Q10 to Q12:

      Linda Kerber argued in the mid-

       1980’s that after the American Revolution

       (1775-1783), an ideology of “republican

Line       motherhood” resulted in a surge of edu-

  (5)       cational opportunities for women in the

United States.  Kerber maintained that

the leaders of the new nation wanted

women to be educated in order to raise

politically virtuous sons.  A virtuous citi-

(10)      zenry was considered essential to the

success of the country’s republican form

of government; virtue was to be instilled

not only by churches and schools, but

by families, where the mother’s role

(15)      was crucial.  Thus, according to Kerber,

motherhood became pivotal to the fate

of the republic, providing justification for

an unprecedented attention to female

education.

(20)            Introduction of the republican moth-

       erhood thesis dramatically changed

       historiography.  Prior to Kerber’s work,

educational historians barely mentioned

women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929

(25)      work is the notable exception.  Examining

newspaper advertisements for acade-

mies, Woody found that educational

opportunities increased for both girls

and boys around 1750.  Pointing to “An

(30)      Essay on Woman” (1753) as reflecting

a shift in view, Woody also claimed that

practical education for females had

       many advocates before the Revolution.

Woody’s evidence challenges the notion

(35)     that the Revolution changed attitudes

regarding female education, although it

may have accelerated earlier trends.

Historians’ reliance on Kerber’s “repub-

      lican motherhood” thesis may have

(40)     obscured the presence of these trends,

making it difficult to determine to what

extent the Revolution really changed

women’s lives.

Q10:

According to the passage, within the field of educational history, Thomas Woody’s 1929 work was

Hi, CBSF!

As you mentioned, I also support choice B.

In the second sentence of second pragraph, it just mention all historians but Woody to study education involved women and girls. So, atypical as amendment of noticable exception, Choice B is the best.

No evidence to support Woody solely concentrate on the particular period, according to the passage, one can infer that other historians also study education history before and after US Revolution, however, only Woody concentrate on education of Women & Girls.No original support view as choice E.

I am sure.

What I said above is that Choice E "atypical in that it examined the education of girls" is right. rather than B.

这道题目我认为B是正确的，原文30行开始说Woody指出战前就有很多人支持女性教育，而且他还认为revolution只是加速了支持女性受教育而不是引发女性教育的问题。

如果不是Woody研究战前的问题，他怎么会提出这样的论点呢？

Pointing to “An

(30)     Essay on Woman” (1753) as reflecting

a shift in view, Woody also claimed that

practical education for females had

            many advocates before the Revolution.

Woody’s evidence challenges the notion

(35)    that the Revolution changed attitudes

regarding female education, although it

may have accelerated earlier trends.
