81的问题如下：
81. The passage suggests that Buel and Buel’s biography
of Mary Fish provides evidence for which of the
following views of women’s history?
(A) Women have lost power in relation to men since
the colonial era.
(B) Women of the colonial era were not as likely to
be concerned with their status as were women
in the nineteenth century.
(C) The colonial era was not as favorable for women
as some historians have believed.
(D) Women had more economic autonomy in the
colonial era than in the nineteenth century.
(E) Women’s occupations were generally more
respected in the colonial era than in the
nineteenth century.
参看文章这里“ In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample
raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.”
答案选C。。
单独看C选项还真不一定可以看出对和错，但是可以选择排除法。我估计你已经知道其他选项都是错的了，但是就是想知道为什么C对~我也不知道下面的解释是不是牵强一点啊，LZ自己斟酌~~请看文章说的：
In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample
raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by
some historians, of a colonial golden age in the
eighteenth century
Buel 和Buel的传记提供了大量的raw material来质疑在黄金的移民时期女人status的状况。 前面的In contrast， 个人觉得更多倾向于和fostered by some historians的理论对比。。。说明Buel不相信那些历史学家foster的理论，就是在移民时代对女人的status有利。所以正是因为in contrast，所以Buel认为在移民时期女人的status并没有那些历史学家认为的那样对女人有利！！作者: xiangrui 时间: 2010-6-17 06:44
