 GWD-25-Q25-Q28

   In mid-February 1917
                                    a        

women’s movement independent   

of political affiliation erupted in

    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       

    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.

   
                            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

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         

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.

   
                            Although
                        New York’s Social-

(50) ists saw the cost-of-living 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.

D.  To chronicle the sequence of events that led to the New York Socialist party’s emergence as a political power

E. To analyze the motivations behind the Socialist party’s involvement in the women’s suffrage movement.

答案是c，我选了a。c中的historical perspective以及different approaches到底在文中那里体现？a又错在哪呢？

还请nn指教。

这个帖子被回复了我为什么没有收到消息。。。

e我乍一看也没看出来。。。后来才发现主题不对了。e说的是妇女选举权（suffrage）运动背后socialist party的动机，是错误的。因为整篇文章妇女都只是为了物价而斗争。选举权是socialist party的想法。

我想问的是：

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.

这段说明了什么？  我实在无法理解。。。

还有，

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.

应该做何解释？我就是把每个字都翻出来，但意思还是不对味。。。

谢谢啦~~~
