12题我选B

GWD-7-Q12:

The passage suggests that, with regard to the history of women’s education in the United States, Kerber’s work differs from Woody’s primarily concerning which of the following?

             

1. The extent to which women were interested in pursuing educational opportunities in the eighteenth century

2. The extent of the support for educational opportunities for girls prior to the American Revolution

3. The extent of public resistance to educational opportunities for women after the American Revolution

4. Whether attitudes toward women’s educational opportunities changed during the eighteenth century

5. Whether women needed to be educated in order to contribute to the success of a republican form of government

Pointing to “An Essay on Woman” (1753) as reflecting a shift in view, Woody also claimed that practical education for females had many advocates before the Revolution.

Linda Kerber argued in the mid-1980’s that after the American Revolution

       (1775-1783), an ideology of “republican motherhood” resulted in a surge of edu-

     cational opportunities for women in the United States

严重同意！

Woody’s evidence challenges the notion

 (35)
                       that the Revolution changed attitudes

regarding female education, although it

may have accelerated earlier trends.

Historians’ reliance on Kerber’s “repub-

      lican motherhood” thesis may have

 (40)     obscured the presence of these trends,

making it difficult to determine to what

extent the Revolution really changed

women’s lives.

看了讨论，发现大家都是从

Prior to Kerber’s work,

educational historians barely mentioned

women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929

 (25)      work is the notable exception.

取非来解题，第一次我也选了E，但是后来思考觉得B更合适。从通篇来看，特别是最后得两个句子（贴在上面），可以发现作者对W得评价集中在他指出了革命前得妇女教育状况，同时W和K的研究结果不一致导致了“很难判断革命究竟多大程度改变了妇女的命运”。从这个角度来思考，W的价值和他最大的特点还是集中在革命前的妇女教育研究。答案选B。

10还是应该选E吧，题目问的是within the field of educational history, Thomas Woody’s 1929 work was，注意问题用的是was，如果题目用is的话，我觉得就应该选B，但是用was说明是以前的事情，现在已经不是了，所以应该选E，B的情况是以前是，现在也是。而且文中也没有提到exceptional呀，只说了historians' reliance on K..并没有说没人支持W呀

Q12:

The passage suggests that, with regard to the history of women’s education in the United States, Kerber’s work differs from Woody’s primarily concerning which of the following?

1. The extent to which women were interested in pursuing educational opportunities in the eighteenth century
           
2. The extent of the support for educational opportunities for girls prior to the American Revolution

3. The extent of public resistance to educational opportunities for women after the American Revolution
           
4. Whether attitudes toward women’s educational opportunities changed during the eighteenth century
           
5. Whether women needed to be educated in order to contribute to the success of a republican form of government

我想问个语法上的问题，这里primarily concerning which of the following?是修饰Kerber’s work还是 Woody’s ？ 如果从语法上分词紧接名词作定语修饰的话，这里修饰的是 Woody’s ，那么选项中应该选择 Woody的观点，所以选B，如果是Kerber的观点，我觉得侧重选C，不知道这样想对不对？

12  B

理由如下:
Linda Kerber argued in the mid-1980’s
that after the American Revolution (1775-1783), an ideology of “republican motherhood”
resulted in a surge of educational opportunities for women in the United States.

Woody also claimed that practical
education for females had many advocates before the Revolution.

LK只是说a surge of,并未说没有
TW说had many advocates

因此区别只是程度而已

12 D

K强调attitude 是在revolution之后才change的

W则认为在Revolution以前就有了,无因有果削弱(削弱change是因为revolution)

所以focus在于,attitude在Revolution的时候是否有发生转变,也就是during the 18th century.

因为如果W是对的,即是之前就有的,则不存在转变问题;若K是对的,则在Revolution处转变.

我的看法是：要遵循原文的客观论述，并且时刻注意主旨，不要带主观判断去解题：
第一段：Linda Kerber argued in the mid-1980’s that after the American Revolution
   (1775-1783), an ideology of “republican
   motherhood” resulted in a surge of edu-
   cational opportunities for women in the
   United States. LK的观点是美国妇女教育源于美国的独立革命。

    (30)
Pointing to “An Essay on Woman” (1753) as reflecting
   a shift in view, Woody also claimed that
   practical education for females had
   many advocates before the Revolution.
   Woody’s evidence challenges the notion
   that the Revolution changed attitudes
   regarding female education, although it
   may have accelerated earlier trends. W发现，革命前女性的教育观点就有很多支持者了。W的这个证据挑战了是革命导致女性受教育的传统观点，尽管。。。

【总结】本题问K与W不同主要在哪里？推理细节题。

1）定位：第一段只说LK的观点，所以答案一定在第二段。

2）第二段首句：LK的republican motherhood改变编年史。然后说了3层意思：和historians的比较，TW1929的发现；W also claimed…, challenges the notion…；historians对K的看法。这三层只有中间一层没明确说和谁比（见上面第二段摘抄），再结合第一段LK的最主要观点（对应提干的primarily concerning），两者结合可以得出，W和LK最大的分歧之处是美国妇女教育源于美国的独立革命么？同时，D选项狡猾在把American Revolution(1775-1783)替换成了during the eighteenth century。其实D是对主旨最贴切的表述。

这个题目难在把握LK首要论点的同时，根据对W很多观点的描述，能否最快找到他们两的最主要分歧。

选B的朋友，我觉得是有些带主观判断色彩了。作者有像D一样明确了态度（challenge)用判断句来说

B.The extent of the support for educational opportunities for girls prior to the American Revolution的分歧吗？没有。

题目问的是 Kerber’s work differs from Woody’s primarily concerning which of the following？通过作者明确的态度词是challenge。B虽然可以推导出两个人的不同看法，但究竟不是Primarily,因此，D更加体现了全文主旨，所以优于B，是正确答案。

欢迎讨论

Woody’s evidence challenges the notion

 (35)
       that the Revolution changed attitudes

regarding female education, although it

may have accelerated earlier trends.

Woody说R并没有带来态度的改变，因为态度改变在R之前就完成了，意思是说R之前就有support for female education,而Kerber着重的是以后，所以选B是没错的

D：Whether attitudes toward women’s educational opportunities changed during the eighteenth century

错在强调的是during the 18 century（更广泛的时间范围）,而不是说革命对态度的影响，W部分承认了K的看法（有一定影响：加速），但是否认了革命转变了态度

错在强调的是during the 18 century（更广泛的时间范围）,而不是说革命对态度的影响，W部分承认了K的看法（有一定影响：加速），但是否认了革命转变了态度

错在强调的是during the 18 century（更广泛的时间范围）,而不是说革命对态度的影响，W部分承认了K的看法（有一定影响：加速），但是否认了革命转变了态度

其实如果把D答案的后面那个during改成是by the revolution，这两个答案BD就都对啦

态度到底是不是在革命时转变的（D）=革命之前有没有此态度（B）
