passages followed by multiple-choice questions.Readthe passages and then mark your answers on you answer sheetPassage AStudents of United States history,seeking to identify the circumstances that encouragedthe emergence of feminist movements,have thoroughly investigated themid-nineteenth-century American economic and social conditions that affected the status ofwomen.These historians,however,have analyzed less fully the development of specificallyfeminist ideas and activities during the same period.Furthermore,the ideological origins offeminism in the United States have been obscured because,even when historians did take intoaccount those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States,they failed torecognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe.第3页共9页American feminist activists who have been described as solitary and individual theoristswere in reality connected to a movement-utopian socialism-which was already popularizingfeminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated in the first womens rightsconference held at Seneca Falls,New York,in 1848.Thus,a complete understanding of theorigins and development of nineteenth-century feminism in the United States requires that thegeographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study already made ofsocial conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism.The earliest and most popular of the utopian socialists were the Saint-Simonians.Thespecifically feminist part of Saint-Simonianism has,however,been less studied than thegroups contribution to early socialism.This is regrettable on two counts.By 1832 feminismwas the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed its adherents energy;hence,by ignoring its feminism.European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism.Moreover,since many feminist ideas can be traced to Saint-Simonianism,European historiansappreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited.Saint-Simons followers,many of whom were women,based their feminism on aninterpretation of his project to reorganize the globe by replacing brute force with the rule ofspiritual powers.The new world order would be ruled together by a male,to representreflection,and a female,to represent sentiment.This complementarity reflects the fact that,while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that there were innate differences betweenmen and women,they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role forboth sexes in their Utopia.Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on genderdistinction.This minority believed that individuals of both sexes were born similar in capacityand character,and they ascribed male-female differences to socialization and education.Theenvisioned result of both currents of thought,however,was that women would enter public lifein the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improvedway of life.1.It can be inferred that the author considers those historians who describe early feminists inthe United States as solitary to beA.insufficiently familiar with the international origins of nineteenth-century AmericanfeministthoughtB.overly concerned with the regional diversity of feminist ideas in the period before 1848C.not focused narrowly enough in their geo-graphical scopeD.insufficiently aware of the ideological consequences of the Seneca Falls conference2.According to the passage,which of the following is true of the Seneca Falls conference onwomens rights?A.It was primarily a product of nineteenth-century Saint-Simonian feminist thought.B.It was the work of American activists who were independent of feminists abroad.第4页共9页C.It was the culminating achievement of the Utopian socialist movement.D.It was a manifestation of an international movement for social change and feminism3.The authors attitude toward most European historians who have studied the Saint-Simoniansis primarily one ofA.approval of the specific focus of their researchB.disapproval of their lack of attention to the issue that absorbed most of theSaint-Simoniansenergy after 1832C.approval of their general focus on social conditionsD.disapproval of their lack of attention to links between the Saint-Simonians and theirAmerican counterparts4.It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that study of Saint-Simonianismis necessary for historians of American feminism because such studyA.would clarify the ideological origins of those feminist ideas that influenced AmericanfeminismB.would increase understanding of a movement that deeply influenced the Utopiansocialism of early American feministsC.would focus attention on the most important aspect of Saint-Simonian thought before1832D.promises to offer insight into a movement that was a direct outgrowth of the Seneca Fallsconference of18485.According to the passage,which of the following would be the most accurate description ofthe society envisioned by most Saint-Simonians?A.A society in which women were highly regarded for their extensive education.B.A society in which the two genders played complementary roles and had equal statusC.A society in which women did not enter public life.D.A social order in which a body of men and women would rule together on the basis oftheir spiritual power.Passage BThe mythology of a culture can provide some vital insights into the beliefs and values ofthat culture.By using fantastic and sometimes incredible stories to create an oral tradition bywhich to explain the wonders of the natural world and teach lessons to younger generations,asociety exposes those ideas and concepts held most important.Just as important as the finallesson to be gathered from the stories,however,are the characters and the roles they play inconveying that message.Perhaps the epitome of mythology and its use as a tool to pass on cultural values can befound in Aesops Fables,told and retold during the era of the Greek Empire.Aesop,a slave whowon the favor of the court through his imaginative and descriptive tales,almost exclusivelyused animals to fill the roles in his short stories.Humans,when at all present,almost always第5页共9页played the part of bumbling fools struggling to learn the lesson being presented.This choice ofcharacterization allows us to see that the Greeks placed wisdom on a level slightly beyondhumans,implying that deep wisdom and understanding is a universal quality sought by,ratherthan steaming from,human beings.Aesops fables illustrated the central themes of humility and self-reliance,reflecting theimportance of those traits in early Greek society.The folly of humans was used to contrastagainst the ultimate goal of attaining a higher level of understanding and awareness of truthsabout nature and humanity.For example,one notable fable features a fox repeatedly trying toreach a bunch of grapes on a very high vine.After failing at several attempts,the fox gives up,making up its mind that the grapes were probably sour anyway.The fables lesson,that weoften play down that which we cant achieve so as to make ourselves feel better,teaches thereader or listener in an entertaining way about one of the weaknesses of the human psyche.The mythology of other cultures and societies reveal the underlying traits of their respectivecultures just as Aesops fables did.The stories of Roman gods,Aztec ghosts and Europeanelves all served to train ancient generations those lessons considered most important to theircommunity,and today they offer a powerful looking glass by which to evaluate and considerthe contextual environment in which those culture existed.6.The author appears to view fables asA.the most interesting and valuable form of mythologyB.entertaining yet serious subjects of studyC.a remnant tool of past civilizations,but not often used in the modern ageD.the primary method by which ancient values and ideas were transmitted betweengenerations7.The way that fables were used in the past is most similar to todaysA.fairy tales that entertain children at homeB.stories in childrens school textbooks that reinforce the lessonC.science documentaries that explain how nature worksD.movies that depict animals as having human characteristics8.The main purpose of paragraph 3 is toA.examine how one of Aesops fables sheds light on certain facets of Greek beliefB.dissect one of Aesops fables in order to study the elements that make up GreekmythologyC.learn from the lesson presented in one of Aesops most well-known fablesD.illustrate a fable typical of Aesops style,so as to examine how one goes about studyingthe meaning behind it9.The author names the Roman,Aztec and European cultures in order toA.identify other cultures in which fables were the primary method by which to pass ontraditions and values第6页共9页
