Q27 推論題
in fact,
both the absolute numbers and
(15) the percentage of adult women
participating in civil cases grew
steadily throughout the eighteenth
century, but the legal activity of
men also increased dramatically,
(20) and at a much faster rate.

因為 grew steadily 所以應該不會 smilar ,雖然 (C) 的 considerably 和 dramatically 實在對應得很漂亮,但 ETS 也蠻常以這個方式下陷阱.
覺得 (B) 和文章的意思比較貼近,雖然用詞醜醜的(簡直是 awkward) ,偽裝術囉!

Q25
The passage is primarily concerned with
A. reporting an author’s view of a phenomenon
B. disputing the reasons usually given for an
unexpected change
C. evaluating the conclusions reached by an
author
D. assessing the impact of certain legal
decisions.
E. defending a controversial point of view

那這題該選A還是C阿 @ @

[dibert8]

evaluate 應該有作者意見,這一篇只是描述一個研究,作者沒有表示褒貶.所以支持 (A).

[chris8888]

Dayton contends that,
although still performing crucial
economic services in their
(40) communities—services that
contributed to the commercialization
of the colonial economy—women
remained for the most part outside
the new economic and legal culture
of the eighteenth century.

我個人以為, 位末段作者表達看法, 認為女人介入經濟活動仍就有侷限, 從1719 ~ 1789, 還在受到局限, 那就suggest了差不多, 差不多就是similarity,
因此支持Q27 : C

我有一個很笨的問題

請問

(A)reporting an author’s view of a phenomenon

(C) evaluating the conclusions reached by an author

裡的author 是指整篇文章的作者還是文中書中的作者呢?

謝謝

[pimi]

我想應該是指整篇文章的作者, 通常如果題目要問文章中有出現過的人名或是文中書的作者, 通常會寫出人名來, 不太會寫author來代替人名~

針對25題 我想請問一下 版上大部分牛人總結是本篇作者並未闡釋自己的意見 而是主要在描述書本作者(Dayton)的 意見 若是如此 則A選中author不就應該是指Dayton而非本篇作者才對吧!!
