问题 It can be inferred from the passage that accidental-death damage awards in America during the nineteenth century tended to be based principally on the______ [br] The primary purpose of the passage is to______
选项 A、review the literature in a new academic subfield
B、present the central thesis of a recent book
C、contrast two approaches to analyzing historical change
D、refute a traditional explanation of a social phenomenon
E、encourage further work on a neglected historical topic
答案 B
解析 B is the best answer. In the first paragraph, the author contrasts two incidents that are said to exemplify the transformation in social values that forms the subject of Zelizer’s book. The second and third paragraphs consist of a brief history of that transformation, as Zelizer presents it, and an account of the factors she considers important in bringing it about. In the last paragraph, the author explains how Zelizer’s thesis differs from that of sociological economists. Thus, the passage serves primarily to present the central thesis of Zelizer’s book. A and E misrepresent the subject matter of the passage. D mispresents the author’s approach. C is incorrect because although the passage does contrast two approaches, this contrast takes place only in the final paragraph.
