OG －２２－１３２

小女公子

The new school of political history that emerged in the 1960’s and 1970’s sought to go beyond the traditional focus of political historians on leaders and government

institutions by examining directly the political practices of ordinary citizens. Like the old approach, however, this new approach excluded women. The very techniques these historians used to uncover mass political behavior in the nineteenth-century laceName w:st="on">UnitedlaceName> laceType w:st="on">StatelaceType> – quantitative analyses of election returns, for example – were useless in analyzing the political activities of women, who were denied the vote until 1920.

132.

The best answer is D. Lines 6-11 provide an example of the techniques used by the new political historians-quantitative analyses of election returns-and state that these techniques were unsuited for analyzing the political activities of women, who could not vote in the nineteenth century. This suggests that, in general, the techniques used by these historians were of more use in analyzing the political behavior of nineteenth-century voters than in analyzing the political activities of those who could not vote during that period. Choice A can be eliminated because the first sentence of the passage states that the new historians sought to go beyond a focus on leaders. There is no information in the passage to support B, C, or E.

of more use是更加有用的，而不是更多使用的意思吧。
