Buell' study of village sketches (a type of fiction popular in the United States in the 1830s and 1840s) provides a valuable summary of sketches that portray the community as homogeneous and fixed, but it ignores those by women writers, which typically depicted the diversity that increasingly characterized actual village communities at that time. These women's geographical mobility was restricted (although women writers of the time were not uniformly circumscribed in this way), and their subject matter reflected this fact. Yet their texts were enriched by what Gilligan, writing in a different context, has called the ability to attend to voices other than one's own. To varying degrees, the women's sketches portray differences among community members: all stress differences among men and among women (particularly the latter) as well as differences between the sexes, and some also depict cultural diversity. These writers represent community as dynamic, as something that must be negotiated and renegotiated because of its members' divergent histories, positions, expectations, and beliefs.
题目:
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
According to the passage, village sketches written by women in the United States in the 1830s and 1840s typically reflected
A. the negotiations that characterized trade relationships between villages
B. the fact that these women did not often travel very far beyond their own village
C. the plurality of experiences and ideas that existed among the residents of a village
想问一下C选项为什么是对的啊?
C选项说的是,1830-1840年的美国女性乡村作家描绘了村民多样的经历和观点
首先,文章一开始便提到but it ignores those by women writers, which typically depicted the diversity that increasingly characterized actual village communities at that time. 从女性作家的角度来看,当时的村庄是多样的,这和C选项有一定的贴合。
倘若觉得还缺乏证据,可以看到这一段话 Yet their texts were enriched by what Gilligan...has called the ability to attend to voices other than one's own.the women's sketches portray differences among community members... because of its members' divergenthistories, positions, expectations, and beliefs. Voices就是指不一样的观点,difference, divergent对应选项中的plurality, histories对应experiences.
总的来说,C选项就是对文中女性作家视野下的村庄做了一个概述,different experiences and ideas虽然不能找到原文对应,但是文中有很多近义词讲了这个。而且C在精神上是和文章贴切的
