但是看好多人都選不同的答案

可以請大家幫幫忙!謝謝

引用CD:sunnybest

In mid-February 1917 a
women’s movement independent
of political affiliation erupted in
Line New York City, the stronghold of
(5) the Socialist party in the United
states. Protesting against the high
cost of living, thousands of women
refused to buy chickens, fish, and
vegetables. The boycott shut
(10) down much of the City’s foodstuffs
marketing for two weeks, riveting
public attention on the issue of
food prices, which had increased
partly as a result of increased
(15) exports of food to Europe that had
been occurring since the outbreak
of the First World War.
By early 1917 the Socialist
party had established itself as a
(20) major political presence in New
York City. New York Socialists,
whose customary spheres of
struggle were electoral work and
trade union organizing, seized the
(25) opportunity and quickly organized
an extensive series of cost-of-
living protests designed to direct
the women’s movement toward
Socialist goals. Underneath the
(30) Socialists’ brief commitment to
cost-of-living organizing lay a
basic indifference to the issue
itself. While some Socialists did
view price protests as a direct
(35) step toward socialism, most
Socialists ultimately sought to
divert the cost-of-living movement into alternative channels of protest. Union organizing, they argued,
(40) was the best method through which to combat the high cost of living.
For others, cost-of-living or oganizing was valuable insofar as it led
women into the struggle for suf (45
frage, and similarly, the suffrage
struggle was valuable insofar as
it moved United States society
one step closer to socialism.
Although New York’s Social-
(50) ists saw the cost-of-living issue
as, at best, secondary or tertiary
to the real task at hand, the boycotters,
by sharp contrast, joined
the price protest movement out of
(55) an urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living issue.
A shared experience of swiftly
declining living standards caused
by rising food prices drove these
(60) women to protest. Consumer
organizing spoke directly to their
daily lives and concerns; they
saw cheaper food as a valuable
end in itself. Food price protests
(65) were these women’s way of organizing
at their own workplace, as
workers whose occupation was
shopping and preparing food for
their families.

Q25
The author suggests which of the following about the New York Socialists’ commitment to the cost- of-living movement?
A. It lasted for a relatively short period of time.
B. It was stronger than their commitment to the Suffrage struggle.
C. It predated the cost-of-living protests that Erupted in 1917.
D. It coincided with their attempts to bring more
Women into union organizing.
E. It explained the popularity of the Socialist
party in New York City.
Answer:

Q26
It can be inferred from the passage that the goal
of the boycotting women was the
A. achievement of an immediate economic
outcome
B. development of a more socialistic society
C. concentration of widespread consumer
protests on the more narrow issue of
food prices
D. development of one among a number of
different approaches that the women
wished to employ in combating the high
cost of living.
E. attraction of more public interest to issues
that the women and the New York Socialists
considered important.
Answer:

Q27 Which of the following best states the function of the
passage as a whole?
A. To contrast the views held by the Socialist party
and by the boycotting women of New York City
on the cost-of-living issue
B. To analyze the assumptions underlying opposing
viewpoints within the New York Socialist
party of 1917
C. To provide a historical perspective on different
approaches to the resolution of the cost-of-
living issue.
D. To chronicle the sequence of events that led
to the New York Socialist party’s emergence
as a political power
E. To analyze the motivations behind the Socialist
party’s involvement in the women’s suffrage
movement.
Answer:

Q28.
According to the passage, most New York
Socialists believed which of the following about
the cost-of-living movement?
A. It was primarily a way to interest women
in joining the Socialist party.
B. It was an expedient that was useful only
insofar as it furthered other goals.
C. It would indirectly result in an increase in
the number of women who belonged to
labor unions.
D. It required a long-term commitment but
Inevitably represented a direct step
Toward socialism.
E. It served as an effective complement to

沒看到妳先轉貼了...

My answer is AAAB,
but as far as I remember from CD, there was not so many people suport A for theQ25-27.
Welcome to discuss

Q25 (A) and (D) are my best 2 choices, I didn't choose D because the passage do not mention D.

Q27 (A) and (E) are my best 2 choices, I didn't choose E because Socialist party’s involvement was in the high-price protest, not the suffrage.

文章Chris1 » 2006-12-03 10:17

這篇第27題我是選C,
因為我覺得如果是用"contrast"這個字的話,
原文中作者的觀點應該會更強烈一點,
雖然原文的其中一段,
" Although New York’s Social-
(50) ists saw the cost-of-living issue
as, at best ,secondary or tertiary
to the real task at hand, the boy-
cotters, by sharp contrast, joined
the price protest movement out of
(55) an urgent and deeply felt commit-
ment to the cost-of-living issue."
這裡可以看的出作者用contrast,
不過我覺得就以整篇原文來看的話,
作者似乎比較像是在用敘述的態度,
所以我是選C啦~~~
如果小弟有講錯的地方,
請各位牛大包容^^

27題的部分 我覺得是A 因為

第一段講發生了protest
第二段講Socialists的種種看法
第三段講參加杯葛活動的這些婦女的想法

所以我覺得整體來說是contrast

26題我覺得是C~

文章auguding » 2007-01-22 03:01

因為一開始是說the high cost of living的問題所以有PROTEST
在9-13行:
The boycott shut.
(10) down much of the City’s foodstuffs
marketing for two weeks, riveting
public attention on the issue of
food prices,
這邊就說明了把這個議題RIVET(FOCUS)到the issue of price上
所以BOYCOTT的GOAL就是答案C啦~~~ ;))

文章qqwws » 2007-04-02 21:25

我覺得27題是C
原因如下:第一段講對抗high cost of living的方法是boycott
之後第2段提到另一個方法:union organization
請指教
