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.
The "new scholarship" mentioned in the first paragraph suggests which of the following concerning the "promises" mentioned in lines 4-5?
选项
A、Failure to keep these promises is not a measure of the success of the suffrage movement.
B、Failure to keep these promises caused the feminist movement to lose cohesiveness during the 1920s.
C、Failure to keep these promises led recent feminist scholars to reevaluate the success of the suffrage movement.
D、These promises included securing for women the right to hold office and the right to serve on juries.
E、These promises were of little importance in winning suffrage for women.
答案
A
解析
The passage indicates that new scholarship disputed a long-held view that because certain promises of the women’s suffrage movement— e.g., that a women’s voting bloc would form; that the women’s vote would bring about moral, corruption-free governance—went unkept, the movement was a failure. This scholarship rejected the view that unkept "promises" suggested a failure of the movement.
A Correct. As indicated above, the new scholarship rejected the notion that the failure to keep these promises was a reasonable measure of the success or failure of the suffrage movement.
B The second paragraph of the passage explains the new scholarships view that the feminist movement lost its cohesiveness in the 1920s. However, there is no suggestion that a failure to keep the promises of the suffrage movement was actually a cause of this.
C The new scholarship reevaluated the success of the suffrage movement. However, this scholarship did not suggest that it did so because the suffrage movement failed to keep its promises.
D There is nothing in the passage to indicate that the new scholarship suggests that these promises include securing the right to hold office and the right to serve on juries for women.
E There is nothing in the passage to suggest either that the promises were of little importance in winning suffrage for women or even that this new scholarship believed that they were.
The correct answer is A.
