以下是引用jandjshi在2006-8-3 0:36:00的发言：

我也ACAB.

25: A - brief commitment

26: C - they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself

27: A

28: B - other goals: 1) union organizing and 2) women’s struggle for suffrage.

其它都同意

26题，同一个定位，我怎么选A呢？

It can be inferred from the passage that the goal

of the boycotting women was the

A.    achievement of an immediate economic

outcome

B.     development of a more socialistic society

C.     concentration of widespread consumer

protests on the more narrow issue of

food prices

D.  development of one among a number of

different approaches that the women

wished to employ in combating the high

cost of living.

E.  attraction of more public interest to issues

that the women and the New York Socialists

considered important.

26，

It can be inferred from the passage that the goal

of the boycotting women was the

A.    achievement of an immediate economic

outcome

B.    development of a more socialistic society

C.   concentration of widespread consumer

protests on the more narrow issue of

food prices

刚开始我也想选c，但是总觉得问的是goal of the boycotting women
原文直接出现boycot的地方有两处

 1）    The boycott shut down much of the City’s foodstuffs marketing for two weeks, riveting
     public attention on the issue of food prices,

2） the boy-cotters, by sharp contrast, joined the price protest movement out of an urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living issue.

紧接第二处，就是

Consumer
                    organizing spoke directly to their daily lives and concerns; theysaw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself. Food price protests were these women’s way of organizing at their own workplace, asworkers whose occupation wasshopping and preparing food fortheir families.

说明这些boycotting women的目标就是为了经济利益

答案 A.    achievement of an immediate economic outcome

有没有大虾解答一下？？？

嗯. 仔细读了一遍. A 应该是比较好的选择. to concentrade the widespread consumer protest to a more narrow issue 其实并没提到.

偶支持D.A.A.B

偶认为第一题应该选D。关于brief的上述看法偶并不认同。

文章的第一段是对这个事件的大致描述。对比文章后两段来看，它们分别是阐述了socialists和boycotters在这一事件上的不同。

首先是目的上的不同

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

boycotters呢，they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself.

这里的design extensive series protests加上第一段上渲染的盛况空前，作者的意思绝对不会是想说明这场运动只是一场relatively short period of time的运动吧。

然后再是态度上的不同

socialists是"Underneath the socialists' brief commitment to cost-of-living organizing lay a basic indifference to the issue itself""secondary or tertiary to the real task at hand"

boycotters是"out of an urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living issue"

在这里，我们明显可以看到"brief commitment"的对立面"an urgent and deeply felt commitment"，也就是说，这里的brief指的不是时间概念上的brief而是照应了indifference的态度。

最后楼上说的coincide是(of events) occur at the same time or occupy the same period of time as sth else,那么我就要提出coincide的另一个意思：be identical or very similar to sth else。因为利益上的一致性，导致了stronghold of the socialist party的结果。与seized the opportunity and quickly organized相互照应。

关于26题（第2题）偶也挣扎了很久

c选在文中的对应是"A shared experience of swiftly declining living standards caused by rising food prices drove these women to protest"，（C选是concentration of widespread consumer protests of the more narrow issue of food prices.）

a选在文中的对应是"they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself",end有aim or purpose的意思，题目问的是goal，所以A似乎是更好的选择。

苍天啊，偶连end的意思也去查了。

I chose AAAB. I am glad to see this topic
