When the history of women began to receive focused attention in the 1970’, Eleanor Roosevelt Line was one of a handful of female (5) Americans who were well known to both historians and the general public. Despite the evidence that she had been important in social- reform circles before her husband (10) was elected President and that she continued to advocate differ- ent causes than he did, she held a place in the public imagination largely because she was the wife (15) of a particularly influential Presi- dent. Her own activities were seen as preparing the way for her husband’s election or as a com- plement to his programs. Even (20) Joseph Lash’s two volumes of Sympathetic biography, Eleanor and Franklin (1971) and Eleanor: The Years Alone (1972), reflected this assumption. (25) Lash’s biography revealed a Complicated woman who sought Through political activity both to flee inner misery and to promote causes in which she passionately (30) believed. However, she still appeared to be an idiosyncratic figure, somehow self-generated not amenable to any generalized explanation. She emerged from (35) the biography as a mother to the entire nation, or as a busybody. but hardly as a social type, a figure comprehensible in terms of broader social developments. (40) 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 (45) more richly detailed context. Lois Scharf’s Eleanor Roosevelt, written In 1987, depicts a generation of Privileged women, born in the late Nineteenth century and maturing (50) in the twentieth, who made the transition from old patterns of female association to new ones. Their views and their lives were full Of contradictions. They maintained (55) female social networks but began to integrate women into mainstream politics; they demanded equal treatment but also argued that women’s maternal responsibilities (60) made them both wards and repre- sentatives of the public interest. Thanks to Scharf and others, Roosevelt’s activities—for exam- ple, her support both for labor laws (65) protecting women and for appoint- ments 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. Q 25: 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?
A. An exploration of the activities of a wealthy social reformer in terms of the ideals held by the reformer B. A history of the leaders of a political party which explained how the conflicting aims of its individual leaders thwarted and diverted the activities of each leader C. An account of the legislative career of a con- servative senator which showed his goals to have been derived from a national conser- vative movement of which the senator was a part 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 E. A history of the individuals who led the move- ment to end slavery in the United States which attributed the movement’s success to the efforts of those exceptional individuals
Answer 为什么不选E呢？ 因为S写的是“In 1987, depicts a generation ofPrivileged women, ” a similar way 应该也是描述一群人的呀，所以我觉得应该选 E， Privileged women, ” a similar way 应该也是描述一群人的呀，所以我觉得应该选 E，  大家觉得呢？？？
