JJ大牛說:

1）文藝復興時期婦女的地位是否改變？G說沒有，他考慮到一段時期婦女面對的環境並
沒有改善，（來自家庭社會等）。此時，另外一人認為實際上婦女在很多方面的地位
有了改善，比如他們能更自由的表達自己的觀點，這從當時一些婦女寫的書可以看出來。

問：1，主題。（針對某一時期的情況的討論什麼的）
    2，第2個人認為哪個方面得到改善。（直接定位，好象是什麼self expression)

文 v      藝復興時期的婦女地位GWD-3-Q35-37
第四篇閱讀：做道這篇我就知道壞了，只有整屏的4分之3。可我還是不願相信自己就
這麼失敗了……考慮文藝復興時期的女性，有個女人的研究成果說她們的經濟，政治，
xxx地位都沒有提高（這個地方有個except題），這是從meddle age開始continuing到
復興時期的。有主旨題。

Q35 to Q37:
      Historians who study European
        women of the Renaissance try to mea-
        sure “independence,” “options,” and
Line    other indicators of the degree to which
  (5)   the expression of women’s individuality
was either permitted or suppressed.
Influenced by Western individualism,
these historians define a peculiar form
of personhood:  an innately bounded
 (10)   unit, autonomous and standing apart
from both nature and society.  An
anthropologist, however, would contend
that a person can be conceived in ways
other than as an “individual.”  In many
 (15)   societies a person’s identity is not
intrinsically unique and self-contained
but instead is defined within a complex
web of social relationships.
      In her study of the fifteenth-century
 (20)   Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a
historian who specializes in European
women of the Renaissance attributes
individual intention and authorship of
        actions to her subject.  This historian
 (25)   assumes that Alessandra had goals
and interests different from those of her
sons, yet much of the historian’s own
research reveals that Alessandra
acted primarily as a champion of her
 (30)   sons’ interests, taking their goals as
her own.  Thus Alessandra conforms
more closely to the anthropologist’s
        notion that personal motivation is
embedded in a social context.  Indeed,
 (35)   one could argue that Alessandra did
        not distinguish her personhood from
that of her sons.  In Renaissance
Europe the boundaries of the con-
ceptual self were not always firm
 (40)   and closed and did not necessarily
coincide with the boundaries of
the bodily self.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q35:
The passage suggests that the historian mentioned in the second paragraph
(lines 19-42) would be most likely to agree with which of the following
assertions regarding Alessandra Strozzi?

A.      Alessandra was able to act more independently than most women of
        her time because she was a widow.
B.      Alessandra was aware that her personal motivation was embedded in
        a social context.
C.      Alessandra had goals and interests similar to those of many other
        widows in her society.
D.      Alessandra is an example of a Renaissance woman who expressed her
        individuality through independent action.
E.      Alessandra was exceptional because she was able to effect changes
        in the social constraints placed upon women in her society.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q36:
It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes which of the
following about the study of Alessandra Strozzi done by the historian
mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42)?

A.      Alessandra was atypical of her time and was therefore an
        inappropriate choice for the subject of the historian’s research.
B.      In order to bolster her thesis, the historian adopted the
        anthropological perspective on personhood.
C.      The historian argues that the boundaries of the conceptual self
        were not always firm and closed in Renaissance Europe.
D.      In her study, the historian reverts to a traditional approach that
        is out of step with the work of other historians of Renaissance Europe.
E.      The interpretation of Alessandra’s actions that the historian puts
         forward is not supported by much of the historian’s research.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q37:
In the first paragraph, the author of the passage mentions a contention
 that would be made by an anthropologist most likely in order to

A.      present a theory that will be undermined in the discussion of a
        historian’s study later in the passage
B.      offer a perspective on the concept of personhood that can usefully
        be applied to the study of women in Renaissance Europe
C.      undermine the view that the individuality of European women of the
        Renaissance was largely suppressed
D.      argue that anthropologists have applied the Western concept of
        individualism in their research
E.      lay the groundwork for the conclusion that Alessandra’s is a
        unique case among European women of the Renaissance whose lives
        have been studied by historians

Version 2

此外還考了“文藝復興時期婦女的處境”，先說某學者是第一個強調那時婦女的處境
很大程度上只是中世紀狀態的延續，再說另一個學者的不同論點
Version 3
p1: 先舉了一個人的觀點，然後又舉了另一個人的觀點反對前一個人，然後feminie
sociologist認為這兩個人的觀點都不對
p2: 說為了解決這個問題，討論中世紀時期女性地位，具體沒太看懂。。。
p3: 舉了一個K的例子，說她研究文藝復興時期女性的書信，並把他們分成兩組，然後
得出了什麼什麼結論，但是這個結論也有不對的地方（最後一句話）
其中一道題是關於整個第三段的，具體忘了，還有一個題問K和其他研究者的研究方法
有什麼不同，還有一個問K研究的女性是什麼樣的女性。。這篇重點在第三段，問題幾乎
都是圍繞這個K出的
Version 4
一位M作家很寫實的描述當時女性的生活，物質生活似乎很壓抑，但後來又出來一位學者
說：這個M作家缺少了某些觀點，談到了一些精神層面的問題
Version 5
GWD-3-Q35-37文藝復興婦女的獨立性題。連同題目exactly一致。看到時很開心。
Version 6
GWD題。文藝復興時期女性個人獨立的研究，一個叫阿裏桑德拉的女性把她兒子的目標當
成自己的目標的那篇文章。但是有一題是GWD裏沒有的題。
Version 7
GWD 3 -Q 35-37, 關於widow的文章。第一題問的角度不一樣，不過選項一樣；其他三題
完全一樣
 Version 8
GWD 文藝復興寡婦那一道，題目有所改動，是四道。一道主題題，三道細節題，主要是
問第二段的細節。不難。
Version 9
文藝復興時期女性個人獨立的研究，一個叫阿裏桑德拉的女性把她兒子的目標當成自己
的目標的那篇文章。但是有一題是GWD裏沒有的題。
Version 10
關於義大利工業革命時期（還是文藝復興還是別的）女人的社會地位
Paragraph 1: 某個人說這個時期的the very opportunities for men 損害了女性的
機會。後來作者說這個理論based on prescriptive rather descriptive materials。
就是這個人用了當時的literates的一些文章，可是這些這是一小部分人的想法，不一定
就能代表群眾。

Paragraph 2: 作者提出了另外一個人的理論，which contradicts with the former
one。說當時女性就業率的提高至少讓社會知道了女人除了能當家務以外還可以給家裏
提供financial input。這樣起碼提高了她們在社會的認同與地位。（大意如此，細節
你們到時候好好看看）

閱讀三說，以前大家都以為中世紀的婦女已經可以像男人一樣很自由的表達自己的思想
或者擁有政治權力了，但是跳出來一個歷史學家XX說，不，她們仍然在很多方面受到限制
，然後舉例說怎麼怎麼樣。後來又跳出來一群人說，不，XX fails to take into account
 of 。。。我記得一個很關鍵的詞，self-expression，也是機經裏的題目了。
