Linda Kerber argued in the mid-1980s that after the American Revolution (1775–1783), an ideology of “republican motherhood” resulted in a surge of educational opportunities for women in the United States. Kerber maintained that the leaders of the new nation wanted women to be educated in order to raise politically virtuous sons. A virtuous citizenry was considered essential to the success of the country’s republican form of government; virtue was to be instilled not only by churches and schools, but by families, where the mother’s role was crucial. Thus, according to Kerber, motherhood became pivotal to the fate of the republic, providing justification for an unprecedented attention to female education.
Introduction of the “republican motherhood” thesis dramatically changed historiography. Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception. Examining newspaper advertisements for academies, Woody found that educational opportunities increased for both girls and boys around 1750. Pointing to “An Essay on Woman” (1753) as reflecting a shift in view, Woody also claimed that practical education for females had many advocates before the Revolution. Woody’s evidence challenges the notion that the Revolution changed attitudes regarding female education, although it may have accelerated earlier trends. Historians’ reliance on Kerber’s “republican motherhood” thesis may have obscured the presence of these trends, making it difficult to determine to what extent the Revolution really changed women’s lives.
According to the passage, within the field of educational history, Thomas Woody’s 1929 work was
innovative because it relied on newspaper advertisements as evidence
exceptional in that it concentrated on the period before the American Revolution
unusual in that it focused on educational attitudes rather than on educational practices
controversial in its claims regarding educational opportunities for boys
atypical in that it examined the education of girls
题目分析：
文章细节题：在教育史里，TW的1929的工作？
选项分析：
A选项：是创新的，因为它的证据来源于报纸上的广告：报纸上的广告是TW得出结论的信息来源，但这不是innovative的原因，这里没有因果关系。
B选项：是特别的，因为它关注了revolution之前的时期：原文提到它是特别的，但原因并不是因为它关注AR之前的时期。
C选项：是不同寻常的，因为它关注了教育态度而不是教育的事实：因果关系不成立。
D选项：在男性受教育机会这方面是有争议的：没有提。
E选项：正确。是不典型的因为它调查了女性的教育情况：与原文一致，原文写到，在LK之前，教育学专家很少提到女性，而TW1929的研究是个例外。说明他提到了女性。
Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.
B选项：是特别的，因为它关注了revolution之前的时期：原文提到它是特别的，但原因并不是因为它关注AR之前的时期。
atypical 非典型的
B: 原文中没有提到before the AR; Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.
这道细节题需要往前找，做题的时候一定不能忘记往前看！！！
Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.答案只往后找了，没有往前看。要听从自己的感觉，选不出来不要硬选，看看是不是没定位对。
非典型的就是例外！就是说他不是他大多数！知道词意居然也能理解错。。。
rc
错选b；生词
barely 几乎不； controversial 有争议的；controversy 争议；atypical 非典型的
从barely那句，词意，选e，这是他的独特性
定位Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls;

B选项：是特别的，因为它关注了revolution之前的时期：原文提到它是特别的，但原因并不是因为它关注AR之前的时期，而是教育方面的历史学家都没有关注对女性的教育，只有他关注了。

not typical or usual
非典型的，不同寻常的
Locate to--------------------Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.
typical，有代表性的；atypical，没有代表性的。典型的意思就是这个人能集中体现某个群体的某种品质。
定位：Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.
选项B：关注了AR之前的时期。从逻来说并非是因为TW关注了AR之前的时期才导致他的研究exceptional。而是因为TW检验了女性和女孩的教育，发现了在AR之前女性教育机会已经增加了（TW的conclusion）
a为什么不对？文章中有说到Examining newspaper advertisements for academies,
Examining newspaper advertisements for academies这个不是Tomas研究是个例外的原因
Prior to Kerber’s work, educational historians barely mentioned women and girls; Thomas Woody’s 1929 work is the notable exception.
Woody found that educational opportunities increased for both girls and boys around 1750。
在kerber之前的研究很少提到girl的教育，但Thomas是个例外，他关注both girl和boys的教育机会。
所以答案是E，Thomas的研究非典型，因为他研究了girl的教育

b不对在于，没提到女性教育，但从b的内容上来看，只是说它的内容是revolution之前的，没说什么内容
是个题为什么B不对？
