Which of the following studies would proceed in a way most similar to the way in which, according to the passage. Scharf’s book interprets Eleanor Roosevelt’s career?
也就是说研究的方法 第三段第一句: But more recent work on the feminism of the post-suffrage years (following 1920) allows us to see Roosevelt in a different light and to bring her life into a more richly detailed context. 先写了一堆人,接着一个一个写,所以应该是B,先写整体,然后单个写
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
选D
