标题: 阅读一小题不理解，求解惑！ [打印本页]

Current feminist theory, in validating women’s own
stories of their experience, has encouraged scholars
of women’s history to view the use of women’s oral
narratives as the methodology, next to the use of
women’s written autobiography, that brings historians
closest to the “reality” of women’s lives. Such
narratives, unlike most standard histories, represent
experience from the perspective of women, affi rm
the importance of women’s contributions, and furnish
present-day women with historical continuity that is
essential to their identity, individually and collectively.
Scholars of women’s history should, however, be
as cautious about accepting oral narratives at face
value as they already are about written memories.
Oral narratives are no more likely than are written
narratives to provide a disinterested commentary on
events or people. Moreover, the stories people tell to
explain themselves are shaped by narrative devices
and storytelling conventions, as well as by other
cultural and historical factors, in ways that the
storytellers may be unaware of. The political rhetoric
of a particular era, for example, may influence
women’s interpretations of the signifi cance of their
experience. Thus a woman who views the Second
World War as pivotal in increasing the social
acceptance of women’s paid work outside the home
may reach that conclusion partly and unwittingly
because of wartime rhetoric encouraging a positive
view of women’s participation in such work.

39. Which of the following best describes the function of the last sentence of the passage?
(A) It describes an event that historians view as crucial in recent women’s history.
(B) It provides an example of how political rhetoric may influence the interpretations of experience reported in women’s oral narratives.
(C) It provides an example of an oral narrative that inaccurately describes women’s experience
during a particular historical period.
(D) It illustrates the point that some women are more aware than others of the social forces that shape their oral narratives.
(E) It identifies the historical conditions that led to the social acceptance of women’s paid work outside the home.
这题的C想不明白为什么错了？

小菜觉得miffyhui 是不是纠结在B 和C 的选项了~~~
我觉得哈，既然是问功能，那就要看看最后一句话在第二段的作用~~(我貌似记得这文章是两段的~~)
在第二段开头，作者用however表示了作者第二段的重点~~
而politic的那个东东应该是例子里面的东东，这算是细节~~

那，既然是问function，那肯定应该是要呼应第二段（however处）的重心~~
而根据句义，thus这句话也是for example里面的内容（不能只看句号就觉得不是~~）
所以“it provides an example” 是靠谱的~~

再看哈，既然thus也是for example里面的内容，那么thus就和politic在例子里面是因果
（这里要明确一点的是：thus也好，politic也好，都是for example里面的内容~！！这点很关键，因为如果你只是草草的看到了thus就认为是前一句的总结而没有考虑句子的地位）

这样一分析，问最后一句的function实际上问的就是for example在这段的作用，那很明确，就是要解释说明however的内容~~~~
所以就选c了~~

想了想，给你画个简图吧~~

however ： cautious about accepting oral narratives （段意）
（支持1）→：Oral narratives are no more likely than are written narratives to provide a disinterested commentary
（支持2）→： shaped themselves （对应c中：inaccurately ）---------- → （解释说明“支持2”）for example：babababa~
切记一点，politic 和 thus是在for example里面的因果，所以他们都算是for example的~~~

严重同意LZ的解释。我觉得楼主可能更关心这句话的内容了。但实际上这道题靠的是function，也就是说此时我们要更多关注的是这句话的逻辑关系，而不是内容。
我记得我上XDF的时候阅读老师说做function的这样来，如果问的是一个例子or一个因果论证or一个结论，那么他们的作用一般来说都是论证观点的。如果是一个原因，那一般来说是解释结果的。
我不知道我啰里吧嗦的表达的楼主能理解否。。。不过欢迎楼主继续讨论~~~

作者: HenriWilligS 时间: 2012-11-2 21:14

这道题选B
好久没写在这篇，再写这道题误选了C，而且还觉得C很合理，不知道哪里错了？

这道题就选B，麻烦分析一下！谢谢了

我简单说一下吧。
既然是function，那这些逻辑词就很重要了呀。这里很给力的出现了thus，辣么有结果就得有讨论或者论证。然后他又是最后一句，我们就往前找，前边有个for example，例子一般都是论证某一个观点的，恩，那我们再往前找，蓝后就看到了moreover，好啦，经过之前的读文章我们知道这个是however说明的第二个点，那门也就是我们要找到观点了。hope it helps~

作者: willgoeu 时间: 2012-11-4 06:42

说实话，我还是想选c~~道理就是我之前说的~~~
但既然答案是b，肯定说明我是错的了~~

可能是这样的：thus和politic都是在for example里面，且是因果~~（这点不变）
变的是：thus因为是紧跟前面的politic，且因为是因果，所以在“for example”的大前提下，thus是politic的结果，一因一果，所以就有了B~~~~~~

作者: FindNeverland 时间: 2012-11-4 20:17

我觉得你说的对，但是个人认为看到example还应该再往前看一下，看到moreover就更保险了。

建议LZ下一个牛牛的阅读分析，里面会有解释的~~~~其实我觉得og应该解释的挺清楚的~~（ps：最近没有看g，所以不太清楚og的阅读这题讲的是什么啦~~）

This question requires recognizing how a
particular part of the passage is related to the
overall reasoning in the passage. The first
paragraph introduces a methodology and
describes the methodology's appeal. The second
paragraph then raises concerns about the use of
the methodology, drawing attention to the
cultural and historical bias that may be present in
oral narratives. In line 21, the passage refers
specifically to the influence political rhetoric may
have on a woman's understanding of her
experience. In the final sentence, the passage
provides a specific hypothetical example of a
woman at the time of the Second World War to
illustrate this concern.

A The last sentence employs a hypothetical
example and does not describe a particular
event as being important to historians.
B Correct. After contendingthat political
rhetoric may influence oral narratives, the
passage uses the example of the Second
World War in the final sentence to support
this claim.
C The last sentence does not provide a
particular example of an oral narrative.
D The passage does not claim that some
women are more aware than others of the
social forces that may bear on them.
E The passage does not claim that social
conditions during the Second World War
led to acceptance of women in the
workplace.
说实话，看完OG对于C项的解释依然不明白！
