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.  rior 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.  ointing 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.

Q12:

The passage suggests that, with regard to the history of women’s education in the United States, Kerber’s work differs from Woody’s primarily concerning which of the following?

It's rally hard to choose between B&D.

For B, the"girl" is very strange since the topic is about the woman.

I prefer D....(but not sure)

偶选B. 你仔细读第二段WOODY论述中提到的时间---1750年对男女来说教育机会均等提高了. 1753年WOODY认为, 已经在提倡妇女教育了. 这些事件都是在REVOLUTION之前. 显然KERBER是认为在此之前妇女受教育是没啥给改善的.

要说两者的DIFFERENCE, B比D更直接.

请教一下Q10.

Q10:

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

1. innovative because it relied on newspaper advertisements as evidence
2. exceptional in that it concentrated on the period before the American Revolution
3. unusual in that it focused on educational attitudes rather than on educational practices
4. controversial in its claims regarding educational opportunities for boys
5. atypical in that it examined the education of girls

答案是D. 可是Woody的研究根本没有提到boys啊。

我选的是E.

I think the key is B.

Thomas Woody’s 1929

(25)      work is the notable exception

根据文章的说法，Woody的研究exceptional, 是因为没有人研究women and girls啊...

Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.

同意rhod，Q10应该是E。

Q12，我认为是D，理由如下：

文章中没有提到Kerber's work 对prior to the American Revolution的教育情况的研究，所以不能知道他对革命前妇女教育发展情况的观点，没法比较K和W在这方面的差异。所以，我认为B不对。

由下面的句子：

Woody’s evidence challenges the notion

(35)    that the Revolution changed attitudes

regarding female education

可以看出：K和W的差异主要在于革命是否改变了对妇女教育的态度，所以认为应该选D。

选D,

10,B girl的范围太小了。K没有说girl.
