GWD1-5为什么enhance 是改写而不是错的？？

Q4 to Q6:

      The fields of antebellum (pre-Civil

       War) political history and women’s his-

       tory use separate sources and focus

Line      on separate issues.  Political histori-

  (5)     ans, examining sources such as voting

records, newspapers, and politicians’

writings, focus on the emergence in the

1840’s of a new “American political

nation,” and since women were neither

 (10)     voters nor politicians, they receive little

discussion.  Women’s historians, mean-

while, have shown little interest in the

subject of party politics, instead draw-

ing on personal papers, legal  records

 (15)     such as wills, and records of  female

associations to illuminate women’s

domestic lives, their moral reform

activities, and the emergence of the

woman’s rights movement.

 (20)           However, most historians have

underestimated the extent and signifi-

cance of women’s political allegiance

in the antebellum period.  For example,

       in the presidential election campaigns

 (25)     of the 1840’s, the Virginia Whig party

strove to win the allegiance of Virginia’s

women by inviting them to rallies and

speeches.  According to Whig propa-

ganda, women who turned out at the

 (30)     party’s rallies gathered information

that enabled them to mold party-loyal

families, reminded men of moral values

       that transcended party loyalty, and con-

ferred moral standing on the party.

 (35)     Virginia Democrats, in response,

       began to make similar appeals to

women as well.  By the mid-1850’s

the inclusion of women in the rituals of

party politics had become common-

 (40)     place, and the ideology that justified

such inclusion had been assimilated

by the Democrats.

According to the second paragraph of the passage (lines 20-42), Whig propaganda included the assertion that

1. women should enjoy more political rights than they did

2. women  were the most important influences on political attitudes within a family

3. women’s reform activities reminded men of important moral values

4. women’s demonstrations at rallies would influence men’s voting behavior

5. women’s presence at rallies would enhance the moral standing of the party

选项E

开头讲：对于战前的历史，政治史学家和女性史学家从不同的角度看。政治史学家强调投票，报纸，writing什么什么的。女性史学家强调女性的民主生活，女权运动，还有moral reform activity（注意这个词是在这里出现的，这个行为是女性和政治无关的活动）。

第二段开头是中心局：但是他们都忽略了战前女性对政治的参与。这个propaganda只是inviting women to rallies and speeches，就像E里面说得presence，并没有女性的reform activity。

它这里就是利用前面读过reform activity的印象制造混淆

reminded men of moral values
that transcended party loyalty, and conferred moral standing on the party.

这个是原文的定位。

说说偶的理解吧。
                

A。原文没有说到enjoy的内容，错。

B。most important influences ，原文没有出现，错。

C。women’s reform activities reminded men of important moral values。文中应该是
                

women who turned out at the
(30) party’s rallies gathered information
that enabled them to mold party-loyal
families, reminded men of moral values
that transcended party loyalty, and con-
ferred moral standing on the party.

D。voting behavior，无关，错。

open to discussion

呵呵，刚看过这道题，除了用排除法外，还可以直接选啊，就是“con-
ferred moral standing on the party”意思的改写啊，关键是要懂得CONFER（
        赋与；
        使具有）的意思，我最先做的时候就不懂。

E选项中的 PRESENCE 对应原文的 TURN OUT ， TURN OUT 在这里意思是出现。

问题是？？？？？？

上面是我看了所有的贴子与之有关的都贴下来了。enhance the moral standing of the party是什么意思呢，怎么会是改写呢，从哪里看出来了enhance

 (30)     party’s rallies gathered information

通篇都在讲how women enhance the moral standing of the party, 不要太抠字眼，关键是文章的意思要搞懂。
