Two works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women. Buel and Buel's biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women's status, only Lebsock's deals with it directly. She examines several different aspects of women's status, helping to refine and resolve the issues. She concludes that while women gained autonomy in some areas, especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example. 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.
According to the passage, Lebsock's work differs from Buel and Buel's work in that Lebsock's work
uses a large number of primary sources
ignores issues of women's legal status
refuses to take a position on women's status in the eighteenth century
addresses larger historiographical issues
fails to provide sufficient material to support its claims
题目分析:
文章推断题:根据文章,L和B的works不同点是,L的work?
选项分析:
A选项:用了大量的原始资料:原文没有提到“原始资料”。
B选项:忽略了女性的法律地位:原文没有提到“法律地位”。
C选项:没有考虑女性在18世纪的地位:文章中提到L研究了18和19世纪的女性的地位。
D选项:正确。强调了更大的史学地位:文章对比L和B,认为L在史学背景下讨论了女性的地位,而B没有。
E选项:没有提供充足的资料:文章没有提到L的资料不足。
Buel and Buel's biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth,ample丰富的--》A错
Buel and Buel's biography does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women's status--》L的作品直接分析了19世纪女性地位高低的问题--〉解决了一个更大的历史问题
Buel and Buel's biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century.
Buel和Buel的玛丽-菲什(1736-1818)传记几乎没有努力将她的故事放在近代妇女史学的背景中。同时,莱布索克不仅试图书写一个南方社区的妇女史,而且试图重新引导20年来的历史学辩论,即与18世纪相比,妇女在19世纪的地位是获得还是失去。
所以答案是D,讨论了更宏观的史学问题
逐个排除之后发现只能选D,文首有明确观点
make little effort 是没有否定的意思!

词汇理解不到位;做多余假设
address 设法解决,而不是讨论提出强调!----词汇理解不到位
She examines several different aspects of women's status, helping to refine and resolve the issues.
a用了大量的原始资料:原文没有提到“原始资料”。---做多余假设,没有看到更正确的选项,就去选了一个文中没出现过词的选项,自己多了多余假设,没提到千万不能选!
这个address离定位差的有点远啊...只能尽量排除法了
larger 更大量的更多的,不是更大的,此处释义,理解错误成更大的
Buel and Buel's biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women.
Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth
答案在这里:Buel makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to ... but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to .....
依据:B makes little effort --meanwhile L attempts not only... but also...
做错是因为依据了:Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women's status, only Lebsock's deals with it directly.
定位:redirect two decades of historiographical debate//Buel and Buel's biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) /makes little effort /to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one /southern community/, but also to /redirect/ two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century.
用排除法选择A。个人觉得这道题出的有问题。L的work和B&B最明显的不同就是L directly deals with women's status. 但是women's status是不是一个所谓的larger issue其实原文中没有提到。make little effort 说的是是否在某项内容上下功夫,和 issue is large or small是没有任何关系的。
ample 大量的

定位词:historiographical

C-是开篇“BB makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. ”的改写
E-是段末 “ BB biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth....but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women's status.”的改写,B有raw material,而L不仅提供了raw material,还提供了guidance。
B和L的不同原文从一开始就说了,但是没有说的那么明显,先是批评了B,说她little effort,那相反L就是more。
only Lebsock's deals with it directly 不等于 primary sources...想太多
看清楚是Lebsock's work
