Current feminist theory, in validating women’s own stories of their experience, has encouraged scholars of women’s history to view the use of women’s oral narratives as the methodology, next to the use of women’s written autobiography, that brings historians closest to the "reality" of women’s lives. Such narratives, unlike most standard histories, represent experience from the perspective of women, affirm the importance of women’s contributions, and furnish present-day women with historical continuity that is essential to their identity, individually and collectively.
Scholars of women’s history should, however, be as cautious about accepting oral narratives at face value as they already are about written memories. Oral narratives are no more likely than are written narratives to provide a disinterested commentary on events or people. Moreover, the stories people tell to explain themselves are shaped by narrative devices and storytelling conventions, as well as by other cultural and historical factors, in ways that the storytellers may be unaware of. The political rhetoric of a particular era, for example, may influence women’s interpretations of the significance of their experience. Thus a woman who views the Second World War as pivotal in increasing the social acceptance of women’s paid work outside the home may reach that conclusion partly and unwittingly because of wartime rhetoric encouraging a positive view of women’s participation in such work.
【OG18-P387-452题】
The author of the passage would be most likely to make which of the following recommendations to scholars of women’s history?
从题干中的recommendations可以定位至文章第二段,因为第二段谈及了该方法的缺陷:口头叙述不能客观公允地反映人和事情;受到诸多因素的影响
A错误,与她们自己的生活经历无关
B错误,与intended audience无关
C错误,与对口头叙述中的现象持怀疑态度无关
D正确,该选项中的cultural and historical context符合文中的意思
E错误,文章并没有提到only怎么样
disinterested也有“公正的”的意思。 A -- 文章没有提出学者应该将个人经历融入其中的建议; B -- 文章还是比较认可oral narrative的价值的,所以B错; C -- 学者应该估计historical influence,而不是因为符合历史就接受; D -- 正确,文章建议学者be more critical about cultural and historical factors。 E -- 错误,文中没有提到过此建议。
与主旨贴近 与重心贴近 与作者的concern的反面贴近

记得不要把自己的主观看法带入阅读题!!!
此题是个演绎题,但其实不难,它的意思是建议学者怎么做,那就从缺点找起。原文提出了口头叙述的缺点,一是评价不客观,二是太多修饰容易受其他文化和历史因素的影响,选项的建议涉及到这些即可
