Traditional social science models of class groups in the United States are based on economic status and assume that women's economic status derives from association with men, typically fathers or husbands, and that women therefore have more compelling common interest with men of their own economic class than with women outside it. Some feminist social scientists, by contrast, have argued that the basic division in American society is instead based on gender, and that the total female population, regardless of economic status, constitutes a distinct class. Social historian Mary Ryan, for example, has argued that in early-nineteenth-century America the identical legal status of working-class and middle-class free women outweighed the differences between women of these two classes: married women, regardless of their family's wealth, did essentially the same unpaid domestic work, and none could own property or vote. Recently, though, other feminist analysts have questioned this model, examining ways in which the condition of working-class women differs from that of middle-class women as well as from that of working-class men. Ann Oakley notes, for example, that the gap between women of different economic classes widened in the late nineteenth century: most working-class women, who performed wage labor outside the home, were excluded from the emerging middle-class ideal of femininity centered around domesticity and volunteerism.
Which of the following statements best characterizes the relationship between traditional social science models of class and Ryan's model, as described in the passage?
Ryan's model differs from the traditional model by making gender, rather than economic status, the determinant of women's class status.
The traditional social science model of class differs from Ryan's in its assumption that women are financially dependent on men.
Ryan's model of class and the traditional social science model both assume that women work, either within the home or for pay.
The traditional social science model of class differs from Ryan's in that each model focuses on a different period of American history.
Both Ryan's model of class and the traditional model consider multiple factors, including wealth, marital status, and enfranchisement, in determining women's status.

从题设上定位于关键词“Ryan”和“traditional”出现的文章中间部分和第一句。内容较为简单,比较容易作答。
选项分析:
A选项:Correct. Ryan的模型与传统的不同在于认为性别,而不是经济地位,决定了女性的阶层地位。这个选项必须要定位到Ryan出现的前面“is instead based on gender, and that the total female population, regardless of economic status, constitutes a distinct class. Social historian Mary Ryan, for example,”Ryan的观点是早期社会学家观点的一个例子,所以Ryan肯定也是认为性别决定阶层地位的。
B选项:传统观点模型和Ryan的不同之处在于其假设女性的经济是依靠男人的。传统观点确实假设了女性的经济是依靠男人的,但是早期的社会学家并没有反驳这个观点,而是从性别上给予出了另外的解读。
C选项: Ryan的模型和传统模型都假设了女性的工作,要么在家中,要么为了赚钱。定位在“, did essentially the same unpaid domestic work”这小段话出现在Ryan的例子中,说明Ryan没有假设女性要么在家要么赚钱。
D选项: Ryan的模型和传统模型都假设了女性的工作,要么在家中,要么为了赚钱。定位在“, did essentially the same unpaid domestic work”这小段话出现在Ryan的例子中,说明Ryan没有假设女性要么在家要么赚钱。
E选项:Ryan的模型和传统模型都考虑到了决定女性阶层的许多因素,包括财富,婚姻状况,和选举权的授予。从文中来看,这个选项所说的这些因素Ryan的模型都有提到,但是没有证据显示传统观点也考虑到了这些因素。
the total female population, regardless of economic status, constitutes a distinct class
B选项,Ryan并没有否认经济上依靠男人,只是引入了另外的划分的方式,性别内的差异比阶级差异更大
B选项排除的原因

在第一个论点中,他说的是女性的经济地位和自己家庭中的有关,从而女性的社会地位是依靠着经济地位来区分的。其实并没有提出了女性的经济是靠着男性。
第二个论点相反,指出女性的地位区分更依靠着性别而不是经济地位。

看错题也要通读全文,即使是粗读,否则也无法做好
C选项和D选项的解释一样......
打错了w(゚Д゚)w。。应选A。。
错选B。
Ryan那句话里面有for example,就该意识到Ryan是承接上一句话的观点。。应选C。。。
关于B选项有些疑问,题目是问关于relationship between Ryan and traditional social science的, 那么B选项也只指出了不同。为什么B不对?并且,您在讲解B选项的时候,给出的解释是:“但是早期的社会学家并没有反驳这个观点,而是从性别上给予出了另外的解读”。可是选项里也没有出现反驳观点的话,选项只是说出了不同而已啊? 这些疑问,希望您能看到,谢谢。
