Many scholars have theorized that
economic development, particularly
industrialization and urbanization, con-
Line tributes to the growth of participatory
(5) democracy; according to this theory, it
would seem logical that women would
both demand and gain suffrage投票权 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 LACE w:st="on">SwitzerlandLACE> until the 1970’s? LACE w:st="on">Indus-LACE>
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, LACE w:st="on">SwitzerlandLACE> and the United
States diverged in the degree to
(25) which the expansion of industry coin-
cided 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 LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> prior to 1920,
for example, only less urbanized
states had granted women suffrage.
Similarly, less urbanized countries
(35) such as Cambodia and LACE w:st="on">GhanaLACE> 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.
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 applicabilityof 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
为什么不是B 呢，答案C 。
前面说这个理由不对，那个理由不对，最后一句指出了正确的理由，难道不应该是B 吗？？ |
