以下是引用hongjing84在2005-10-8 17:27:00的发言:第4题 According to the passage, Bailyn and the author agree on which of the following statements about the culture of colonial New England? (A) High culture in New England never equaled the high culture of England. L38 有此句: It is true, as Bailyn claims, that high culture in the colonies never matched that in England.可见作者的确同意Bailyn关于殖民地文化及不上英格兰文化的看法,虽然后句中有BUT做转折,指出Bailyn的看法低估了殖民地文化,但并不否认前句的事实。因此A项对。
(D) The southern colonies were greatly influenced by the high culture of New England. 文中并没有提到南部殖民地(southern colonies),而是说New England对整个北美的影响,因此D项错。 请注意原文的措辞: It is true, as Bailyn claims, that high culture in the colonies never matched that in England.But what of seventeenth-century New England, where the settlers created effective laws, built a distinguished university, and published books? Bailyn might respond that New England was exceptional. However,....
前面关于high culture in the colonies ,作者是同意Bailyn 的,但是BUT的转折(反问道"17世纪的New England有如何呢?")告诉我们,作者在New England上是不同意Bailyn ,因为Bailyn 低估了殖民地文化。 而题目问的就是作者和Bailyn 都同意的观点,所以我觉得显然A(A认为作者和Bailyn 对于High culture in New England的意见是一致的)是错的。 不知道,我这样理解,是否有无? |
