Q6-Q9 GWD-29-Q3-Q6
In a 1984 book, Claire C.
Robertson argued that,
before colonialism, age was
Line a more important indicator
(5) of status and authority than
gender in Ghana and in
Africa generally. British
colonialism imposed
European-style male-
(10) dominant notions upon
more egalitarian local
situations to the detriment
of women generally, and
gender became a defining
(15) characteristic that weak-
ened women’s power and
authority.
Subsequent research in
Kenya convinced Robertson
(20) that she had overgeneralized
about Africa. Before colo-
nialism, gender was more
salient in central Kenya than
it was in Ghana, although age
(25) was still crucial in determin-
ing authority. In contrast with
Ghana, where women had
traded for hundreds of years
and achieved legal majority
(30) (not unrelated phenomena),
the evidence regarding
central Kenya indicated that
women were legal minors
and were sometimes treated
(35) as male property, as were
European women at that
time. Factors like strong
patrilinearity and patrilocality,
as well as women’s inferior
(40) land rights and lesser
involvement in trade, made
women more dependent on
men than was generally the
case in Ghana. However,
(45) since age apparently
remained the overriding
principle of social organiza-
tion in central Kenya, some
senior women had much
(50) authority. Thus, Robertson
revised her hypothesis
somewhat, arguing that
in determining authority in
precolonial Africa age was a
(55) primary principle that super-
seded gender to varying
degrees depending on the
situation.

8. GWD29-Q5:
The passage suggests that after conducting the research mentioned in line 18, but not before,
Robertson would have agreed with which of the following about women’s status and authority in Ghana?
A. Greater land rights and greater involvement in trade made women in precolonial Ghana less dependent on men than were European women at that time.
A. Colonialism had a greater impact on the status and authority of Ghanaian women than on Kenyan women.
B. Colonialism had less of an impact on the status and authority of Ghanaian women that it had on the status and authority of other African women.
C. The relative independence of Ghanaian women prior to colonialism was unique in Africa.
D. Before colonialism, the status and authority of Ghanaian women was similar to that of Kenyan women.

9. GWD29-Q6:
The author of the passage mentions the status of age as a principle of social organization in precolonial central Kenya in lines 24-26 most likely in order to
A. indicate that women’s dependence on men in precolonial Kenya was not absolute
B. contrast the situation of senior women to that of less senior women in precolonial Kenyan society
C. differentiate between the status and authority of precolonial Kenyan women and that of precolonial Ghanaian women
D. explain why age superseded gender to a greater extent in precolonial Kenya than it did elsewhere in Africa
E. identify a factor that led Robertson to revise her hypothesis about precolonial Africa

我认为第一个应该选E, 注意问题中问的是R WOULD HAVE agreed with, 也就是说in K, gender > age是一个意外的发现, 而且,作者在研究过Ghana后, 认为整个非洲都是像Ghana一样, gender>age, 因此subsequent research也是想证明K国的状况也是Gender>age. 因此, 选项E中, G is simmlar to K是正确选项. 这应该是一个'取反'的题.

我觉得第一个是B。C是错的，因为文章只说 G 的women 和 K 的women 不同，证明并非所有非洲女性情况都一样，但是不能说G 是独一无二的。
