文章：
| Line | Jacob Burckhardt’s view that Renaissance |
| European women “stood on a footing of perfect | |
| equality” with Renaissance men has been repeatedly | |
| cited by feminist scholars as a prelude to their | |
| (5) | presentation of rich historical evidence of women’s |
| inequality. In striking contrast to Burckhardt, Joan | |
| Kelly in her famous 1977 essay, “Did Women Have | |
| a Renaissance?” argued that the Renaissance was | |
| a period of economic and social decline for women | |
| (10) | relative both to Renaissance men and to medieval |
| women. Recently, however, a significant trend | |
| among feminist scholars has entailed a rejection | |
| of both Kelly’s dark vision of the Renaissance and | |
| Burckhardt’s rosy one. Many recent works by these | |
| (15) | scholars stress the ways in which differences |
| among Renaissance women—especially in terms | |
| of social status and religion—work to complicate | |
| the kinds of generalizations both Burckhardt and | |
| Kelly made on the basis of their observations about | |
| (20) | upper-class Italian women. |
| The trend is also evident, however, in works | |
| focusing on those middle- and upper-class | |
| European women whose ability to write gives them | |
| disproportionate representation in the historical | |
| (25) | record. Such women were, simply by virtue of |
| their literacy, members of a tiny minority of the | |
| population, so it is risky to take their descriptions of | |
| their experiences as typical of “female experience” | |
| in any general sense. Tina Krontiris, for example, in | |
| (30) | her fascinating study of six Renaissance women |
| writers, does tend at times to conflate “women” and | |
| “women writers,” assuming that women’s gender, | |
| irrespective of other social differences, including | |
| literacy, allows us to view women as a homogeneous | |
| (35) | social group and make that group an object of |
| analysis. Nonetheless, Krontiris makes a significant | |
| contribution to the field and is representative of | |
| those authors who offer what might be called a | |
| cautiously optimistic assessment of Renaissance | |
| (40) | women’s achievements, although she also stresses |
| the social obstacles Renaissance women faced | |
| when they sought to raise their “oppositional | |
| voices.” Krontiris is concerned to show women | |
| intentionally negotiating some power for themselves | |
| (45) | (at least in the realm of public discourse) against |
| potentially constraining ideologies, but in her sober | |
| and thoughtful concluding remarks, she suggests | |
| that such verbal opposition to cultural stereotypes | |
| was highly circumscribed; women seldom attacked | |
| (50) | the basic assumptions in the ideologies that |
| oppressed them. |
题目：
The last sentence in the passage serves primarily to
选项:
A、suggest that Krontiris’s work is not representative of recent trends among feminist scholars
B、undermine the argument that literate women of the Renaissance sought to oppose social constraints imposed on them
C、show a way in which Krontiris’s work illustrates a “cautiously optimistic” assessment of Renaissance women’s achievements
D、summarize Krontiris’s view of the effect of literacy on the lives of upper- and middle-class Renaissance women
E、illustrate the way in which Krontiris’s study differs from the studies done by Burckhardt and Kelly
答案:
C

请王文静老师回答：这题是细节题，我只排除了A B，如果往主旨上靠的话我选了E，因为K是作为第二段观点的举例，而这个观点提到的this trend又是第一段里面的被驳斥观点。但D也出现过，然后就不知道该怎么选了……请问这种细节题只需要定位前后一句吗？答案不会出现离得比较远的地方吗？
