Q35 to Q37:



Historians who study European

women of the Renaissance try to mea-

sure “independence,” “options,” and

Line other indicators of the degree to which

(5) the expression of women’s individuality

was either permitted or suppressed.

Influenced by Western individualism,

these historians define a peculiar form

of personhood: an innately bounded

(10) unit, autonomous and standing apart

from both nature and society. An

anthropologist, however, would contend

that a person can be conceived in ways

other than as an “individual.” In many

(15) societies a person’s identity is not

intrinsically unique and self-contained

but instead is defined within a complex

web of social relationships.

In her study of the fifteenth-century

(20) Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a

historian who specializes in European

women of the Renaissance attributes

individual intention and authorship of

actions to her subject. This historian

(25) assumes that Alessandra had goals

and interests different from those of her

sons, yet much of the historian’s own

research reveals that Alessandra

acted primarily as a champion of her

(30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as

her own. Thus Alessandra conforms

more closely to the anthropologist’s

notion that personal motivation is

embedded in a social context. Indeed,

(35) one could argue that Alessandra did

not distinguish her personhood from

that of her sons. In Renaissance

Europe the boundaries of the con-

ceptual self were not always firm

(40) and closed and did not necessarily

coincide with the boundaries of

the bodily self.

Q35:

The passage suggests that the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) would be most likely to agree with which of the following assertions regarding Alessandra Strozzi?



a.Alessandra was able to act more independently than most women of her time because she was a widow.
b.Alessandra was aware that her personal motivation was embedded in a social context.
c.Alessandra had goals and interests similar to those of many other widows in her society.
d.Alessandra is an example of a Renaissance woman who expressed her individuality through independent action.
e.Alessandra was exceptional because she was able to effect changes in the social constraints placed upon women in her society.


為什麼是d不是e呢 :-S

[micht]

我個人想法是...

Indeed,

(35) one could argue that Alessandra did
not distinguish her personhood from
that of her sons

下面的paragraph 反對上面的論點
上面說 A 無法distinguish her personhood from her sons
下面說 Renaissance Eroppe當時 conceptual self not always firm...
自己的 conceptual self還不很明確


In Renaissance
Europe the boundaries of the con-
ceptual self were not always firm
(40) and closed and did not necessarily
coincide with the boundaries of
the bodily self.


Alessandra 和那時很多window一樣 對於自己的conceptual self 還不很確定~~ :D
==>所以大家的goal不明確
(C) 錯 因為不會 大家的goal不會similiar 應該都很不定

(D) 對 因為Alessandra指示 多數window裡面其中一個example who's goal is still not firm

啊~~~~我懂了,thank u~~~~~~~!!! *_^

[Amanda]

可是這題的答案不是D嗎? 我想是不是因為下面這段話的原因...可是又覺得怪怪的~~文中不是也有提到說Alessandra以他兒子的目標為自己的目標, 這跟D選項的(d).Alessandra is an example of a Renaissance woman who expressed her individuality through independent action. 有點不太符合啊~~請好心人幫幫忙吧~~thanks!

更正一下答案是(D)..已兒子的goal 為自己的goal

這是就是這題最奇怪的地方,第二段一開始跟你講

In her study of the fifteenth-century

(20) Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a

historian [b]who specializes in European

women of the Renaissance attributes

individual intention and authorship of

actions to her subject.

到了中間後面整個開始好像否決掉了如下

Thus Alessandra conforms
more closely to the anthropologist’s
notion that personal motivation is
embedded in a social context. Indeed,
(35) one could argue that Alessandra did
not distinguish her personhood from
that of her sons. In Renaissance
Europe the boundaries of the con-
ceptual self were not always firm
(40) and closed and did not necessarily
coincide with the boundaries of
the bodily self.

哪個好心人士對這題有特別體會??
如果跟上一題放在一起,又有矛盾的感覺

Q6:
According to the passage, much of the research on Alessandra Strozzi done by the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) supports which of the following conclusions?

A. Alessandra used her position as her sons’ sole guardian to further interests different from those of her sons.
B. Alessandra unwillingly sacrificed her own interests in favor of those of her sons.
C. Alessandra’s actions indicate that her motivations and intentions were those of an independent individual.
D. Alessandra’s social context encouraged her to take independent action.
E. Alessandra regarded her sons’ goals and interests as her own.

[kikisky]

為什麼是d不是e呢 :-S

(D) 對 因為Alessandra指示 多數window裡面其中一個example who's goal is still not firm

而且文章中提及Alessandra只是當做一個例子來說明
並未提及因果關係(Alessandra was exceptional because she was able to effect ...................)

[kikisky]

m大~我不懂你哪裡不懂ㄋㄟ~~(好像在說繞口令~@@)
哪裡矛盾了??
這是contrast結構的文章~一個historian <----> most historians:表不同主張~~~

我同意這樣的結構
我只是不明白為什麼這一題答案會是D,我選B

[Behemoth]

我覺得文中沒說到b的aware這東西....

[kikisky]

ㄛ~經過B爺的言簡意賅的解釋~
麥克大哥有懂了嗎??
不過我想問的是~那你為什麼不選D的原因???(不像example嗎???)

