12、e signi-(5) ficance of the woman suffrage movement. These histor-ians contend that nineteenth-century suffragism was less radical and, hence, less important than, for example, the moral reform movement or domestic feminismtwo nineteenth-century movements in which women strug-(10)gled for more power
13、and autonomy within the family. True, by emphasizing these struggles, such historians have broadened the conventional view of nineteenth-century feminism, but they do a historical disservice to suffragism. Nineteenth-century feminists and anti-(15)feminist alike perceived the suffragists demand for
14、enfranchisement as the most radical element in womens protest, in part because suffragists were demandingpower that was not based on the institution of the family, womens traditional sphere. When evaluating (20)nineteenth-century feminism as a social force, contem-porary historians should consider t
15、he perceptions of actual participants in the historical events.17.The author asserts that the historians discussed in the passage have(A) influenced feminist theorists who concentrate on the family(B) honored the perceptions of the women who participated in the women suffrage movement (C) treated fe
16、minism as a social force rather than as an intellectual tradition(D) paid little attention to feminist movements(E) expanded the conventional view of nineteenth-century feminism18.The author of the passage asserts that some twentieth-century feminists have influenced some historians view of the (A)
17、significance of the woman suffrage movement (B) importance to society of the family as an institution(C) degree to which feminism changed nineteenth-century society(D) philosophical traditions on which contemporary feminism is based (E) public response to domestic feminism in the nineteenth century
18、19.The author of the passage suggests that which of the following was true of nineteenth-century feminists?(A) Those who participated in the moral reform movement were motivated primarily by a desire to reconcile their private lives with their public positions.(B) Those who advocated domestic femini
19、sm, although less visible than the suffragists, were in some ways the more radical of the two groups.(C) Those who participated in the woman suffrage movement sought social roles for women that were not defined by womens familial roles. (D) Those who advocated domestic feminism regarded the gaining
20、of more autonomy within the family as a step toward more participation in public life.(E) Those who participated in the nineteenth-century moral reform movement stood midway between the positions of domestic feminism and suffragism.20.The author implies that which of the following is true of the his
21、torians discussed in the passage?(A) They argue that nineteenth-century feminism was not as significant a social force as twentieth-century feminism has been.(B) They rely too greatly on the perceptions of the actual participants in the events they study. (C)Their assessment of the relative success
22、of nineteenth-century domestic feminism does not adequately take into account the effects of antifeminist rhetoric.(D)Their assessment of the significance of nineteenth-century suffragism differs considerably from that of nineteenth-century feminists.(E) They devote too much attention to nineteenth-
23、century suffragism at the expense of more radical movements that emerged shortly after the turn of the century. Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their form and function, their dimensions and appearance, were determined by technologists artisans, designers, inven
24、tors, and engineers-using non-(5) scientific modes of thought. Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, i
25、t has been non-(10)verbal thinking, by and large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them. (15) Th
26、e creative shaping process of a technologists mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For exam-ple, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of right-(20)ness and fitness. Wh
27、at would be the shape of the com-bustion chamber? Where should the valves be placed? Should it have a long or short piston? Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, by limitations of available (25)space, and not least by a sense of form. Some
28、decisions, such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary. Design courses, then, should be an essential element (30)in engineering curricula. Nonverbal thinking, a central mechanism in engineering design, invo
29、lves perceptions, the stock-in-trade of the artist, not the scientist. Because perceptive processes are not assumed to entail hard thinking, nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a prim-(35)itive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal or mathematical thought. But it
30、is para-doxical that when the staff of the Historic American Engineering Record wished to have drawings made of machines and isometric views of industrial processes for (40)its historical record of American engineering, the only college students with the requisite abilities were not engi-neering stu
31、dents, but rather students attending architec-tural schools. It courses in design, which in a strongly analytical (45)engineering curriculum provide the background required for practical problem- solving, are not provided, we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring in advanced engineering systems. For example, early models of high-speed railroad cars loaded with sophisticated (50)controls w
