GWD25-25-28 请大家帮忙看一下

支持C。文章重点是两者各自是如何做的，不是他们对于issue的view，view是为了说明为什么会产生这两种approach。

#1- boycott
    

Protesting against the high cost of living, thousands of women refused to buy chickens, fish, and  vegetables.
        

#2- New York Socialists 

seized the opportunity and quickly organized an extensive series of cost-of-living protests designed to direct the women’s movement toward Socialist goals.

#3- 作者进一步分析两者的做法

25题我本来选A,后来选D，现在我坚定的支持A了，因为问题是这样问的：The author suggests which of the following about the New York Socialists’ commitment to the cost-of-living movement?

也就是问NY社会主义者是怎样对待c-o-l的，D选项的主语是it，但指代的其实是c-o-l movement是如何和社会主义者的目的不谋而合的，所以错！

26-C，widespread consumer protests是指打击面过广的反对运动（可能被社会主义者误导？），而boycotters就是想把价格拉下来，所以是concentration，可以理解为一种回归；

27-A，GWD阅读做到现在发现有一个特点，就是主题题不可以有一丁点错误，而resolution真的在原文无法定位，反正我没有找到；另外，主题题很大程度上是考察我们对于作者说话的tone的理解，全无没有这种resolution的感觉。。

这个GWD16做得忒郁闷的说，都是争议题。。

mine: a a a b

In mid-February 1917 a women’s movement independent of political affiliation erupted in Line New York City, the stronghold of (5) the Socialist party in the United states. Protesting against the high cost of living, thousands of women refused to buy chickens, fish, and vegetables. The boycott shut.(10) down much of the City’s foodstuffs marketing for two weeks, riveting public attention on the issue of food prices, which had increased partly as a result of increased(15) exports of food to Europe that had been occurring since the outbreak of the First World War.
   
   By early 1917 the Socialist party had established itself as a(20) major political presence in New York City. New York Socialists, whose customary spheres of struggle were electoral work and trade union organizing, seized the (25) opportunity and quickly organized an extensive series of cost-of-living protests designed to direct the women’s movement toward Socialist goals. Underneath the (30) Socialists’ brief commitment to cost-of-living organizing lay a basic indifference to the issue itself. While some Socialists did view price protests as a direct (35) step toward socialism, most Socialists ultimately sought to divert the cost-of-living movement into alternative channels of protest. Union organizing, they argued, (40) was the best method through which to combat the high cost of living. For others, cost-of-living or oganiz-ing was valuable insofar as it led women into the struggle for suf-(45) frage, and similarly, the suffrage struggle was valuable insofar as it moved United States society one step closer to socialism.

    Although New York’s Social-(50) ists saw the cost-of-living issue as, at best ,secondary or tertiary to the real task at hand, the boy- cotters, by sharp contrast, joined the price protest movement out of (55) an urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living issue. A shared experience of swiftly declining living standards caused by rising food prices drove these (60) women to protest. Consumer  organizing spoke directly to their daily lives and concerns; they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself. Food price protests (65) were these women’s way of organizing at their own workplace, as workers whose occupation was shopping and preparing food for their families.

25 －－黄色标出部分
The author suggests which of the following about the New York Socialists’ commitment to the cost-of-living movement?   A
A. It lasted for a relatively short period of time.   --与brief commitment对应
D.  It coincided with their attempts to bring more Women into union organizing.
        coincide的意思是：to happen at the same time as something else, especially by chance
        Socialists是有意图要这么干的，用coincide不合适。另外Sociaist goals 不能简单的和 bring more women into union organization 划等号，文章没有这方面清晰的表述

26 －－蓝色标出部分：A
   引起public注意是结果，不是目的。目的要降价，就是economic outcome

Q27
Which of the following best states the function of the passage as a whole? A
A. To contrast the views held by the Socialist party and by the boycotting women of New York City on the cost-of-living issue
    虽然A不是完美的答案，contrast the view的说法值得商榷。但是文章第一段讲事件，第二段讲Socialists，第三段讲boycotters，A整体上而言还行。
C. To provide a historical perspective on different approaches to the resolution of the cost-of-living issue.
    a historical perspective，谁的？作者的？我不觉得文章有比较明显的表明作者的立场。另外approach to resolution的说法也不对，文章没有涉及如何resolute the cost-of-living issue

25题原文说New York Socialists,whose customary spheres of struggle were electoral work and trade union organizing，seized the　opportunity and quickly organized　an extensive series of cost-of-living protests designed to direct　the women’s movement toward　Socialist goals.即union organizing是它的主要目标之一,而组织妇女运动是为了实现这一目标(attempts to bring more Women into union organizing),而对于妇女运动本身,社会党有commitment(姑且翻译为责任)但是很少(brief).或者再结合后文，即妇女运动虽然有点用(于是社会党有点commitment),但它的更重要的是为了实现社会主义最终目标,或者说与社会主义最终目标相一致,于是,妇女运动自身的一点作用与其更重要的作用coincided with

另外,后面的brief commitment指的是社会党尽管组织了妇女运动，但其实对这件事本身并不关心，而是想借助其实现自己目标，或者divert  the cost-of-living movement

i　nto alternative channels of protest．所以，这里的brief是不合适直接翻译为It lasted for a relatively short period of time．而且题目中并没有强调这个brief,所以说D是正确的

lewton

26题我不认为是C,问题问的是妇女的目标是什么,一段的

The boycott shut. down much of the City’s foodstuffs marketing for two weeks, riveting public attention on the issue of 
                food prices,并不能作为目标来处理,而且C的widespread consumer protests与 public attention 并不一致.

我也认为是A,an immediate economic outcome,这里与三段一致,they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself,三段结尾的意思大致就是这些人本身就是要买菜的家庭妇女,物价上升使得生活水平下降,这才是他们搞革命的原因,

Consumer organizing spoke directly to their daily lives and concerns,

B实现共产主义,D多种方法,E社会党认为重要的issue原文并没有

请指教

第27题我认为是A

To contrast the views held by the Socialist party
            and by the boycotting women of New York City on the cost-of-living issue,原文二段说社会党组织妇女运动的目的,三段说妇女自己搞革命的目的,虽然不能准确说是contrast,但A选项明显优于其他

C的different approaches to the resolution of the cost-of-living issue,解决高生活成本问题的各种方法原文并没有,只说了一种即妇女运动,在二段它的还有其隐藏目的即实现社会党的目标

其他的,如B的潜在假设,D的编年史,E的suffrage movement原文中都没有或者不是重点

chamcham

so what should be the answer for 25?

chamcham

vote for A for 27.

“different approaches to the resolution of the cost-of-living issue” is not mentioned, neither is “a historical perspective”.

第2 and 3 段就讲了socialist party 对protest的两种看法 and boyscttter’s view

So A

bigmachine

真不想再做下去了...........
