请教补充题目passage2的第7题

PASSAGE 2
        
Woodrow Wilson was referring to the liberal idea of the economic market when he said that the free enterprise system is the most efficient economic system. Maximum freedom means
5)

        
maximum productiveness; our "openness" is to be the measure of our stability. Fascination withthis ideal has made Americans defy the "Old World" categories of settled possessiveness versus unsettling deprivation, the cupidity of retention
10)
versus the cupidity of seizure, a "status quo"defended or attacked. The United States, it was believed, had no status quo ante. Our only "sta-tion" was the turning of a stationary wheel, spin-ning faster and faster. We did not base our
15)
system on property but opportunity---which meant we based it not on stability but on mobil-ity. The more things changed, that is, the more rapidly the wheel turned, the steadier we wouldbe. The conventional picture of class politics is
20)
composed of the Haves, who want a stability to keep what they have, and the Have-Nots, who want a touch of instability and change in which to scramble for the things they have not. But Americans imagined a condition in which spec-
25)
ulators, self-makers, runners are always using the new opportunities given by our land. These eco-nomic leaders(front-runners) would thus he mainly agents of change. The nonstarters were considered the ones who wanted stability, a
30)
strong referee to give them some position in therace, a regulative hand to calm manic specula-tion; an authority that can call things to a halt,begin things again from compensatorily stag-gered "starting lines."
35)
* "Reform" in America has been sterile because it can imagine no change except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclu-sion of competitors, "a piece of the action," as it were, for the disenfranchised. There is no
40)
attempt to call off the race. Since our only sta-bility is change, America seems not to honor the quiet work that achieves social interdependence and stability. There is, in our legends, no hero-ism of the office clerk, no stable industrial work

) force of the people who actually make the system work. There is no pride in being an employee(Wilson asked for a return to the time when everyone was an employer). There has been no boasting about our social workers---they are
50)
merely signs of the system's failure, of opportu-nity denied or not taken, of things to be elimi-nated. We have no pride in our growinginterdependence, in the fact that our system can serve others, that we are able to help those in
55)
need; empty boasts from the past make us ashamed of our present achievements, make us try to forget or deny them, move away from them. There is no honor but in the Wonderlandrace we must all run, all trying to win, none

winning in the end(for there is no end).

7. It can be inferred from the passage that WoodrowWilson's ideas about the economic market
(A) encouraged those who "make the system work"(lines 45-46)
(B) perpetuated traditional legends about America
(C) revealed the prejudices of a man born wealthy
(D) foreshadowed the stock market crash of 1929
(E) began a tradition of presidential proclamations oneconomics

想问一下这道题目怎么能选出B呢?谢谢大家。

这文章作者的态度是批判,所以讲到WW的观点,我们要尽量找贬义词

1.仔细看文中最后一句none winning in the end(for there is no end). 和perpetuated是意思相同的.

2. legends 我觉得是贬义词

所以排除加肯定,我选择了这.

如有不对,请大家一起讨论更正

跟第一题,最后一题都有关系

作者在第一段里比较两种观点,

在第二段

如果按照Woodrow Wilson的观点,就会41行seems (实际上含否定意思),49行they are 
        
merely signs of the system's failure

在后面in the fact that而事实上是 our system can serve others否定Woodrow Wilson的观点

作者认为Woodrow Wilson的观点perpetuated traditional legends about America

终于等到这位NNlukeleng了,我觉得如果你不考到780都会郁闷了。

这篇文章太难了,我都想放弃了,反正考试业碰不到这么难的。谢谢你的解释,很受用。
