      In 1675, Louis XIV

       established the Parisian

       seamstresses’ guild, the first

Line       independent all-female guild

  (5)      created in over 200 years.

Guild members could make

and sell women’s and chil-

dren’s clothing, but were

prohibited from producing

(10)      men’s clothing or dresses

for court women.  Tailors

resented the ascension of

seamstresses to guild status;

seamstresses, meanwhile,

(15)      were impatient with the

remaining restrictions on

their right to clothe women.

      The conflict between

the guilds was not purely

(20)      economic, however.  A 1675

       police report indicated that

       since so many seamstresses

were already working illegally,

the tailors were unlikely to

(25)      suffer additional economic

damage because of the

seamstresses’ incorporation.

Moreover, guild membership

held very different meanings

(30)      for tailors and seamstresses.

To the tailors, their status as

guild members overlapped

       with their role as heads of

household, and entitled them

(35)    to employ as seamstresses

female family members who

did not marry outside the trade.

The seamstresses, however,

      viewed guild membership as

(40)     a mark of independence from

the patriarchal family.  Their

guild was composed not of

family units but of individual

women who enjoyed unusual

(45)      legal and economic privileges.

       At the conflict’s center was

the issue of whether tailors’

female relatives should be

identified as family members

(50)      protected by the tailors’ guild

or as individuals under the

jurisdiction of the seam-

stresses’ guild.

Q16:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

              

outline a scholarly debate over the impact of the Parisian seamstresses’ guild

summarize sources of conflict between the newly created Parisian seamstresses’ guild and the tailors’ guild

describe opposing views concerning the origins of the Parisian seamstresses’ guild

explore the underlying reasons for establishing an exclusively female guild in seventeenth-century Paris

correct a misconception about changes in seamstresses’ economic status that took place in Paris in the late seventeenth century  

Answer: d 我选b

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q17:

According to the passage, one source of dissatisfaction for Parisian seamstresses after the establishment of the seamstresses’ guild was that

              

seamstresses were not allowed to make and sell clothing for all women

tailors continued to have the exclusive legal right to clothe men

seamstresses who were relatives of tailors were prevented from becoming members of the seamstresses’ guild

rivalry between individual seamstresses increased, thus hindering their ability to compete with the tailors for business

seamstresses were not allowed to accept male tailors as members of the guild

Answer:a 我选b

请大家给个公正的答案 是否我的错了。

1. Q16: 偶一开始也选B. 但看文中这句话"A 1675 police report indicated that since so many seamstresses were already working illegally, the tailors were unlikely to suffer additional economic damage because of the seamstresses’ incorporation." 然后你再通读全文一遍, 你就会发现, explore reasons的味道要比summarize resources更重些.

联想: 警察报告皇帝, 男的不满女的怎么怎么地. 皇帝为了两地摆平就出了个法令, 然后又搞得两头不痛不痒的.

2. Q17: 还是回原文定位. "seamstresses, meanwhile, were impatient with the remaining restrictions on their right to clothe women." 在加上前面提到女裁缝不可以给宫廷贵妇做衣服来看答案A要比B更贴切于问题.

3. Q16是较难, 相信不少人在快速阅读后都会选B的.

首先感谢mm 帮我解答。 然后有些 异议

17题

Guild members could make and sell women’s and chil- dren’s clothing, but were prohibited from producing men’s clothing or dresses for court women.  Tailors resented the ascension of seamstresses to guild status; seamstresses, meanwhile, were impatient with the remaining restrictions on their right to clothe women. 这句话的意思是 不满那些 把他们限制在女人衣服上的条例。 然后再注意 remaining 这个词，答案当然是b   这种ets习惯性的反说 怎么可能是a ！ 关于１６题我依然保留我的选择。

ok, 让我来给你解释一下这里restriction的用法.

- restrictions on their right to clothe women---对给女人做衣服有限制.---就是说你可以做女人衣服但有限制, 不能做所有的女人衣服, 比如说宫廷贵妇的衣服你不能做.  

- restrict to clothe women---只能做女式衣服

再读一下, 然后想想你就明白为什么A了.

Webster: remain: 3 : to continue unchanged *the fact remains that we can't go*:这个解释比较好。
