In mid-February 1917 a
    

women’s movement independent

    

of political affiliation erupted in

    

Line New York City, the stronghold of

    

(5) the Socialist party in the United

    

   states. Protesting against the high

    

   cost of living, thousands of women

    

   refused to buy chickens, fish, and

    

   vegetables. The boycott shut.

    

(10) down much of the City’s foodstuffs

    

    marketing for two weeks, riveting

    

    public attention on the issue of                      ---------------------------Q26

    

    food prices, which had increased

    

    partly as a result of increased

    

(15) exports of food to Europe that had

    

    been occurring since the outbreak

    

of the First World War.

一段在讲一个历史事件，纽约的妇女制止高物价。

    

    By early 1917 the Socialist

    

party had established itself as a

    

(20) major political presence in New

    

York City. New York Socialists,

    

whose customary spheres of

    

    struggle were electoral work and

    

    trade union organizing, seized the

    

(25) opportunity and quickly organized

    

an extensive series of cost-of-

    

living protests designed to direct

    

the women’s movement toward

    

Socialist goals. Underneath the

    

(30) Socialists’ brief commitment to        ------------------------------------Q25

    

cost-of-living organizing lay a

    

basic indifference to the issue

    

itself. While some Socialists did

    

view price protests as a direct

    

(35) step toward socialism, most                 ----------------------------------Q28

    

Socialists
                ultimately sought to    

    

divert  the cost-of-living movement

    

into alternative channels of protest.

    

Union organizing, they argued,

    

(40) was the best method through which

    

to combat the high cost of living.

    

For others, cost-of-living or oganiz-

    

ing was valuable insofar as it led

    

women into the struggle for suf-

    

(45) frage, and similarly, the suffrage

    

struggle was valuable insofar as

    

it moved United States society

    

one step closer to socialism.

二段开始介绍New York Socialists，他们接下来的反应，和他们的真实目的。

    

    Although New York’s Social-

    

(50) ists saw the cost-of-living issue        -----------------------------Q27 承上启下，上段说的是how Socialists saw the cost-of-living issue, 相反的， 妇女是如何对待the issue

    

as, at best ,secondary or tertiary

    

to the real task at hand, the boy-

    

cotters, by sharp contrast, joined

    

    

    

the price protest movement out of

    

    

    

(55) an urgent and deeply felt commit-

    

    

    

ment to the cost-of-living issue.

    

A shared experience of swiftly

    

declining living standards caused

    

by rising food prices drove these

    

(60) women to protest. Consumer

    

    organizing spoke directly to their

    

daily lives and concerns; they

    

    

    

saw cheaper food as a valuable

    

    

    

end in itself. Food price protests

    

(65) were these women’s way of orga-

    

nizing at their own workplace, as

    

workers whose occupation was

    

shopping and preparing food for

    

their families.

三段开始说，尽管Socialists别有企图，但是妇女抵制者还是加入了抗议，接着分析她们这个做的原因：1她们感受到了生活质量下降因为高物价，这些抗议帮她们说话，她们以为目的能够达到 2，物价抗议跟她们的工作有关系。
