楼主妇女地位那篇可是这个？鉴定一下哦In colonial Connecticut between 妇女在18世纪参与主要关于债务的官 1670 and 1719, women participated 司数量一直减少。 in one of every six civil cases, the Line vast majority of which were debt- (5) related.

At the same time, 而妇女的信用债务网络仍主要是当地 (35) women’s networks of credit and 和私人的。 debt remained primarily local and personal. Dayton contends that, CHD说妇女虽然继续服务社区，但被 although still performing crucial 置于18世纪新经济与法律文化外。 economic services in their (40) communities—services that contributed to the commercialization of the colonial economy—women remained for the most part outside the new economic and legal culture of the eighteenth century. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q25 The passage is primarily concerned with A. reporting an author’s view of a phenomenon B. disputing the reasons usually given for an unexpected change C. evaluating the conclusions reached by an author D. assessing the impact of certain legal decisions.
