GWD26-Q25-27

In colonial Connecticut between

1670 and 1719, women participated

in one of every six civil cases, the

Line  vast majority of which were debt-

(5) related. Women’s participation

   dropped to one in ten cases after

   1719, and to one in twenty by the

   1770’s. however, as Cornelia

   Hughes Dayton notes in Women

(10) Before the Bar: Gender, Law,

and Society in Connecticut,

1639-1789, these statistics are

somewhat deceptive: in fact,

both the absolute numbers and

(15) the percentage of adult women

participating in civil cases grew

steadily throughout the eighteenth

century, but the legal activity of

men also increased dramatically,

(20) and at a much faster rate. Single,

married, and widowed women

continued to pursue their own and

their husbands’ debtors through

legal action much as they had

(25) done in the previous century, but

despite this continuity, their place

in the legal system shifted

dramatically. Men’s commercial

interests and credit networks

(30) became increasingly far-flung,

owing in part to the ability of

creditors to buy and sell prom-

issory notes (legal promises to

pay debts). At the same time,

(35) women’s networks of credit and

debt remained primarily local and

personal. Dayton contends that,

although still performing crucial

economic services in their

(40) communities—services that

contributed to the commercialization

of the colonial economy—women

remained for the most part outside

the new economic and legal culture

of the eighteenth century.

Q27

The passage suggests that which of the following

best compares the economic concerns of women

with those of men toward the close of the eighteenth

Century in colonial Connecticut?

(A)  Both men and women had more economic

responsibilities at the end of the century

than they had had at the beginning of the

century.

(B)  Women’s economic activities had become

less varied by the end of the century;

men’s economic activities had become

more varied.

(C)  Women’s economic activities at the end of

the century were similar to their activities

at the beginning; men’s economic activities

changed considerably.

(D)  Women’s economic concerns at the end of

the century were primarily familial; men’s

economic concerns were primarily political.

(E)   Women’s economic concerns at the end of

the century were primarily personal; men’s

economic needs were primarily familial.

答案是Ｂ，我觉得应该选Ｃ，大家看呢

participating in civil cases grew

steadily throughout the eighteenth

century, but the legal activity of

men also increased dramatically,

and at a much faster rate.

B is definitely the best answer here.

你选C的错误：

1. 你所标出的remain跟Women’s economic activities的变化没有任何关系，remain只是一个局部的概念。

    例如我可以说：虽经沧桑，依然故我。（这里故我,remain的只是一小部分东西，比如说性格或世界观。而并不说什么都不变，比如说年龄，职位，学历，婚姻等等）

2.定位主题题的答案时，不要全文找，要先找首段，找到中心观点就可以了，想得越多倒并不好，GMAC也没想让我们把整篇文章都真得看很懂

up

participating in civil cases grew

steadily throughout the eighteenth

century, but the legal activity of

men also increased dramatically,

and at a much faster rate.

(B)  Women’s economic activities had become

less varied by the end of the century;

men’s economic activities had become

more varied.

这个题我也不太懂，B的意思和2楼黄色标出部分的意思好像不一样啊

我理解B是说到世纪末，妇女的经济活动变得越来越没有变化了（种类少），而男性的经济活动变得更富有变化了。而黄色部分是说18世纪，女性参与的民事案件的比例稳步增长，男性参与民事案件的比例以更快的速度增长。

我也选了C，与楼主原因一致。