[訪客]

我昨天經過Grace詳加的教導 ...
終於搞懂了
跟kiki說的差不多,只是我讀的時候沒有注意這個差別
a historian v.s. historians
還我以為文章為什麼沒有前後一致

Historians (who後面修飾Historians先跳過,等抓完文具結構再回頭看是什麼歷史學家)who study European
women of the Renaissance try(抓到主要動辭嘗試) to mea-
sure(原來是嘗試衡量) “independence,” “options,” and
other indicators of the degree (衡量3種東西的程度)to which(受格關代-是哪3種呢?-獨立,意見及個人疏發)
the expression of women’s individuality
was either permitted or suppressed.(看完6行原來只有一句話:研究文藝復興的歐洲女人的歷史學家嘗試衡量上述三種程度)
Influenced by Western individualism(Dangling脫節句型:分辭開頭,主辭在鬥號後,是為了避免主辭重複的簡潔句法),
these historians(主辭:歷史學家) define(主要動辭:定義) a peculiar form
of personhood(定義了一種個人型式)(建議take note應該是主要考點) an innately bounded
unit, autonomous(要背:自治) and standing apart
from both nature and society(相當抽象,有概念就好-就是一個自主而獨立於自然跟社會外的個體). An
anthropologist(禿然提到另一種人-預測必考對比差異), however(果然要代出差異點-要看清楚), would contend(=state=assert)
that a person can be conceived in ways(被以xx方式認知)
other than as an “individual.”(以非個人化認知-直接預測下文必只人被社會環境所影響) (下文若與預測相同直接跳過)In many
societies a person’s identity is not
intrinsically unique and self-contained
but instead(直接跳到這看被蛇麼觀念取代) is defined within a complex
web of social relationships(果然是社會關係,小弟直接跳到下一段)

看起來相當恐怖的18行文章若了解ETS計倆其實也就只有3句話,練多了自然有心理建設.
看完一段要知段落功能,功能就那幾種:不是講概念就是舉例-講出歷史學家對個人的定義及另一派人類學家的看法,並未舉例.因此可預測下段必為舉例部分.

In her study(修辭:代名詞her無先行辭,判斷可能是脫節句型,看主詞有沒有在鬥號後面,沒有就要往前找) of the fifteenth-century
Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi(原來是對F的寡婦的研究-開始舉例), a
historian(就是本段開頭的her,who先跳過,抓到全句架構再回頭看她是誰) who specializes in European
women of the Renaissance attributes(抓到主要動辭attribute A to B把A歸於B)
individual intention and authorship of
actions to her subject
(天哪~一下6行?!其實粉簡單就一句話:一個歷史學家在一個研究中研究了一個主題
這位專長於”文藝復興歐洲女人”的歷史學家在她對”15世紀F地的寡婦AS”的研究中將”個人動機與行為主導性”歸為她的研究主題). (開出了一個案例總不能沒下文? 預測下面必是詳細狀況,快速瞄過抓出主旨)This historian(主辭,當然~不然還有誰)
assumes(主要動辭:假設) that(帶出假設內容-要看清楚,一定跟另一派不同-關鍵考點) Alessandra had goals
and interests(A的目標跟興趣) different from(與誰不同) those of her
sons(原來是跟小孩的不同), yet(轉折,可預測必與假設相反,心中有預測後快速掃過是否與預測相同.若相同就跳過) much of the historian’s own
research(多半她的研究) reveals(主要動辭:揭露) that(帶出揭露點-前已預測跟假設不同,看清楚如何不同?) Alessandra
acted(A實際行動如何?) primarily as a champion of her
sons’ interests, taking their goals as
her own(原來是把小孩們的興趣跟目標當作自己的—跟原本歷史學家認為只是獨立的個人相左-反而與另依派人類學家的說法吻合: 全文關鍵主旨). Thus(因此) Alessandra conforms
more closely(向xx接近) to the anthropologist’s
notion(果然沒錯: 接近人類學家說法人是社會環境的集合) that(已知主旨,後可快速掃過或跳過) personal motivation is
embedded in a social context. Indeed(忽然冒出一句不知是誰講的:就是作者意見,可考態度題:作者贊同蛇麼-贊同人類學家說人是社會集合),
one could argue that(有人會說xxx:作者自己預設反駁意見-表示作者贊同另一看法) Alessandra did
not distinguish her personhood from
that of her sons(有人會說A不把自己與小孩分開來看-事實上作者不以為然). In Renaissance
Europe(形容詞片語補述後面主辭) the boundaries(主辭:xx的範圍) of the con-
ceptual self(概念自我的範圍) were not always(主要動辭:並不總是) firm
and closed(概念自我的範圍並不總是固定而封閉) and(對等連接詞帶出平行定義) did not necessarily(也並不必然)
coincide(與xx巧合,交疊) with the boundaries of
the bodily self.(一下又來6行…好像很恐怖-其實還是粉簡單)
(概念自我的範圍並不總是固定而封閉,也並不必然與身體的自我交疊)

看完第二段自然知道段落功能-(一樣不是解說概念就是舉例)本段舉例支持歷史學家概念向人類學家概念靠攏(且作者認同)

全文主旨(就是貫串全文的主軸為何)-實例證實歷史學家對個人的定義像人類學家說法(人是社會的巨集)靠攏
