原因,感觉也象是假设条件?

请解惑..

GWD-4-Q5:

The passage states which of the following about Switzerland’s urbanized cantons?

A. These cantons shared characteristics other than urbanization that may have contributed to their implementation of women’s suffrage.
B. These cantons tended to be more politically divided than were rural cantons.
C. These cantons shared with certain rural cantons characteristics such as similar linguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties.
D. The populations of these cantons shared similar views because urbanization furthered the diffusion of ideas among them.
E. These cantons were comparable to the most highly urbanized states in the United States in their stance toward the implementation of women’s suffrage.

The right answer is A.注意原文：It is true that Switzerland’s urbanized cantons (political subdivisions) generally enacted women’s suffrage legislation earlier than did rural cantons. However, these cantons often shared other characteristics—similar linguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties—that may help to explain this phenomenon.

A. These cantons shared characteristics other than urbanization that may have contributed to their implementation of women’s suffrage.
就是对这段话的改写！这些cantons shared一些urbanization之外的characteristics(对应文中other caracteristics)，这些characteristics导致implementation of women's suffrage.

个人建议：看到other than/beyond等词的时候，要多回味一下，我发现GWD中有出现好几个这个选项都是对的（不绝对，只是一种语言现象或者说选项特征）！因为这样可以适当的增加一点难度，考生的通常做法是定位，带着定位的内容去找选项，如果不熟悉这种选项特征的话，往往看到这种选项第一个kill掉了！比如说我们在原文看到的是A，可是答案中是非B，往往就把它干掉了！

个人建议：所谓assumption就是推导出某个result（如有A-->explanation,那末A就是assumption）或者explanation的前提，而非resul或者explanation本身！本文的focus在于theory的application在某个case上不适用！而不是assumptions underlying a particular theory !如果如D所言的话，assumption是什末呢？theory又是什末呢？而且clarify也不准确，所谓clafiry是说别人对某咚咚有误解，所以要跳出来clarify一下！

关键在于对几个抽象词的理解：applicability ，clarify, assumption！

个人建议：集中所有的主体题型，正向反向对照文章和选项来看，体会常见的主体题型的抽象词的意思和套路的对照！正向就不用说了！反向：比如说先看到选项explanation of an unexpected change or finding，不用看文章就能知道大致套路：背景知识，某个发现和以前不一样（unexpected），于是一堆人跳出来解释云云！何谓change--upsurge/indrease/distinction等都叫做change。

谢谢MM详细的解答!

Q6我想是还不熟悉题型所侄

我愣是没搞明白urbanization为什么和linguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties是互斥关系呢?不可以同时起作用么?...

前面阐述观点:城市化不是suffrage原因

转折:Switzer城市比农村早suffrage

原因:Switzer-land’s urbanized cantons不同于真正城市化,而有"背景和左党"的因素

感谢而今迈步从头越 JJ帮忙释疑!

B是典型的错误选项: 无中生有的比较.文中只是分析了某些因素影响妇女参政权.比如工业化,比如城市化,以及最后提出,共通语言特征,以及左翼党派因素等等,但是没有提提到哪个占主导因素.这是GMAT阅读常见的错误选项之一:

The passage states which of the following about Switzerland’s urbanized cantons?

These cantons shared characteristics other than urbanization that may have contributed to their implementation of women’s suffrage.
These cantons tended to be more politically divided than were rural cantons.
These cantons shared with certain rural cantons characteristics such as similar linguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties.
The populations of these cantons shared similar views because urbanization furthered the diffusion of ideas among them.
These cantons were comparable to the most highly urbanized states in the United States in their stance toward the implementation of women’s suffrage.

other than: "除了...之外还有的"固定搭配.

A,These cantons shared characteristics other than urbanization that may have contributed to their implementation of women’s suffrage.
这些州除了拥有"城市化"这个共同特点以外,还有一些其他共同特点,这些其他的特点可能会影响到妇女参政议政的实施.
(其他共同点就是: 同样语言<瑞士有4个官方语言>,都有一些左翼政党等等)----------全文最后一句话,所以A毫无疑问.

疑问啊？？？我始终觉得

The passage states which of the following about Switzerland’s urbanized cantons? ?

These cantons shared characteristics other than urbanization that may have contributed to their implementation of women’s suffrage.
These cantons tended to be more politically divided than were rural cantons.
These cantons shared with certain rural cantons characteristics such as similar linguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties.
The populations of these cantons shared similar views because urbanization furthered the diffusion of ideas among them.
These cantons were comparable to the most highly urbanized states in the United States in their stance toward the implementation of women’s suffrage.

The populations of these cantons shared similar views because urbanization furthered the diffusion of ideas among them.
These cantons were comparable to the most highly urbanized states in the United States in their stance toward the implementation of women’s suffrage.

A中那个that应该是定于从句吧？修饰urbanization，而后面的就应该理解成为urbanization that may have contributed to their implementation of women’s suffrage. 就明显与文中的意思相反了啊？？？

恳请同学们帮帮忙啊。。。。难道我钻牛角尖了？？？不过那个that总觉得放在那里就不对呀。。。

This explanation seems not so convincing

C: contrast two explanations for the implementation of women’s suffrage. The center word is "explanation" rather than "factors" which parallel mutually .

In the first paragraph, one theory held by many scholars is " the growth of participatory democracy depends on economic development, especially industrialization and Urbanization" . However, this explanation is finally rebutted by the author ,and the arthor giave another persuasive explanation with adequate evidences that "the growth of participatory democracy rests on some characteristics , including similar linguistic backgrounds and strong leftist parties other than Urbanization. From this perspective , i cannot find why choice B is incorrect.

答案是C，application about the theory, 觉得挺对的，你说的是A选项~~不过我也不知道为什么contrast two explanations是错的，不是反对了工业化和城镇化 这两个因素吗？虽然这两个因素都属于economic~~

请NN指点！
