26题定位在这里：
Consumer organizing spoke directly to their daily lives and concerns; they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself.

文章逻辑线索如下：
出现妇女运动（independent to political affiliation)----->抗议high cost-of-living------------->boycott

社会主义者出现（当时的主要任务为electoral work和union organizing），抓住这个机会也组织了一系列抗议--------------》想通过这些组织转变妇女运动的方向以达成社会主义的目的。这是出现了两派：一派认为价格抗议本身就是迈向socialism的一步，但大部分socialist认为组织工会才是王道，另一部分人认为价格抗议也有价值，因为有利于妇女争取投票权，争取到投票权的话是向socialism迈了一步。

当时参加抵制运动的妇女同志们仅仅是出于对物价问题的切肤之痛。她们走上抗议之路是因为大家都shared same experience of  declining living standards caused by rising food prices。因此她们目标很简单cheaper food as a valuable end in itself.（没有socialist那些花花肠子）

我的选择是DACB

Q25
D.    It coincided with their attempts to bring more women into union organizing.
原文
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......., 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.

Q26
A.    achievement of an immediate economic outcome
原文
the boycotters, by sharp contrast, joined the price protest movement out of an urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living issue. ...... Consumer organizing spoke directly to their daily lives and concerns; they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself

Q26不选C的原因是C选项说“It can be inferred from the passage that the goal of the boycotting women was the concentration of widespread consumer protests on the more narrow issue of food prices” 实际文章中并没有谈及参加抵制活动的妇女的主观意图是要收窄消费者抗议活动的目的使其集中于食品价格。文章中的意思应该是大多数抵制者的目的都出于an urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living issue，因为这些妇女都shared experience of swiftly declining living standards caused by rising food prices 。她们没有其他想法，就是想cut living cost

Q27
C.    To provide a historical perspective on different approaches to the resolution of the cost-of-living issue.
文章中提到社会主义者Union organizing, they argued, was the best method through which to combat the high cost of living.因此socialist的 approach to the resolution是union organizing. 妇女的approach自然就是抵制boycott

不选E是因为文章并不是描述妇女争取suffrage的运动，而是描述妇女抗议食品价格过高的运动。不选A因为无论是妇女还是社会主义者都没有对cost-of-living issue提出过什么view，而只是就此问题展开反对，抗议。

Q28 选B没争议

分析的真好！
我对27题还是有点疑问，虽然你的举证也很有说服力。
我觉得A更正确一点，因为27题问得是Which of the following best states the function of thepassage as a whole? 所以，我觉得从单独一句话来判断一整篇文章的观点有点欠妥。另外，文章中有这么一句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. 说明文章其实是在比较各自的目的，而不是方法，之所以讨论方法，是因为各自的目的不同。相比之下，A.To contrast the views held by the Socialist partyand by the boycotting women ofNew York Cityon the cost-of-living issue，这里的view也可以引申为看问题的角度，从这点来理解的话，socialist视cost of living为one step to socialism，而妇女们并没把cost of living作为目标，妇女们只是为了食品价格下降。

【社会党虽对物价作了简短承诺，但对物价并不关心。只是想利用物价问题达到其它目的，组织工会，妇女投票权。】
承诺简短并不意味着持续时间简短，所以，A没有理由，D较为合理。
Underneath the Socialists’ brief commitment to cost-of-living organizing lay a basic indifference to the issue itself. 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.

个人觉得27题A比C更恰当。

文章是讲了socialist和women各自的approach，前者是组织工会，后者是boycutt。妇女们的approach可以说是用来解决cost-live issue的。但socialist的approach可不是为了解决cost-live issue，这个文章中不都已经说了嘛。他们巴不得妇女们一直反抗，从反抗生活费上涨，到反抗要求选举权。应该说对socialist来说approach to resolution of closing socialism。

另外，25题，感觉A比D恰当。毕竟原文没有任何一句提到妇女们加入工会。尽管文章中有这么一句Union organizing, they argued, was the best method through which to combat the high cost of living.  但是这只是most socialists的一厢情愿，他们想让妇女们加入工会，但事实上妇女们到底有没有加入工会，文章还是没说啊。而A选项确实可以定位回原文brief commitment那句话。

个人观点，两个：
1. 25题应该是D  这些socialist做这些事儿是有政治动机的。
2. 27A应该不对，我是首先排除的A.

yoyoooo

支持AAAB！！

我觉得原来dcce的答案没有错，就是选项很迷惑，有的需要一一排除
文章是说socialists和women在解决cost-of-living issue的观点不同，前者觉得boycut只是第一步，想进一步（union organization）推进socialism，后者只是想解决food cost issue。其实用主题就把25, 26, 28的正确项挑了出来。
下面说说我对27的看法。请大家指正。
Q27
Which of the following best states the function of the passage as a whole?
A.    To contrast the views held by the Socialist party and by the boycotting women of New York City on the cost-of-living issue （contrast views不对，其实socialist and women都是要解决cost-of-living issue的，这个问题上两者的意见没有分歧）
B.    To analyze the assumptions underlying opposing viewpoints within the New York socialist party of 1917 （是socialists vs women,不是党派内部矛盾）
C.    To provide a historical perspective on different approaches to the resolution of the cost-of-living issue. （正确，most socialists觉得union organizating从而socialism才是正解，而women是不带政治偏见的支持boycut）
D.    To chronicle the sequence of events that led to the New York Socialist party’s emergence as a political power
E.    To analyze the motivations behind the socialist party’s involvement in the women’s suffrage movement. (women suffrage只是二段尾来说明socialists阴险的长远打算中的一步，不是文章主旨)

你分析的有道理，但是historical perspective这个我没有从文章中看出来，所以直接把这个选项排除了。你能告诉我原文怎么体现了historical perspective吗？我认为原文的思路就是描述一个运动及其带来的后果——>社会党人对这个运动的看法——>普通的妇女们对这个运动看法。当然，第二段讲了社会党人是从长远来考虑这个运动的，他们有更深层次的阴谋。但是觉得和historical perspective不搭边啊。
