Two works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women. Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish (1736-1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status on the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women’s status, only Lebsock’s deals with it directly. She examines several different aspects of women’s status, helping to refine and resolve the issues. She concludes that while women gained autonomy in some areas, especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example. In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.
关键词supervision of schools ,定位到More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men.
supervising schools是女人跟男人比起来,不能做的工作,而这个比较是去解释说明 冒号前面那个观点的,即是说debate本身要建立在谁是参照物的基础之上
选项A the role education played in the cultural changes层次未提及
选项B relatively free与层次意思不符
选项c accurate data about women’s participation are difficult to obtain层次未提及
选项D considered suitable与层次意思不符
选项E 正确
解题关键就是要理解“depend on reference of frame”的意思,我理解错了,结果用排除法全排了没有选项,选了B,可是B根本就没有根据…

定位句子: More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. 我错选了B,用时188S,时间较长。 理解:supervising schools是一个women lost power in relation to men的例子。用来说明the debate itself depends on frame of reference。需要理解句子结构。我的选项只是原文的字面意义的解释。不合理。应当看到这个句子所要表达的实质。就是说“我想说这个对frame的依赖,然后我要举例:XX supervising schools” 对于我没有把握到重点这件事,我觉得我可能道行实在不够深。加油!!!
depend on particular contexts就是depends on frame of reference的同义改写~!
