25题我选A, 26A, 27A, 28B。

25.D是错的，NY Socialist参加这次movement不是coincide的,他们是主动commite to this movement希望利用这次运动的机会来实现自己的目的,并非如C所属是两件逻辑上独立的事情。

26.虽然我本来选C，但后来仔细看了觉得C是错的。关键是要联系题目的问题本身来看，问题问的是goal是什么，C讲的是women集中关注食品价格问题，但这个不是boycotting的原因，而只是对其boycutting的性质的描述，最终的goal还是落实到降价（文中表述：they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself）。虽然A的表达宽泛了一点，但是相对于C起码更加切题。

27.同意lz的观点和分析选A。E的观点narrow了一点，没有覆盖第三段讲boycutting women自己的一段。

28.认为答案B是对的。Inside NYS 有两种观点，认为要么间接推动了socialism，要么促进了Union organizing，ACDE都不全面。

我的答案：AAAE
25.A
原文：
    

Underneath the

    

(30) Socialists’
brief commitment to

    

cost-of-living organizing lay a

    

basic indifference to the issue

    itself.

问题关键词是commitment,原文这句话直击关键词，其他选项没有回答问题。D中取句子主干：commitment coincided with their attempts. 原文没说过他们有这个企图或目的。

26. A 关键词是boycotting women，问题问的是这些女的的目的，最后一段明确对比了这些女的boycot的目的与socialists的目的的不同所在。这些女的就是为了抗议物价上涨。所以正可以infer出这些人就是要求降物价来提高生活水平。
27. A 明显对比了两者的goal啊。C不沾边啊，C的意思是对解决cost-living issue的不同方法给出了一种观点，不对。
28. E

关键词是问题问的是”most" socialists的看法，所以那些"some","for others"的观点肯定不对，而B就是那帮"others"的观点，所以B不对。根据我定位的这句话，明显是E啊。

25题似乎也只能选D了，不过D中的这个coincide感觉不大好，没有体现出社会党人的处心积虑（seized the opportunity and quickly organized an extensive series of cost-of-living protests designed to direct the women’s movement toward Socialist goals. ）

27题我还是认为选A，文中第一段引出历史事件，第二段说明社会党人的动机和观点，第三段说明了boycutters的观点（by sharp contrast, joined the price protest movement out of an urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living issue.），说明boycutters跟社会党人的目的不一样，boycutters行动的原因完全是出自于对涨价，生活成本上升的不满。

我觉得27题只有A选项才能达到这种全局的概括性。

我在想，对c正确性的困惑是不是因为我们对approach的含义的理解，以前我们对这个词在文中的理解就是单纯的参加抵制活动来解决cost-living的问题，可事实上在这儿它的意思是对the resolution of the cost-of-living issue处理的方式与态度，妇女和那个党的处理态度是不一样的，妇女只采取了boycott的单一方法，但社会党因为文中说它因为自己党的发展要求与目标，所以它的处理方式多样化以向他们发展的终极目标靠拢，所以文中提到了它建议While some Socialists did view price protests as a direct step toward socialism, most Socialists ultimately sought to divert the cost-of-living movement into alternative channels of protest. Union organizing, they argued, was the best method through which to combat the high cost of living.

GWD25-Q25 to 28

     In mid-February 1917 a women’s movement independent of political affiliation erupted in New York City, the stronghold of 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 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 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 major political presence in New York City. 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. Underneath the Socialists’ brief commitment to cost-of-living organizing lay a basic indifference to（对…漠不关心） the issue itself（指的是cost-of-living）后面的解释了socialist的观点，一小部分是认为反对物价就是直接的社会主义方式，大部分认为（不是直接的方式）因此需要将反对物价转变成工会的方式才是社会主义. While some Socialists did view price protests as a direct step toward socialism, most Socialists ultimately sought to divert the cost-of-living movement into alternative channels of protest. Union organizing, they argued, was the best method through which to combat the high cost of living. For others, cost-of-living or organizing was valuable insofar as it led women into the struggle for suffrage, and similarly, the suffrage struggle was valuable insofar as it moved United States society one step closer to socialism.

Although New York’s Socialists saw the cost-of-living issue as, at best, secondary or tertiary to the real task at hand, the boycotters, by sharp contrast, joined the price protest movement out of 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 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 were these women’s way of organizing at their own workplace, as workers whose occupation was shopping and preparing food for their families.
