问题 The passage is primarily concerned with evaluating______
The passage suggests which of the following about Nightingale’s relationship with the British public of her day?

选项 A、She was highly respected, her projects receiving popular and governmental support.
B、She encountered resistance both from the army establishment and the general public.
C、She was supported by the working classes and opposed by the wealthier classes.
D、She was supported by the military establishment but had to fight the governmental bureaucracy.
E、After intially being received with enthusiams, she was quickly forgotten.

答案A

解析 To answer this question, you must use information contained in the passage to infer something about Nightingale’s relationship with the British public of her day. The best answer is A. Line 5 refers to Nightingale’s “heroic reputation”; line 14 refers to “nightingale’s place in the national pantheon”; and lines 25-28 discuss her persuasiveness with the British government and her fund-raising successes. From this information it can be inferred that Nightingagle was highly respected, as evidenced by both popular and governmental support for her projects. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect for the same reason: each one refers to an element of social or governmental opposition or resistance to Nightingale’s ideas, none of which is mentioned or suggested by the passage. Choice E is also incorrect. The information in the passage contradicts the notion that Nightingale was “quickly forgotten.” To the contrary, the passage discusses the “famous British nurse Florence Nightingale” (line 2-3), her “heroic reputation” (line 5), and her “place in the national pantheon” (line 14), as well as her “eminent place among the ranks of social pioneers” (lines 43-44).
