以下是引用vacationer在2005-9-11 10:13:00的发言:T-4-8~11:GWD-13-16~19
In 1675, Louis XIV
established the Parisian
seamstresses’ guild, the first
Line independent all-female guild
(5) created in over 200 years.
Guild members could make
and sell women’s and chil-
dren’s clothing, but were
prohibited from producing
(10) men’s clothing or dresses
for court women. Tailors
resented the ascension of
seamstresses to guild status;
seamstresses, meanwhile,
(15) were impatient with the
remaining restrictions on
their right to clothe women.
。。。。。。。。
Moreover, guild membership
held very different meanings
(30) for tailors and seamstresses.
To the tailors, their status as
guild members overlapped
with their role as heads of
household, and entitled them
(35) to employ as seamstresses
female family members who
did not marry outside the trade.
The seamstresses, however,
viewed guild membership as
(40) a mark of independence from
the patriarchal family. Their
guild was composed not of
family units but of individual
women who enjoyed unusual
(45) legal and economic privileges.

T-4-9:GWD-13-17:
According to the passage, one source of dissatisfaction for Parisian seamstresses after the establishment of the seamstresses’ guild was that
A. seamstresses were not allowed to make and sell clothing for all women
B. tailors continued to have the exclusive legal right to clothe men
C. seamstresses who were relatives of tailors were prevented from becoming members of the seamstresses’ guild
D. rivalry between individual seamstresses increased, thus hindering their ability to compete with the tailors for business
E. seamstresses were not allowed to accept male tailors as members of the guild
第一个黄色部分说明guild是make and sell 的,但是他们受到一些限制,使得他们不能make and sell;第二个黄色部分与第一个黄色部分对应,说明他们就是对上面限制中的clotheing women不满,所以我觉得这里的clothe应该是make and sell,不然只作不卖有什么意义呢??

T-4-10:GWD-13-18:
It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following was true of seamstresses employed by relatives who were members of the tailors’ guild?
A. They were instrumental in convincing Louis XIV to establish the seamstresses’ guild.
B. They were rarely allowed to assist master tailors in the production of men’s clothing.
C. They were considered by some tailors to be a threat to the tailors’ monopoly.
D. They did not enjoy the same economic and legal privileges that members of the seamstresses’ guild enjoyed.
E. They felt their status as working women gave them a certain degree of independence from the patriarchal family.
E选项对应的是原文的蓝色部分,可是原文中所说对象与这道题的题目要求的对象不一致,原文是说seamstresses........,这道题问的是seamstresses employed by relatives who were members of the tailors’ guild,是有限定的seamstresses,是指的tailor那个阵营里的人,两者截然相反,这道题的答案应该定位在紫色部分。第一个紫色部分说明tailor。。。。,第二个紫色部分说明seamstresses......,因为两者强对比关系,所以tailor did not enjoy the same economic and legal privileges that members of the seamstresses’ guild enjoyed.也就是D选项。

还是不能理解第9题的A,clothe=make,不应该包括sell吧?
还有第10题,E怎么不对呢?
