1. GWD-3-Q35 to Q37文艺复兴时期妇女独立人格的研究(以某WIDOW为例) 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. 人类学家的观点 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.举例 我下了一个大牛的gwd解题版,后面有一道题GMAT Test - Section 4: Verbal - 第07套 6 of 41谁知道是什么告诉我一下) Qestions 5 to 7 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. 为什么选E呢,不是问historian的观点么?不是C?不懂了,nn指教一下
