Recent feminist scholarship concerning the United States in the 1920s challenges earlier interpretations that assessed the 1920s in terms of the unkept "promises" of the women’s suffrage movement. This new scholarship disputes the long-held view that because a women’s voting bloc did not materialize after women gained the right to vote in 1920, suffrage failed to produce long-term political gains for women. These feminist scholars also challenge the old view that pronounced suffrage a failure for not delivering on the promise that the women’s vote would bring about moral, corruption-free governance. Asked whether women’s suffrage was a failure, these scholars cite the words of turn-of-the-century social reformer Jane Addams, "Why don’t you ask if suffrage in general is failing?"
In some ways, however, these scholars still present the 1920s as a period of decline. After suffrage, they argue, the feminist movement lost its cohesiveness, and gender consciousness waned. After the mid-1920s, few successes could be claimed by feminist reformers: little could be seen in the way of legislative victories.
During this decade, however, there was intense activism aimed at achieving increased autonomy for women, broadening the spheres within which they lived their daily lives. Women’s organizations worked to establish opportunities for women: they strove to secure for women the full entitlements of citizenship, including the right to hold office and the right to serve on juries. [br] The purpose of the second paragraph of the passage is to
选项
A、suggest a reason why suffragist "promises" were not kept
B、contrast suffragist "promises" with the reality of the 1920s
C、deplore the lack of successful feminist reform in the 1920s
D、explain a view held by feminist scholars
E、answer the question asked by Jane Addams
答案
D
解析
The second paragraph of the passage describes certain views presented in the recent feminist scholarship discussed in the first paragraph. In the first paragraph, this new scholarship is described as challenging earlier interpretations that suggested that "promises" of the women’s suffrage movement had not been kept.
Though this new scholarship argues that it is a mistake to view women’s suffrage as a failure, the scholarship nonetheless does, in some ways, present the 1920s as a period of decline. The second paragraph of the passage explains precisely how the scholars present such a view.
A Both the author and the new scholarship discussed in the passage reject the interpretation that suffragist "promises" remained unkept.
B The second paragraph does not present a contrast between the reality of the 1920s and the suffragist "promises." This paragraph does present ways in which the new scholarship saw the 1920s as a period of decline. However, both the author and this new scholarship argue that it is improper to interpret the results of women’s suffrage in the 1920s as unkept "promises"
C As noted in the third paragraph, the author sees successful feminist reform in the 1920s. It is therefore incorrect to suggest that the author intends the second paragraph to deplore a lack of successful feminist reform during this period.
D Correct. As discussed above, the second paragraph explains how this new scholarship presents the 1920s as a period of decline.
E Jane Addams’s question was rhetorical; there is no answer to this question in the passage.
The correct answer is D.
