Last week we talked about Anne Bradstreet and role of women in the Puritan colonies. Today I want to talk about some other women who’ve contributed to American history—some famous and some not-so-famous. The first woman I’d like to talk about is Molly Pitcher. Those of you who are familiar with the name may know her as a hero of the American Revo ution. But, in fact, there never was a woman named Molly Pitcher. Her real name was actually Mary Ludwig Hays. She got the nickname Molly Pitcher for her acts of bravery during the Revolutionary War.
As the story goes, when Mary’s—or Molly’s—husband, John Hays, enlisted in the artillery, Mary followed like many other wives did. She helped out doing washing and cooking for the soldiers. She was known to be a pretty unusual woman—she smoked a pipe and chewed tobacco.
Anyway in the summer of 1778, at the Battle of Monmouth, it was a blistering hot day—maybe over a hundred degrees—and fifty soldiers died of thirst during the battle. Molly wasn’t content to stay back at camp. Instead, she ran through gunshots and cannon fire carrying water in pitchers from a small stream out to the thirsty American soldiers. The relief that she brought with her pitchers of water gave her the legendary nickname Molly Pitcher. The story also says that she continued to load and fire her husband’s cannon after he was wounded. They say she was so well liked by the other soldiers that they called her "Sergeant Molly". In fact, legend has it that George Washington himself gave her the special military title.
5. This talk is part of a series on what subject?
6. Why was Mary at the Battle of Monmouth?
7. Why was Mary considered an unusual woman?
8. How did Mary Hays earn her nickname?
选项
A、Famous battles of the American Revolution.
B、Women in American history.
C、Nicknames of famous Americans.
D、Military strategies of the American colonists.
答案
B
解析
这道题需要考生在听时把握住women这个关键词。说话者提到,他们上周讨论了关于妇女在清教徒殖民地的作用,而这次要讨论的是关于其他美国历史上做出过贡献的女性。可见,这段讲话是关于美国历史上的女性这个主题的一系列讲话中的一部分。
