My answer: B A D A My point of view: 16/ B 17/ According to the passage, one source of dissatisfaction for Parisian seamstresses after the establishment of the seamstresses’ guild was that A. seamstresses were not allowed to make and sell clothing for all women B. tailors continued to have the exclusive legal right to clothe men C. seamstresses who were relatives of tailors were prevented from becoming members of the seamstresses’ guild D. rivalry between individual seamstresses increased, thus hindering their ability to compete with the tailors for business E. seamstresses were not allowed to accept male tailors as members of the guild A "seamstresses, meanwhile, were impatient with the remaining restrictions on their right to clothe women." 从修饰关系看,to clothe women是修饰right的,因此是“对在为妇女制衣上尚存的限制表示不满”,前面有nn已经做过分析; 此外,补充一点:结合前文对该行会的限制(were prohibited from producing men’s clothing or dresses for court women)和这里的remaining看,这个理解是准确的。 18/ It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following was true of seamstresses employed by relatives who were members of the tailors’ guild? A. They were instrumental in convincing Louis XIV to establish the seamstresses’ guild. B. They were rarely allowed to assist master tailors in the production of men’s clothing. C. They were considered by some tailors to be a threat to the tailors’ monopoly. D. They did not enjoy the same economic and legal privileges that members of the seamstresses’ guild enjoyed. E. They felt their status as working women gave them a certain degree of independence from the patriarchal family. D 题干:It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following was true of seamstresses employed by relatives who were members of the tailors’ guild? 说明涉及的对象是“seamstresses employed by relatives who were members of the tailors’ guild”,也就是说是普通的seamstresses; 题干同时说infer,文中应该没有直接涉及——文中确实没有直接提到普通seamstresses的状况;而通过加入guild的seamstresses的变化(The seamstresses, however, viewed guild membership as a mark of independence from the patriarchal family. & ... enjoyed unusual legal and economic privileges)可以infer出普通普通seamstresses的状况,即选项D: They did not enjoy the same economic and legal privileges that members of the seamstresses’ guild enjoyed. 这里的争论焦点就是:是不是所有的seamstresses都是属于seamstresses guild的,我认为不是,因为: Their guild was composed not of family units but of individual women who enjoyed unusual legal and economic privileges. 注意这里的women who ... 是限制定语。 19/ The author mentions the seamstresses’ view of guild membership as a “mark of independence from the patriarchal family” (lines 40-41) primarily in order to A. emphasize that the establishment of the seamstresses’ guild had implications that were not solely economic B. illustrate the conflict that existed between tailors and their female family members over membership in the tailors’ guild C. imply that the establishment of the seamstresses’ guild ushered in a period of increased economic and social freedom for women in France D. provide an explanation for the dramatic increase in the number of women working as seamstresses after 1675 E. indicate that members of the seamstresses’ guild were financially more successful than were tailors’ female relatives protected by the tailors’ guild A 二段的中心在其首句:The conflict between the guilds was not purely economic, however. 二段后面事实都是对该句的展开从而例证。 另外,对于争议颇多的B(illustrate the conflict that existed between tailors and their female family members over membership in the tailors’ guild): 仔细看句子,说的是“tailors和他们女性家庭成员之间关于membership in the tailors’ guild的冲突”,文中没有涉及。 大家讨论~
