社科阅读法国二月革命。来源吴中东老G真题

我爱瓜小妖UID：3014785

In February 1848 the people of Paris rose in revolt against the constitutional monarchy of Louis-Philippe. Despite the existence of excellent narrative accounts, the February Days, as this revolt is called, have been largely ignored by social historians of the past two decades. For each of the three other major insurrections in nineteenth-century Paris—July 1830, June 1848, and May 1871—there exists at least a sketch of participants’ backgrounds and an analysis, more or less rigorous, of the reasons for the occurrence of the uprisings. Only in the case of the February Revolution do we lack a useful description of participants that might characterize it in the light of what social history has taught us about the process of revolutionary mobilization.

Two reasons for this relative neglect seem obvious. First, the insurrection of February has been overshadowed by that of June. The February Revolution overthrew a regime, to be sure, but met with so little resistance that it failed to generate any real sense of historical drama. Its successor, on the other hand, appeared to pit key socioeconomic groups in a life-or-death struggle and was widely seen by contemporary observers as marking a historical departure. Through their interpretations, which exert a continuing influence on our understanding of the revolutionary process, the impact of the events of June has been magnified, while, as an unintended consequence, the significance of the February insurrection has been diminished. Second, like other “successful” insurrections, the events of February failed to generate the most desirable kinds of historical records. Although the June insurrection of 1848 and the Paris Commune of 1871 would be considered watersheds of nineteenth-century French history by any standard, they also present the social historian with a signal advantage: these failed insurrections created a mass of invaluable documentation as a by-product of authorities’ efforts to search out and punish the rebels.

Quite different is the outcome of successful insurrections like those of July 1830 and February 1848. Experiences are retold, but participants typically resume their daily routines without ever recording their activities. Those who played salient roles may become the objects of highly embellished verbal accounts or in rare cases, of celebratory articles in contemporary periodicals. And it is true that the publicly acknowledged leaders of an uprising frequently write memoirs. However, such documents are likely to be highly unreliable, unrepresentative, and unsystematically preserved, especially when compared to the detailed judicial dossiers prepared for everyone arrested following a failed insurrection. As a consequence, it may prove difficult or impossible to establish for a successful revolution a comprehensive and trustworthy picture of those who participated, or to answer even the most basic questions one might pose concerning the social origins of the insurgents.

题目：It can be inferred from the passage that support for the objectives of the February Revolution was
(A) negligible
(B) misguided
(C) fanatical
(D) spontaneous
(E) widespread


吴中东答案：B,理由：原文However, such documents are likely to be highly unreliable, unrepresentative, and unsystematically preserved, especially when compared to the detailed judicial dossiers prepared for everyone arrested following a failed insurrection. 说明历史资料不够准确不够好，无法为 the objectives of the February Revolution提供足够的证据（support for），因此使人误入歧途，是misguided。

NG阅读大全答案：E，没有解析，我猜测是因为：原文The February Revolution overthrew a regime, to be sure, but met with so little resistance that it failed to generate any real sense of historical drama. 二月革命遭到了很少的抵抗，因此可以推测support是widespread的。

问题：这道题的题干我都读不懂，最后是乱选的。这个support到底是指1.对二月革命目的的支持 2.为二月革命目的提供证明、支持的历史材料。

完全晕掉了。看两个答案估计也是两种意思。请大家帮忙分析一下。多谢。

额这个问题确实好像可以两种解释都可以，但是我觉得第三段应该说的是1848年2月的造反的记录都不可信所以对这次造反的领导者的描述甚至是叛乱者的社会起源的描述都不会让人很好的接受。而这些内容都是跟叛乱领导者有关的，跟叛乱的目的我觉得还是有差距的吧
