Recent feminist scholarship concerning the United States in the 1920s challenges earlier interpretations that assessed the 1920s in terms of the unkept "promises" of the women’s suffrage movement. This new scholarship disputes the long-held view that because a women’s voting bloc did not materialize after women gained the right to vote in 1920, suffrage failed to produce long-term political gains for women. These feminist scholars also challenge the old view that pronounced suffrage a failure for not delivering on the promise that the women’s vote would bring about moral, corruption-free governance. Asked whether women’s suffrage was a failure, these scholars cite the words of turn-of-the-century social reformer Jane Addams, "Why don’t you ask if suffrage in general is failing?"
In some ways, however, these scholars still present the 1920s as a period of decline. After suffrage, they argue, the feminist movement lost its cohesiveness, and gender consciousness waned. After the mid-1920s, few successes could be claimed by feminist reformers: little could be seen in the way of legislative victories.
During this decade, however, there was intense activism aimed at achieving increased autonomy for women, broadening the spheres within which they lived their daily lives. Women’s organizations worked to establish opportunities for women: they strove to secure for women the full entitlements of citizenship, including the right to hold office and the right to serve on juries.
It can be inferred that the author of the passage disagrees with the "new scholarship" mentioned in line 5 regarding the
选项
A、degree to which the "promises" of the suffrage movement remained unkept
B、degree to which suffrage for women improved the morality of governance
C、degree to which the 1920s represented a period of decline for the feminist movement
D、degree of legislative success achieved by feminist reformers during the 1920s
E、accuracy of the view that a women’s voting bloc did not materialize once suffrage was achieved
答案
C
解析
In the final paragraph of the passage, the author offers several points to counter the claim made by the new scholarship that the 1920s were still, in some ways, a period of decline.
A Both the author and this new scholarship question the claims of the earlier interpretation that the "promises" of the women’s suffrage movement were unkept.
B There is no indication of agreement or disagreement between the author of the passage and this new scholarship about how much women improved the morality of governance in the 1920s.
C Correct. In the final paragraph, the author gives a counterpoint to the claim of the new scholarship that the 1920s, in some ways, represented a period of decline for the feminist movement.
D Nothing in the passage supports the claim that the author disagrees with the new scholarship regarding the degree of legislative success achieved by feminist reformers. Note that none of the achievements discussed in the final paragraph are indicated to be legislative successes.
E While the author of the passage mentions the new scholarship’s claim that a women’s voting bloc failed to materialize once suffrage was achieved, the author does not explicitly disagree with this statement.
The correct answer is C.
