问题     Although Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’ novel Doctor Zay (1882) dominates critical discussion of Phelps’ interest in woman doctors, preceding it were many little-known writings by Phelps. These writings underscored the achievements of already established women doctors, the imperative of medically educating and training women in the face of pernicious resistance, and the medical woman’s symbolic value as an agent of healing in post-Civil War America. An exploration of this largely overlooked early prose demonstrates that Phelps played an instrumental role in legitimizing the American medical woman during a crucial earlier period when the number of women doctors in the United States increased substantially, but the woman doctor remained perhaps the most controversial new presence on the nation’s occupational landscape. [br] It can be inferred that the author of the passage would be likely to agree with which of the following statements about Phelps’ writing?
选项 A、While Phelps’ earlier works did a great deal toward legitimizing the figure of the American woman doctor, her novel Doctor Zay did not.
B、Critics have tended to underestimate the impact Phelps’ earlier work had in helping to legitimize the figure of the American woman doctor during an important period.
C、The substantial increase in the number of woman doctors in post-Civil War America was a more significant factor than was Phelps’ writing in helping to legitimize woman doctors in post- Civil War America.
答案 B
解析 作者之所以发现费尔普斯的早期作品在合理化女医生方面扮演了重要的角色，是因为对这些作品重新做了研究，但是这些作品在之前是不知名的，因此是评论界所忽视，对应原文中的little-known、overlooked。A项文章没有评价《扎伊医生》这部作品在合理化医生方面的作用。C项文章没说女医生数量的上升是否是导致女医生被合理化的一个因素。
