a famous man’s wife.

Q 25: Which of the following studies would proceed in a
way most similar to the way in which, according to the passage. Scharf’s book interprets Eleanor
Roosevelt’s career?

A.
An exploration of the activities of a wealthy
social reformer in terms of the ideals held
by the reformer

B.
A history of the leaders of a political party
which explained how the conflicting aims
of its individual leaders thwarted and
diverted the activities of each leader

C.
An account of the legislative career of a conservative senator which showed his goals to
have been derived from a national conservative movement of which the senator was
a part

D.
A biography of a famous athlete which
explained her high level of motivation in terms
of the kind of family in which she grew up

E.
A history of the individuals who led the movement to end slavery in the United States which
attributed the movement’s success to the
efforts of those exceptional individuals

不明白为什么为什么是D~~~求助~~~

我选的是C。

这题的关键是找到Scharf 对 Eleannor描写的角度的不同。我认为原文最后一句话揭示了这个不同。关键词就是social context.

C说的是把senator当做一个nationoal conservative movement的一部分去研究。所以C对。

论坛给出的答案是D,我觉得恰恰不是从Scharf描写的方式去写的。

同问，这题我看了下也是选的C……

作者: ReneeKuang 时间: 2012-6-16 09:00

我认为是C，D表达的意思和末句里rather than后面的内容是一致的，我选C

作者: zhangfan90 时间: 2012-6-17 09:05

到底是C还是D？我这边的答案是D~

作者: starry1008 时间: 2012-6-18 06:32

国外论坛上几乎都选的是D,我开始选的也是C,不过我很好奇为什么外国人都选D,后来我明白了...
这是别的论坛上的解释:
题目问的是类似的“写作方式”，不是“写作内容”。
Scharf 的写作方式是从另一个角度来描述罗夫人的职业特性。仔细读文章末段首句：
But more recent work on the feminism of the post-suffrage years (following
1920)
allows us to see Roosevelt
in a different light and to bring her life into a more richly detailed
context. 还有末段最后一句：Thanks to Scharf and others, Roosevelt’s
activities—......—have become intelligible
   in terms of this social context
   rather than as the idiosyncratic
   career of a famous man’s wife.
只有D是从另一个角度来描述同一个现象。即，从家庭动因(the kind of family)的角度
来解释该运动员的高水平动因。抓住关键词：different, in terms of.
另外,我的理解是既然WAY要一样,就应该是相同的体裁,S的书是传记BIOGRAPHY,不是调研考察(EXPLORATION),也不是报道(ACCOUNT)

作者: Maybejessica 时间: 2012-6-18 21:01

我觉得重点突出in terms
of the kind of family in which she grew up

have become intelligible in terms of this social context rather than as the idiosyncratic career of a famous man’s wife.

一定要切题，同意楼上的解答

好解，顶！我开始也理解为描述方法一样，就要题材一样，只有D是bio。然后看了LS的这个不同角度说，恩，觉得这个是正解。赞！

作者: torresAing 时间: 2012-6-19 21:15

其实我们都想的太复杂了。。因为S的书是biography，所以要proceed the study in a similar way，那最有可能的也是写一本biography。。。（

作者: sogapink 时间: 2012-6-20 06:20

A项还是从reformer的角度去看的，等于观察的范围并没有扩大，所以错！
我也说说我的看法。我觉得这道题类比的就是需要扩大范围。原文是讲写一个人的传记不单单从这个人出发，而是从social context来看，所以选项也应该是这样，不应该仅仅局限于要描述的事物，这样很好找到答案。
