今天看了很多关于这篇文章的讨论，觉得有些散了，所以我就把两个GWD里的相关题总结了一下，希望能对大家有帮助，我月底考试了，大家都加油！ Historians who study European women of the Renaissance try to mea- sure “independence,” “options,” and Line other indicators of the degree to which (5) the expression of women’s individuality was either permitted or suppressed. Influenced by Western individualism, these historians define a peculiar form of personhood: an innately bounded (10) unit, autonomous and standing apart from both nature and society. An anthropologist, however, would contend that a person can be conceived in ways other than as an “individual.” In many (15) societies a person’s identity is not intrinsically unique and self-contained but instead is defined within a complex web of social relationships. In her study of the fifteenth-century (20) Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a historian who specializes in European women of the Renaissance attributes individual intention and authorship of actions to her subject. This historian (25) assumes that Alessandra had goals and interests different from those of her sons, yet much of the historian’s own research reveals that Alessandra acted primarily as a champion of her (30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as her own. Thus Alessandra conforms more closely to the anthropologist’s notion that personal motivation is embedded in a social context. Indeed, (35) one could argue that Alessandra did not distinguish her personhood from that of her sons. In Renaissance Europe the boundaries of the con- ceptual self were not always firm (40) and closed and did not necessarily coincide with the boundaries of the bodily self. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GWD5-5=GWD3-37: In the first paragraph, the author of the passage mentions a contention that would be made by an anthropologist most likely in order to present a theory that will be undermined in the discussion of a historian’s study later in the passage offer a perspective on the concept of personhood that can usefully be applied to the study of women in Renaissance Europe undermine the view that the individuality of European women of the Renaissance was largely suppressed argue that anthropologists have applied the Western concept of individualism in their research lay the groundwork for the conclusion that Alessandra’s is a unique case among European women of the Renaissance whose lives have been studied by historians
An anthropologist, however, would contend that a person can be conceived in ways other than as an “individual.” In many (15) societies a person’s identity is not intrinsically unique and self-contained but instead is defined within a complex web of social relationships. 选B吧，其他都不对，第二段举例就用到了 contend后面的东西 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q6: According to the passage, much of the research on Alessandra
Strozzi done by the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) supports which of the following conclusions? Alessandra used her position as her sons’ sole guardian to further interests different from those of her sons. Alessandra unwillingly sacrificed her own interests in favor of those of her sons. Alessandra’s actions indicate that her motivations and intentions were those of an independent individual. Alessandra’s social context encouraged her to take independent action. Alessandra regarded her sons’ goals and interests as her own.
yet much of the historian’s own research reveals that Alessandra acted primarily as a champion of her (30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as her own. 选E，A－D都不对。红字部分可能就是原因吧 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GWD5-Q7=GWD3-35 The passage suggests that the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) would be most likely to agree with which of the following assertions regarding Alessandra Strozzi? Alessandra was able to act more independently than most women of her time because she was a widow. Alessandra was aware that her personal motivation was embedded in a social context. Alessandra had goals and interests similar to those of many other widows in her society. Alessandra is an example of a Renaissance woman who expressed her individuality through independent action. Alessandra was exceptional because she was able to effect changes in the social constraints placed upon women in her society.
Thus Alessandra conforms more closely to the anthropologist’s notion that personal motivation is embedded in a social context 选E，A，C划线部分都与文章不相关吧，B，文章中不是Ale自己有什么意识，而是作者的结论，D不对吧，他表现得更多的是他son的，不是her individuality.所以选E。上面红字部分我认为可以当作原因吧。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GWD3-36: It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes which of the following about the study of Alessandra
Strozzi done by the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42)? Alessandra was atypical of her time and was therefore an inappropriate choice for the subject of the historian’s research. In order to bolster her thesis, the historian adopted the anthropological perspective on personhood. The historian argues that the boundaries of the conceptual self were not always firm and closed in Renaissance Europe. In her study, the historian reverts to a traditional approach that is out of step with the work of other historians of Renaissance Europe. The interpretation of Alessandra’s actions that the historian puts forward is not supported by much of the historian’s research.
This historian (25) assumes that Alessandra had goals and interests different from those of her sons, yet much of the historian’s own research reveals that Alessandra acted primarily as a champion of her (30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as her own. 选E，由上面的yet，首先说明这句话没错。A-D好像都有些错误。 希望大家对我的答案和解法提出点意见，如果哪位NN有更好的解法，请帖上吧，大家一起学习进步！ 加油加油！！！
