网考网解析：
该题问：作者会同意哪一个有关Bailyn的作品的评价？A项意为"Bailyn低估了清教徒思想对美国文化的影响”，在本文的第四段可以找到线索：Bailyn might respond that New England was exceptional. However, the ideas and institutions developed by New England puritans had powerful effects on North American culture意为“Bailyn可能会说，新英格兰是个特例。不过，新英格兰清教徒的思想和组织机构对北美文化有着深远的影响”，这为正确选项。B项意为"Bailyn关于殖民地是盎格鲁-美利坚帝国的一部分这个说法是错误的”，Baityn的这个观点作者同意。在本文的第四段可以找到线索：He is undoubtedly correct to insist that the colonies were part of an Anglo-American empire意为“在坚持殖民地是盎格鲁—美利坚帝国的一部分这一点上，他无疑是正确的”。C项意为“Bailyn没有将其观点用一特定移民团体来验证”，Bailyn实际上考察了签约仆人这种现象。在本文的最后一段可以找到线索：Although Bailyn goes on to apply his approach to some thousands of indentured servants who migrated just prior to the revolution意为“尽管Bailyn不断关注着数万名刚好在革命前夕迁移过来的签约仆人”。D项意为“高估了新英格兰移民经历。”恰好说反了，文中作者认为Bailyn忽视了英格兰对美国整体文化的影响。 查看试题解析出处>>
