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
s cholars cite the words of turn-of-the-
(20) century social reformer Jane Addams,
“Why don’t you ask if suffrage in
general is failing?”
In some ways, however, these
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.
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.

Q35:
The passage is primarily concerned with

A. providing evidence indicating that feminist reformers of the 1920’s failed to reach some of their goals
B. presenting scholarship that contrasts suffragist “promises” with the historical realities of the 1920’s
C. discussing recent scholarship concerning the achievements of women’s suffrage during the 1920’s and presenting an alternative view of those achievements
D. outlining recent findings concerning events leading to suffrage for women in the 1920’s and presenting a challenge to those findings
E. providing support for a traditional view of the success of feminist attempts to increase gender consciousness among women during the 1920’s
Answer:
答案是C我选D。由第一段(第六行到第十七行)得到这个结论。但是为什么选C呢?我看到achievement就把C选项排除了

Q36:
It can be inferred that the author of the passage disagrees with the “new scholarship” mentioned in lines 6-7 regarding the

A. degree to which the “promises” of the suffrage movement remained unkept
B. degree to which suffrage for women improved the morality of governance
C. degree to which the 1920’s represented a period of decline for the feminist movement
D. degree of legislative success achieved by feminist reformers during the 1920’s
E. accuracy of the view that a women’s voting bloc did not materialize once suffrage was achieved
答案是C。我选不出来，因为我看不到author的disagreement，我觉得这里只有在陈述new scholarship的意见。

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
答案是D。我接受，但是C哪里不好呢?是”deplore”这个字出问题吗?




这一篇我觉得文章容易，但问题都出乎意料，很难选。没有人问过。请求NN协助。谢谢先!!

35.第一段: recently schorlarship的态度

    第二段: 还是

   第3段: 作者的态度, however不是指示了alternative的view吗?

其他我晚上再看看

谢谢，我明白第一二段都是recently scholarship 的看法，只是这个achievement 用在这里不会很奇怪吗??  从第一段得知，recently scholarship 反对两件事。1. the long-held view that because a women’s voting bloc did not materialize after women gained the right to vote in 1920, suffrage failed to  produce long-term political gains for women. 2.  the old view that pronounced  suffrage a failure for not delivering on the promise that the women’s vote would bring about moral, corruption-free governance.我倒觉得这里是在说failure而不是achievement啊?? 还是我对achievement看法有错呢?? 欢迎指正。谢谢!!

第一段：new scholarship 反对把1920's的women's suffrage说得一无是处，而认为suffrage本身在衰落(why don't you ask if suffrage in general is failing?)



第二段：这些new scholars承认在1920's,feminist movement本身是在衰落的。



第三段：作者不同意第二段的观点(...however...),并举了一些例子。



35. D错是因为...events leading to suffrage...在文中没有被提到。



36.C对是因为第三段是反驳第二段的观点(...however...)



37.C错是因为在第二段new scholars虽然认为feminist movement declined in 1920's, 但并不认为一点success都没有（在第一段他们就反对这一观点）。而且这里deplore的主语似乎是本文作者而不是这些new scholars，这样的话C就更错了。



其实我觉得这篇文章本身挺难的，倒是选项较容易。我做题的时候就没看懂Jane Addams的那句问句，是分析时才懂的。

A. suggest a reason why suffragist “promises” were not kept

D. explain a view held by feminist scholars
E. answer the question asked by Jane Addams
D中的explain如何翻译？应该翻译为“介绍；陈述”吧？我觉得不应该是“解释”的意思。作者只是在陈述scholarship的观点。

请教NN

“feminist scholarship challengs earlier interpretations that...............” that号面的内容是earlier interpretation 的观点，还是feminist scholarship的观点呀
