In the 1750‘s, when salons were firmly established
in France, some English women, who called
themselves ―Bluestocking,‖ followed the example of
Line the salonnieres (French salon hostesses) and formed
5 their own salons. Most Bluestockings did not wish to
mirror the salonnieres; they simply desired to adapt a
proven formula to their own purpose—the elevation
of women‘s status through moral and intellectual
training. Differences in social orientation and back-
10 ground can account perhaps for differences in the
nature of French and English salons. The French
salon incorporated aristocratic attitudes that exalted
courtly pleasure and emphasized artistic accomplish-
ments. The English Bluestockings, originating from a
15 more modest background, emphasized learning and
work over pleasure. Accustomed to the regimented life
of court circles, salonnieres tended toward formality
in their salons. The English women, though somewhat
puritanical, were more casual in their approach.

3. According to the passage, a significant distinction
between the salonnieres and Bluestockings was in the
way each group regarded which of the following?
(A) The value of acquiring knowledge
(B) The role of pleasure in the activities of the
literary salon
(C) The desirability of a complete break with
societal traditions
(D) The inclusion of women of different back-
grounds in the salons
(E) The attainment of full social and political
equality with men

正确答案是B，我选了A

我是这样想的.....
定位到：The French
salon incorporated aristocratic attitudes that exalted
courtly pleasure and emphasized artistic accomplish-
ments. The English Bluestockings, originating from a
15 more modest background, emphasized learning and
work over pleasure.

说明French salon重视pleasure和artistic accomplishments，English Bluestockings 重视learning和work。B选项里pleasure正确，但是literary没有提到，排除；A选项中acquiring knowledge=learning，正确。

为什么不对呢？？

A选项说学习的价值，但是法国沙龙没有提到学习知识吧；B选项重点是pleasure， in the activities of the literary salon是说这个沙龙是文学性的，在前面提到the elevation
of women‘s status through moral and intellectual training.说明英国这个沙龙是文学性的。所以B正确
我是这么想的....

moral and intellectual training=humane learning，这样看就想明白了！
