Writing about nineteenth-century women’s travel writing, Lila Harper notes that the four women she discussed used their own names, in contrast with the nineteenth-century female novelists who either published anonymously or used male pseudonyms. The novelists doubtless realized that they were breaking boundaries, whereas three of the four daring, solitary travelers espoused traditional values, eschewing radicalism and women’s movements. Whereas the female novelist criticized their society, the female travelers seemed content to leave society as it was while accomplishing their own liberation. In other words, they lived a contradiction. For the subjects of Harper’s study, solitude in both the private and public spheres prevailed—a solitude that conferred authority, hitherto a male prerogative, but that also precluded any collective action or female solidarity.
Which of the following best characterizes the “contradiction” that the author refers to?
选项
A、The subjects of Harper’s study enjoyed solitude, and yet as travelers they were often among people.
B、Nineteenth-century travel writers used their own names, but nineteenth-century novelists used pseudonyms.
C、Women’s movements in the nineteenth-century were not very radical in comparison with those of the twentieth-century.
D、Nineteenth-century female novelists thought they were breaking boundaries, but it was the nineteenth-century women who traveled alone who were really doing so.
E、While traveling alone in the nineteenth-century was considered a radical act for a woman, the nineteenth-century solitary female travelers generally held conventional views.
答案
E/A
解析
细节题。首先定位原文,在文中第四句话,关键信息提示是in other words换言之,说明contradiction在前文一定有所体现,而且这里的they指代女性旅行者。而女性旅行者的矛盾就在于,一方面她们大胆地进行旅行,对应文中的accomplishing their own liberation,而另一方面她们又避免激进,拥护传统,对应文中的espoused traditional values。其他旅行者和小说家之间的对比选项都是错误的,其关键原因就在于they的对应不准确。
