问题 The primary purpose of the passage is to______
The passage suggests which of the following concerning the techniques used by the new political historians described in the first paragraph of the passage?
选项 A、They involved the extensive use of the biographies of political party leaders and political theoreticians.
B、They were conceived by political historians who were reacting against the political climates of the 1960s and 1970s
C、They were of more use in analyzing the positions of United States political parties in the nineteenth century than in analyzing the positions of those in the twentieth century.
D、They were of more use in naalyzing the policial behavior of nineteenth-century voters than in nalyzing the political activities of those who could not vote during that period.
E、They were devised as a means of tracing the influence of nineteenth-century political trends on twentieth-century political trends.
答案D
解析 The best answer is D. Lines 6-11 provide an example of the techniques used by the new political historians-quantitative analyses of election returns-and state that these techniques were unsuited for analyzing the political activities of women, who could not vote in the nineteenth century. This suggests that, in general, the techniques used by these historians were of more use in analyzing the political behavior of nineteenth-century voters than in analyzing the political activities of those who could not vote during that period. Choice A can be eliminated because the first sentence of the passage states that the new historians sought to go beyond a focus on leaders. There is no information in the passage to support B, C, or E.
