Projecting the idea of a distinctive female demand in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England was a groundbreaking departure in the history of marketing.
The pioneers were the booksellers and printers who addressed specialist titles to the ladies in the 1600s, while the post-1688 print boom saw the publication of custom-designed ladies’ pocket diaries, a proliferation of female manuals of all kinds, the Female Spectator in the 1740s and the long-running Lady’s Magazine from 1770.
The leap to objects was made when leading furniture makers started classifying furniture by the sex, age, and specialist needs of the implied user in the new illustrated catalogs of the 1760s. Of course, sex distinctions in clothes are as old as civilization, while the idea of furniture suited to female needs is not unprecedented (think of birthing stools), but making difference systematic and concrete by means of word, image, and object was a decisive innovation. The rapid diffusion of ladies’ and gentlemen’s furniture suggests that gender distinctions already resonated powerfully with male and female consumers, but in the extension of the range of differentiated furniture, the projection of the trope by manufacturers thereafter, and its acceptance by consumers, conventional ideas of masculine importance and feminine delicacy were amplified and fixed. In the process, femininity was expressed in a specific and narrowly defined aesthetic register.
Which of the following statements best describes the function of the highlighted sentence in the context of the passage a whole?
选项
A、It mitigates a claim that was presented in the first sentence of the passage.
B、It interprets an example that was introduced in the first sentence of the passage.
C、It provides historical context for the phenomenon that is analyzed in the remainder of the passage.
D、It introduces a distinction between two historical approaches that the remainder of the passage elaborates on.
E、It gives an overview of a historical development that the rest of the passage explores in more detail.
答案
C
解析
所谓historical context指的是与某一发生在过去的事件同一时代的事情,定位句的事件发生时间局限于1600~1770年代,后文中家具进入到迎合女性的时代是1760年代,时间上是符合的,可以认为后文对家具的讨论便是定位句所描述的事件的后续发展。因此选项C正确。A项本题属于功能题,定位句很明显是支持前一句观点的例子,因此选项A的mitigates不对。B项第一句里面没有例子。D项文章后面没有two historical approaches。E项文章之后探索的是家具的性别分类,但是定位句只涉及出版物对女性的迎合,因此定位句不可能总结了后文所探索的历史发展。

一切历史都是现实,现实之外别无历史。所谓“现实之外”同“世界之外”一样,只在纯语言学意义上和逻辑学意义上才有可能。现实之外并不是“非历史”,现实之前也不是“前历史”。我们不能说先有历史后有现实,而只能说有历史就有现实;既不能笼统地说历史先在于现实,也不能抽
