以下是引用linchenghui在2006-12-23 18:49:00的发言：I am almost certain that the correct answer is C,
because the whole passage of Scharf's Eleanor Rossevelt is discussing the SOCIAL BACKGROUND(that women put lots of efforts on reform)in Eleanor's time, not the FAMILY BACKGROUND of Eleanor herself.
Please also note the key sentences and phrases from the author:
Thanks to Scharf and others, Roosevelt's activities-for example, her support both for labor laws protecting women and for appointments of women to high public office-have become intelligible in terms of this
social context rather than as the idiosyncratic career of a famous man's wife.
social context=social background=social environment
idiosyncratic:person's particular way of thinking, behaving, etc that is clearly different from that of others.
(hence, this vocabulary is more close to personal growing background , rather than social environment)
Lets go to the answer choices:
C: An account of the legislative career of a conservative senator which showed his goals to have been derived from a national conservative movement of which the senator was a part.
The senator's goals come from a national conservative movement of which the senator was a part.(=women's efforts on refrom during Eleanor's time. Eleanor was part of the activities as well.)
D: A biography of a famous athlete which explained her high level of motivation in terms of the kind of family in which she grew up.
This choice= Eleanor's motivation comes from her FAMILY BACKGROUND.
This answer choice is irrelevant, because it doesn't talk about Eleanor's SOCIAL BACKGROUND at all.
CORRECT ANSWER: C
