During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women were making signiíícant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.
In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that
A. a woman’s status was changed by marriage
B. even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored
C. only three women were able to get their writing published
D. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women.
Trả lời:
Đáp án B
Theo thông tin bài văn cung cấp, ta thấy: “Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions."
Dịch nghĩa:
“Trong suốt thế kỷ 17 và 18, gần như không có gì được viết về những đóng góp của phụ nữ trong giai đoạn thuộc địa và lịch sử ban đầu của nước Mỹ mới thành lập. Do không có quyền bỏ phiếu và không có mặt tại các vị trí quyền lực, phụ nữ không được coi là một lực lượng quan trọng trong lịch sử. Anne Bradstreet đã viết một số bài thơ quan trọng vào thế kỷ 17, Mercy Otis Warren đã viết cuốn lịch sử đương đại xuất sắc nhất về Cách mạng Mỹ, và Abigail Adams đã viết những bức thư quan trọng thể hiện ảnh hưởng chính trị lớn của bà đối với chồng, John Adams, vị Tổng thống thứ hai của Hoa Kỳ. Nhưng những đóng góp này hầu như không được chú ý đến. Trong suốt các thế kỷ này, phụ nữ vẫn vô hình trong các cuốn sách lịch sử.
Trong suốt thế kỷ 19, sự thiếu hiện diện này vẫn tiếp tục, bất chấp những nỗ lực của các tác giả nữ viết về phụ nữ. Những nhà văn này, giống như hầu hết các đồng nghiệp nam, đều là những nhà sử học nghiệp dư. Những tác phẩm của họ mang tính chất tôn vinh và thiếu sự chọn lọc, đánh giá kỹ lưỡng về các nguồn tài liệu.
Tuy nhiên, trong thế kỷ 19, một số nhà nữ quyền đã cho thấy sự nhận thức sâu sắc về lịch sử bằng cách lưu giữ hồ sơ về các hoạt động mà phụ nữ tham gia. Các tổ chức phụ nữ quốc gia, khu vực và địa phương đã thu thập các tài liệu về những việc họ làm. Thư từ cá nhân, các bài báo và kỷ vật đã được lưu giữ và cất giữ. Những nguồn tài liệu này đã trở thành phần cốt lõi của hai bộ sưu tập lịch sử phụ nữ lớn nhất ở Hoa Kỳ, một tại Thư viện Elizabeth và Arthur Schlesinger ở Trường Radcliffe, và bộ sưu tập còn lại là tại Trường Smith. Những tài liệu này đã cung cấp nguồn tư liệu quý giá cho các thế hệ nhà sử học sau này.
Bất chấp việc thu thập thêm thông tin về những người phụ nữ bình thường trong thế kỷ 19, hầu hết các tác phẩm viết về phụ nữ vẫn tuân theo lý thuyết "những người phụ nữ vĩ đại" trong lịch sử, giống như cách nhiều tác phẩm lịch sử chính thống của Hoa Kỳ tập trung vào "những người đàn ông vĩ đại." Để chứng minh rằng phụ nữ đang đóng góp quan trọng cho đời sống Mỹ, các tác giả nữ đã tập trung vào các nhà lãnh đạo nữ và viết tiểu sử, hoặc những phụ nữ quan trọng đã viết tự truyện của chính họ. Hầu hết những nhà lãnh đạo này đều tham gia vào đời sống công cộng với vai trò là nhà cải cách, nhà hoạt động làm việc cho quyền bầu cử của phụ nữ hoặc là các tác giả, và họ không đại diện cho phần lớn phụ nữ bình thường. Cuộc sống của những người dân thường tiếp tục, và hầu như không được kể đến trong các tác phẩm lịch sử Mỹ được xuất bản.”

Read the followingpassage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects - an estimated 90 percent of the world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
