一道机经阅读求解

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
答案选E

D中的good writers在原文没有体现, 因此是一个out of scope选项.

women writers的特点是注重于village communities的diversity, 且其geographical mobility比较restricted. Yet后面的内容是在说G丰富了这些writers的文本内容(尽管G本人也是这些women writers中的一份子, 因为题目里提示了she), 接着call the ability to attend to voices other than one’s own的意思则是说要她呼吁要多多关注自己以外的声音, 而这显然是women writers所欠缺的.

选E.
