GWD-11-Q37:
The purpose of the second paragraph (lines 23-31) of the passage is to
A. suggest a reason why suffragist “promises” were not kept
B. contrast suffragist “promises” with the reality of the 1920’s
C. deplore the lack of successful feminist reform in 1920’s
D. explain a view held by feminist scholars
E. answer the question asked by Jane Addams
The identification of femininity with morality and a belief in the innate moral superiority of women were fundamental to the cult of female domesticity in the nineteenth-century United States. Ironically, this ideology of female benevolence empowered women in the realm of social activism, enabling them to escape the confines of their traditional domestic spheres and to enter prisons, hospitals, battlefields, and slums. By following this path, some women came to wield considerable authority in the distribution of resources and services in their communities.
The sentimentalized concept of female benevolence bore little resemblance to women's actual work, which was decidedly unsentimental and businesslike, in that it involved chartering societies, raising money, and paying salaries. Moreover, in the face of legal limitations on their right to control money and property, women had to find ingenious legal ways to run and finance organized philanthropy. In contrast to the day-to-day reality of this work, the idealized image of female benevolence lent a sentimental and gracious aura of altruism to the very real authority and privilege that some women commanded--which explains why some women activists clung tenaciously to this ideology. But clinging to this ideology also prevented these women from even attempting to gain true political power because it implied a moral purity that precluded participation in the messy world of partisan politics.
Question #42. 537-01 (23257-!-item-!-188;#058&000537-01)
According to the passage, the ideology of female benevolence was consistent with women taking part in each of the following spheres of activity EXCEPT C

(D) fund-raising for worthy causes
(E) social work
Question #43. 537-04 (23303-!-item-!-188;#058&000537-04)
Information in the passage suggests that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements concerning the cult of female domesticity? C
(A) The cult of female domesticity developed independently of the concept of female benevolence.
(B) The cult of female domesticity was incompatible with women's participation in social activism.
(C) The cult of female domesticity incorporated ideological elements that actually helped some women to escape from their traditional domestic roles.
(D) The original motivation behind the promotion of the cult of female domesticity was to exclude women from partisan politics.
(E) The growth of organized philanthropy in the nineteenth-century United States is ultimately attributable to the cult of female domesticity.
Question #44. 537-05 (23349-!-item-!-188;#058&000537-05)
Which of the following best summarizes the main point of the passage? D
(A) The identification of femininity with morality promoted the notion of women's moral purity while excluding women from positions of authority in their communities.
(B) The belief in women's innate moral superiority allowed women to exercise political power without participating in partisan politics.
(C) The cult of female domesticity helped some women to gain power and privilege but kept most women confined to the domestic sphere.
(D) The ideology of female benevolence empowered women in the realm of social activism but placed limits on their direct political power.
(E) The idealization of female altruism enabled women to engage in philanthropic activities but prevented them from managing money and property.

另外一篇是从prep破解的RC里翻出来的（忘了看是1还是2的 +_+）
编号是第十三篇，四十二至四十四题
文中有个ironically，但是文章貌似和狗狗里讲的稍有出入。
望考过的NN出来明示，大家都来看下。

1. GWD-11-Q35 -Q37当代女权主义者对20年代妇女选举权运动的评价
Recent feminist scholarship con-
cerning the United States in the 1920’s
challenges earlier interpretations that
Line assessed the twenties in terms of the
(5) unkept “promises” of the women’s
suffrage movement. This new scholar-
ship disputes the long-held view that
because a women’s voting bloc did not
materialize after women gained the right
(10) to vote in 1920, suffrage failed to
produce long-term political gains for
women. These feminist scholars also
challenge the old view that pronounced
suffrage a failure for not delivering on
(15) the promise that the women’s vote
would bring about moral, corruption-
free governance. Asked whether
women’s suffrage was a failure, these
scholars cite the words of turn-of-the-
(20) century social reformer Jane Addams,
“Why don’t you ask if suffrage in
general is failing?”学者的观点认为suffrage是失败
In some ways, however, these递进
scholars still present the 1920’s as a
(25) period of decline. After suffrage, they
argue, the feminist movement lost its
cohesiveness, and gender conscious-
ness waned. After the mid-1920’s, few
successes could be claimed by fem-
(30) inist reformers: little could be seen in
the way of legislative victories. 衰退的年代 new scholarship的另一观点
During this decade, however, there
was intense activism aimed at achiev-
ing increased autonomy for women,
(35) broadening the spheres within which
they lived their daily lives. Women’s
organizations worked to establish
opportunities for women: they strove to
secure for women the full entitlements
(40) of citizenship, including the right to hold
office and the right to serve on juries.最终观点 不同意recent的观点
