写错了，支持B

马上考

15, I choose E.

annding

支持15题选A.(虽然我做题时选了E)

选E是没有理解Line39开始的最后两句话。关于Popular literary satires on marriage had already landed on fertile ground in a multiethnic population，然后又说These ethnic- and class-based traditions themselves challenged the legitimacy of patriarchal marriage. 原因不是在school。从而证明了这一段的主题：Wulf probably overstates Quaker schools’ impact.

可见，作者要challenge/argue的不是a critique of marriage was prevalent among young women of all social classes这个fact；而是造成这个fact的原因，与Wulf强调的Quaker schools’ impact没多大关系。即，A所说的，argue against one aspect of Wulf’s account of how ideas critical of marriage were disseminated among young women in colonial Philadelphia.——the primary purpose of the passage.

同上。正确理解了primary purpose,16题的attitude以及18题的weaken也很容易选出。（C,B）

今天重做了一次，对于17题有新的想法。为什么不选E呢?第一段不是说”engaged
                    in resistance to

            patriarchal marriage by exchanging

            poetry critical of marriage, copying

            verse into their commonplace

                books. “吗? 请指点我一下，谢谢!

这篇文章没怎么看明白,大家说说大意把

flyawayaloe

15题应该选A. E错。
E认为主要目的是在challenge Wulf’s conclusion that a critique of marriage was prevalent among young women of all social classes in colonial Philadelphia。但其实作者承认Wulf is correct that a critique of patriarchal marriage circulated broadly(也就是prevalent的意思), 作者主要是在反对Wulf probably overstates Quaker schools’ impact。这是第二段的主题句。同时这一观点也在文章最后再次repeat，“Quaker schools probably cannot be credited with instilling these ideas in the lower classes.”，而是These ethnic- and class-based traditions themselves challenged the legitimacy of patriarchal marriage。

17题的E是个迷惑选项,诗里反对patriarchal marriage 是没错,关键错在诗文与practice无关.来看看这句"Popular literary satires on marriage had already landed on fertile ground in a multiethnic

population that embodied a widerange of marital beliefs and practice" 是satires而非 poetry celebrated marital beliefs and practices that were in opposition to patriarchal marriage.

17题正确答案应该是E

理由: 回归到第二段的最后一句话

            opular literary satires

 (40)     on marriage had already landed

on fertile ground in a multiethnic

population that embodied a wide

range of marital beliefs and

practices.  These ethnic- and

 (45)      class-based traditions them-

selves challenged the legitimacy

of patriarchal marriage.

E恰好是它的改写.The poetry celebrated marital beliefs and practices that were in opposition to patriarchal marriage.需要补充的一点: poetry本身属于literary satires

D的意思是诗的影响力受到理解力的制约.The poetry’s capacity to influence
                    popular attitudes was restricted by the degree of literacy necessary to comprehend it.

通读第二段,可以知道文章的大意是说学校影响力之所以被overstate就是因为学生达到理解诗歌程度的比较少,从而证明学校不是大众female attitude change的渠道.最后一句也恰好说明这点-had already landed on fertile ground in a multiethnic population(意思是诗歌等的文学讽刺作品早已在大众的沃土里根生), 即说明即使大众不能完全领会文学作品其深刻的含义,但是仍然可以popular received and be changed attitude

E说的是否定W的结论:critique of marriag是流行的

可流行与否并不是W的结论,我们看到第一段或者整篇文章是说这些作品的影响力,只有A中how ideas critical of marriage were disseminated与之相一致,
