GWD-26-Q25-Q27 18世纪妇女和男人在civil cases中的变化 In colonial Connecticut between 1670 and 1719, women participated in one of every six civil cases, the Line vast majority of which were debt-(20) and at a much faster rate. Single, married, and widowed women (5) related. Women’s participation dropped to one in ten cases after 1719, and to one in twenty by the 1770’s. however, as Cornelia Hughes Dayton notes in Women (10) Before the Bar: Gender, Law, and Society in Connecticut, 1639-1789, these statistics are somewhat deceptive: in fact, both the absolute numbers and (15) the percentage of adult women participating in civil cases grew steadily throughout the eighteenth century, but the legal activity of men also increased dramatically,
continued to pursue their own and their husbands’ debtors through legal action much as they had (25) done in the previous century, but despite this continuity, their place in the legal system shifted dramatically. Men’s commercial interests and credit networks (30) became increasingly far-flung, owing in part to the ability of creditors to buy and sell prom- issory notes (legal promises to pay debts). At the same time, (35) women’s networks of credit and debt remained primarily local and personal. Dayton contends that, although still performing crucial economic services in their (40) communities—services that contributed to the commercialization of the colonial economy—women remained for the most part outside the new economic and legal culture of the eighteenth century. Q26 According to the passage, compared with women in eighteenth-century Connecticut, men were Amore likely to rely on credit and go into debt Bmore likely to pursue their families’ debtors Cmore likely to participate in economic transactions outside their own communities Dless likely to perform economic services in their own communities. Eless likely to participate in civil cases that were not debt-related. 涉及到取非思路,A选项不对,因为文章没有提到go into debt。C是把文章最后一句话,women 在communities中,但是outside of the new economic culture,说明men更多地outside their own communities. 还是不明白啊```大家给看看吧 不胜感激~~~!!
