Robertson argued that,
before colonialism, age was
Line
a more important indicator
(5)
of status and authority than
colonialism imposed
European-style male-
(10)
dominant notions upon
more egalitarian local
situations to the detriment
of women generally, and
gender became a defining
(15)
characteristic that weak-
ened women’s power and
authority.
Subsequent research in
(20)
that she had overgeneralized
nialism, gender was more
(25)
was still crucial in determin-
ing authority.
In contrast with
traded for hundreds of years
and achieved legal majority
(30)
(not unrelated phenomena),
the evidence regarding
central Kenya indicated that
women were legal minors
and were sometimes treated
(35)
as male property, as were
European women at that
time.
Factors like strong
patrilinearity and patrilocality,
as well as women’s inferior
(40)
land rights and lesser
involvement in trade, made
women more dependent on
men than was generally the
case in Ghana.
(45)
since age apparently
remained the overriding
principle of social organiza-
tion in central Kenya, somesenior women had much
(50)
authority.
Thus, Robertson
revised her hypothesis
somewhat, arguing that
in determining authority in
precolonial Africa age was a
(55)
primary principle that super-
seded gender to varying
degrees depending on the
situation.

The primary purpose of the passage is to
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q4:
The passage indicates that Robertson’s research in Kenya caused her to change her mind regarding which of the following?
Q5:
The passage suggests that after conducting the research mentioned in line 18, but not before, Robertson would have agreed with which of the following about women’s status and authority in Ghana?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q6:
The author of the passage mentions the status of age as a principle of social organization in precolonial central Kenya in lines 24-26 most likely in order toAnswer: E
MINE:Cb)contrast the situation of senior women to that of less senior women in precolonial Kenyan society (Out of scope, the point of line 24-26 is not about the different situations betwwen senior and less senior women)
c)differentiate between the status and authority of precolonial Kenyan women and that of precolonial Ghanaian women (Don't know what to say, but "differentiate" looks too strong to me without any details/evidence. Line 26-36 does what this option states?)
d)explain why age superseded gender to a greater extent in precolonial Kenya than it did elsewhere in Africa (No explaination, it's only an observation.)Correct me if im wrong with anything. thx...

题目问的是在进行了对K的研究后(而不是研究前)作者认同的观点
A选项说Ghana殖民前女人较英国女性independent,这是Robertson一直的观点,是before research on K就被Robertson认同的(根据第一段知道被英国殖民后G的女性地位才受到European- style male dominant notions的损害,殖民前age决定地位)。当然research on K发现 G Women >K women = Euro women (就是楼上说的间接推理),但G women > Euro Women不是Robertson对K进行研究后才相信的观点,而是她一直以来的观点。
而C选项中G和K之间的不同是研究了K才发现的。
考的时候打死也想不起来这么些...
