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.
3. The passage indicates that when Gilligan spoke of “the ability to attend to voices other than
one’s own,” she
A. did not consider that ability to be a desirable psychological characteristic
B. did not believe that individuals differ greatly with respect to that ability
C. was implying that that ability enhances a sense of belonging in communities
D. was assuming that good writers are able to depict diverse characters
E. was not discussing the women who wrote village sketches
还是在于Yet 这句话的理解:
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.

一开始不明白为什么定位在writing in a different context上
后来觉得attend to voices other than one’s own 里面的one's 应该说的是这些女作家自己,而voices讲的是后面的community members,other than one’s own 就是将没有专注他们自己,感觉这样解释好像比较好理解,不知道对不对

這理解不對吧...
應該是
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.
這句給出 subject matter 反映了geographical mobility was restricted的事實
下一句:
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.
然而作品were enriched,因為women writers使用了一種Gilligan在別的文章中提到的能力(技巧):the ability to attend to voices other than one’s own
one's是指使用這種能力(技巧)的人
這邊想表達的是Gilligan提到這種技巧時候,並不是針對此篇文章中的women而提及的。所以答案選 E。
