GWD3-Q35
to Q37:

    

      Historians who study European

    

       women
of the Renaissance try to mea-

    

       sure
“independence,” “options,” and

    

Line       other indicators of the
degree to which

    

  (5)      the
expression of women’s individuality

    

was either
permitted or suppressed.

    

Influenced by Western
individualism,

    

these historians
define a peculiar form

    

of
personhood:  an innately bounded

    

 (10)      unit,
autonomous and standing apart

    

from both nature
and society.  An

    

anthropologist,
however, would contend

    

that a person
can be conceived in ways

    

other than as an
“individual.”  In many

    

 (15)      societies
a person’s identity is not

    

intrinsically
unique and self-contained

    

but instead is
defined within a complex

    

web of social
relationships.

    

      In her study of the fifteenth-century

    

 (20)      Florentine
widow Alessandra Strozzi, a

    

historian who
specializes in European

    

women of the
Renaissance attributes

    

individual
intention and authorship of

    

       actions
to her subject.  This historian

    

 (25)      assumes
that Alessandra had goals

    

and interests
different from those of her

    

sons, yet much
of the historian’s own

    

research reveals
that Alessandra

    

acted primarily
as a champion of her

    

 (30)      sons’
interests, taking their goals as

    

her own.  Thus Alessandra conforms

    

more closely to the
anthropologist’s

    

       notion that personal
motivation is

    

embedded in a social context.  Indeed,

    

 (35)      one
could argue that Alessandra did

    

       not
distinguish her personhood from

    

that of her
sons.  In Renaissance

    

Europe the boundaries of the
con-

    

ceptual self
were not always firm

    

 (40)      and
closed and did not necessarily

    

coincide with
the boundaries of

    

the bodily self.

GWD3-Q35:

    

The passage suggests that the historian
mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) would be most likely to agree
with which of the following assertions regarding Alessandra Strozzi?

    

             

    

1. Alessandra was able to act more independently than most women
        of her time because she was a widow.
2. Alessandra was aware that her personal motivation was embedded
        in a social context.
3. Alessandra had goals and interests similar to those of many
        other widows in her society.
4. Alessandra is an example of a Renaissance woman who expressed
        her individuality through independent action.
5. Alessandra was exceptional because she was able to effect
        changes in the social constraints placed upon women in her society.

    

 

这个题怎么答案是B？？？？？没有提到Alessandra was aware that....只是提到Thus Alessandra conforms more closely to the
anthropologist’s notion that personal
motivation is embedded in a social context. 但这个是结论，没说这个人aware到了这一点。
我觉得是D。因为A这个人是这类例子所以才能拿出来做study.
