Passage One
In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement, historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods. Although much has been accomplished for the modern period, premodern cultures have proved more difficult: sources are restricted in number, fragmentary, difficult to interpret, and often contradictory. Thus it is not particularly surprising that some earlier scholarship concerning such cultures has so far gone unchallenged. An example is Johanna Bachofen’s 1861 treatise on Amazons, women-ruled societies of questionable existence contemporary with ancient Greece.,
Starting from the premise that mythology and legend preserve at least a nucleus of historical fact, Bachofen argued tha
A. compare competing new approaches to understanding the role of women in ancient societies
B. investigate Bachofen’s theory about the dominance of women in ancient societies
C. analyze the nature of Amazonian society and uncover similarities between it and the Greek
D. criticize the value of ancient myths in determining the status of women in ancient societies

This concern is one of the most characteristic differences between Scholasticism and modern thought since the Renaissance.
The basic aim of the Scholastics determined certain common attitudes, the most important of which was their conviction of the fundamental harmony between reason and revelation. The S
A. stopped completely
B. slowed down
C. advanced rapidly

| Because agriculture is so important to
a nation’s well-being, governments have always been concerned with it. For
example, the United States and Canada have long produced surpluses that
complicate their economies. Surpluses tend to lower prices to farmers and
seriously endanger the agriculture industry. Governments have instituted systems
of price supports to maintain a fair price when surpluses cause prices to drop.
The system in the United States is a good example. A government program supports
the prices paid to farmers for grains, and other agricultural
products. Support prices are based on parity, which is the ratio between the prices farmers receive for their A. they throw the country into great disorder B. they entail more expenditure on the part of the government C. they usually involve direct governmental support price D. the government has to set up special pricing systems 我来回答: 提交
