这道题选了E，觉得有问题，但时间有限，就对付了一下。 我的确看到这句话了， however, while these students accept multiple points of view, they are unable to evaluate or justify them 就是说人们不能评价，这个观点，但C说的是关系relationship，关系和评价还是有区别的，所以就排除了C，一上来就把答案排除了。

1 ACD以排除，在BE中犹豫，一犹豫就错了，误选B 2 最后一个阶段commitment，没有说capital punishment的事，果断把它排除了。 应选E

rc main idea总是做不好....

刚开始我根据Socialists'commitment to the cost-of-living 定位到原文第二段第三句，但题目是问author,我又往下看了一句（while some...)然后就去看选项了，发现没什么好选的，就很牵强的选了个A， 可是答案是D 应该是我定位有问题，请老师指教 The author suggests which of the following about the New York Socialists'commitment to the cost-of-living movement? In mid-February 1917 a women's movement independent of political affiliation erupted in Line New York City, the stronghold of the Socialist party in the United states. Protesting against the high cost of living, thousands of women refused to buy chickens, fish, and vegetables. The boycott shut down much of the City's foodstuffs marketing for two weeks, riveting public attention on the issue of food prices, which had increased partly as a result of increased exports of food to Europe that had been occurring since the outbreak of the First World War. By early 1917 the Socialist party had established itself as a major political presence in New York City. New York Socialists, whose customary spheres of struggle were electoral work and trade union organizing, seized the opportunity and quickly organized an extensive series of cost-of-living protests designed to direct the women's movement toward Socialist goals. Underneath the Socialists' brief commitment to cost-of-living organizing lay a basic indifference to the issue itself. While some Socialists did view price protests as a direct step toward socialism, most Socialists ultimately sought to divert the cost-of-living movement into alternative channels of protest. Union organizing, they argued, was the best method through which to combat the high cost of living. For others, cost-of-living or oganizing was valuable insofar as it led women into the struggle for suffrage, and similarly, the suffrage struggle was valuable insofar as it moved United States society one step closer to socialism. Although New York's Socialists saw the cost-of-living issue as, at best ,secondary or tertiary to the real task at hand, the boycotters, by sharp contrast, joined the price protest movement out of an urgent and deeply felt commitment to the cost-of-living issue. A shared experience of swiftly declining living standards caused by rising food prices drove these women to protest. Consumer organizing spoke directly to their daily lives and concerns; they saw cheaper food as a valuable end in itself. Food price protests were these women's way of organizing at their own workplace, as workers whose occupation was shopping and preparing food for their families. A It lasted for a relatively short period of time. B It was stronger than their commitment to the Suffrage struggle. C It predated the cost-of-living protests that Erupted in 1917. D It coincided with their attempts to bring more Women into union organizing. E It explained the popularity of the Socialist party in New York City.

为啥D不好？

无头绪。。。

不明白CDE怎么排出的，为什么regardless of their form and fuction只能修饰主语呢？

不知道BCD怎么区分，也不知道what后面加it 和不加it的区别
