文章：
The professionalization of the study of history in the second half of the nineteenth century, including history's transformation from a literary genre to a scientific discipline, had important consequences not only for historians' perceptions of women but also for women as historians. The disappearance of women as objects of historical studies during this period has elements of irony to it. On the one hand, in writing about women, earlier historians had relied not on firsthand sources but rather on secondary sources; the shift to more rigorous research methods required that secondary sources be disregarded. On the other hand, the development of archival research and the critical editing of collections of documents began to reveal significant new historical evidence concerning women, yet this evidence was perceived as substantially irrelevant: historians saw political history as the general framework for historical writing. Because women were seen as belonging to the private rather than to the public sphere, the discovery of documents about them, or by them, did not, by itself, produce history acknowledging the contributions of women. In addition, genres such as biography and memoir, those forms of "particular history" that women had traditionally authored, fell into disrepute. The dividing line between "particular history" and general history was redefined in stronger terms, widening the gulf between amateur and professional practices of historical research.
题目：
Which of the following best describes one of the "elements of irony" referred to in the highlighted text?
选项:
A、Although the more scientific-minded historians of the second half of the nineteenth century considered women appropriate subjects for historical writing, earlier historians did not.
B、Although archival research uncovered documentary evidence of women's role in history, historians continued to rely on secondary sources for information about women.
C、Although historians were primarily concerned with writing about the public sphere, they generally relegated women to the private sphere.
D、The scientific approach to history revealed more information about women, but that information was ignored.
E、The professionalization of history, while marginalizing much of women's writing about history, enhanced the importance of women as historical subjects.
答案:
D

这篇文章题库找不到,请张慧雯老师帮助解答!文章如下:
In Forces of Production, David Noble examines the transformation of the machine-tool industry as the industry moved from reliance on skilled artisans to automation. Noble writes from a Marxist perspective, and his central argument is that management, in its decisions to automate, conspired against labor: the power that the skilled machinists wielded in the industry was intolerable to management. Noble fails to substantiate this claim, although his argument is impressive when he applies the Marxist concept of "de-skilling"-the use of technology to replace skilled the automation of the machine-tool industry. In automating, the industry moved to computer-based, digitalized "numerical control" (N/C) technology, rather than to artisan generated "record-playback" (R/P) technology.
Although both systems reduced reliance on skilled labor, Noble clearly prefers R/P, with its inherent acknowledgment of workers` skills: unlike N/C, its programs were produced not by engineers at their computers, but by skilled machinists, who recorded their own movements to "teach" machines to duplicate those movements. However, Noble's only evidence of conspiracy is that, although the two approaches were roughly equal in technical merit, management chose N/C. From this he concludes that automation is undertaken not because efficiency demands it or scientific advances allow it. but because it is a tool in the ceaseless war of capitalists against labor.
题目：
The author of the passage commends Noble's book for which of the following?
A Concentrating on skilled as opposed to unskilled workers in its discussion of the machine-tool industry
B Offering a generalization about the motives behind the machine-tool industry/`s decision to automate
C Making an essential distinction between two kinds of technology employed in the machine-tool industry
D Calling into question the notion that managers conspired against labor in the automation of the machine-tool industry
E Applying the concept of de-skilling to the machine-tool industry
问的是作者处于以下什么原因赞扬了N写的书。
由于问的是作者的态度，根据原文的逻辑：第一段的N提出了观点，但是没有证实。第二段N给出了证实观点的一个only evidnece. 我直接定位到了第二段however那里,然后5个选项都没法选选了个最相关的C.主要是文章中并没有什么地方说到了作者对N的书有过称赞,我没有想到会定位到第一段. 请求这道题目的做题思路

提问：
A和D无法区分，问题大概问elements of irony指的具体是什么，我就读了黄体这一句话，因为往后都是往细说得，然后发现从disappearance of women as objects可以看出大概因为没把女性作为考虑对象之类的，看选项留下了A和D，D我读得意思是发现了更多证据但被忽略了，A是没考虑女性，觉得A更沾边就选了A，review的时候再看觉得可能是因为原文说得是this period而A说得是earlier historians范围错了？请问老师这个题目是不是我定位错了？谢谢老师
