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.



我選B:In order to bolster her thesis, the historian adopted the
anthropological perspective on personhood.

the historian採用的觀點不是向人類學家靠近了嗎?
B不對的原因是在on personhood?
是不是因為人類學家強調的是以"社會"的觀點看待歷史
而不是以"個人"的概念?
所以錯


當初不選正確答案E的原因
就是因為題目問"infer"
我覺得文章中很清楚的說明the historian 和 historains 抱持著不同的看法,所以不是infer,而是direct information

是不是我搞不清infer 題型?

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.

上面就可以知道說 大多歷史家的研究相反 某個歷史家的假設
所以E.The interpretation of Alessandra’s actions that the historian
puts forward is not supported by much of the historian’s
research.是從上段去推說某個歷史家對於Ａ得研究解釋並不被大多歷史家接受.
Ｂ.寫相反了..某個歷史家研究A並不是為了支持,而是剛好接近于人類學家的觀念而已.可以從下段看出
Thus Alessandra conforms
more closely to the anthropologist’s
notion that personal motivation is
embedded in a social context.粗略翻譯:因此那個A是比較遵從于人類學家的觀點.
