Q4 to Q6:
The fields of antebellum (pre-Civil
War) political history and women’s his-
tory use separate sources and focus
Line on separate issues.  olitical histori-
(5) ans, examining sources such as voting
records, newspapers, and politicians’
writings, focus on the emergence in the
1840’s of a new “American political
nation,” and since women were neither
(10) voters nor politicians, they receive little
discussion. Women’s historians, mean-
while, have shown little interest in the
subject of party politics, instead draw-
ing on personal papers, legal records
(15) such as wills, and records of female
associations to illuminate women’s
domestic lives, their moral reform
activities, and the emergence of the
woman’s rights movement.
(20) However, most historians have
underestimated the extent and signifi-
cance of women’s political allegiance
in the antebellum period. For example,
in the presidential election campaigns
(25) of the 1840’s, the Virginia Whig party
strove to win the allegiance of Virginia’s
women by inviting them to rallies and
speeches. According to Whig propa-
ganda, women who turned out at the
(30) party’s rallies gathered information
that enabled them to mold party-loyal
families, reminded men of moral values
that transcended party loyalty, and con-
ferred moral standing on the party.
(35) Virginia Democrats, in response,
began to make similar appeals to
women as well. By the mid-1850’s
the inclusion of women in the rituals of
party politics had become common-
(40) place, and the ideology that justified
such inclusion had been assimilated
by the Democrats.
Q5:
According to the second paragraph of the passage (lines 20-42), Whig propaganda included the assertion that
women should enjoy more political rights than they did
women were the most important influences on political attitudes within a family
women’s reform activities reminded men of important moral values
women’s demonstrations at rallies would influence men’s voting behavior
women’s presence at rallies would enhance the moral standing of the party
首先根据题目关键词，可以找到原文对应，仔细观察后发现两个关键点：Party’s rally & Moral values。再观察答案，排除后，初步可以定在CE中选择，但是在这里怎么选择呢？我怎么觉得C要好一些呢？？？ |
