For many years, historians thought that the development of capitalism had not faced serious challenges in the UnitedStates. Writing in the early twentieth century, Progressive historians sympathized with the battles waged by farmers and small producers against large capitalists in the late nineteenth century, but they did not question the widespread acceptance of laissez-faire (unregulated) capitalism throughout American history. Similarly, Louis Hartz, who sometimes disagreed with the Progressives, argued that Americans accepted laissez-faire capitalism without challenge because they lacked a feudal, precapitalist past. Recently, however, some scholars have argued that even though laissez-faire became the prevailing ethos in nineteen-century America, it was not accepted without struggle. Laissez-faire capitalism, they suggest, clashed with existing religious and communitarian norms that imposed moral constraints on acquisitiveness to protect the weak from the predatory, the strong from corruption, and the entire culture from materialist excess. Buttressed by mercantilist notions that government should be both regulator and promoter of economic activity, these norms persisted long after the American Revolution helped unleash the economic forces that produced capitalism. These scholars argue that even in the late nineteenth century, with the government's role in the economy considerably diminished, laissez-faire had not triumphed completely. Hard times continued to revive popular demands for regulating business and softening the harsh edges of laissez-faire capitalism.

The passage suggests that the scholars mentioned in highlight text would agree with which of the following statements regarding the "norms" mentioned in highlight text?

AThey provided a primary source of opposition to the development of laissez-faire capitalism in the United States in the nineteenth century.
BTheir appeal was undermined by difficult economic times in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century.
CThey disappeared in the United States in the late nineteenth century because of the triumph of laissez-faire capitalism.
DThey facilitated the successful implementation of mercantilist notions of government in the United States in the nineteenth-century.
EThey are now recognized by historians as having been an important part of the ideology of the American Revolution.

错选了D，因为定位在notion后面了，但是D They facilitated the successful implementation of mercantilist notions of government in the United States in the nineteenth-century. 的主语they是scholars, 而原文中的意思应该是表达norms facilitated....,所以排除D。

大哥你这是题目都没看懂啊。。。选项里的they指的就是norms，问题问的是scholars是如何看待这些norms的。
D错在是mercantilist notions buttress norms 而不是norms facilitate mercantilist notions 文中原话是“ Buttressed by mercantilist notions that government should be both regulator and promoter of economic activity, these norms persisted long after the American Revolution.......”

阅读推断题往往有个规律（我自己总结的），就是你可以拿题目里的关键词去定位，但是如果选项和原文的词的重合度非常高，你一定要小心，因为很有可能他是错的（错误一般是选项改变了句子重心，调换语序改变句意等等）

infer类的题正确答案分为两类：1，基于定位句的合理推理； 2. 基于段落间、段落内的结构，对文章中心思想、或段落中心思想的精确概括。这道题属于后者。很多人定位到norm所在的句子之后，看了好多遍这个句子就是选不出答案。为何？因为，这道题考的不是你对norm所在的那个句子的单独的理解，而是对文章结构的把握。norm所在的句子的内容，放在文章框架之下，就是some scholar的观点的suporting idea。 however, 这个转折词可以帮我们快速找到这种观点，即资本主义并非是没有人民反抗的就被接受了。逻辑链就找到了。因此，很容易选出答案

A的话，clash能对应opposition，后面的protect from……the ENTIRE culture看起来挺绝对的，勉强对应一下primary吧。A不完美但最没有绝对错误

primary 没有任何问题，题目是讨论scholars哦。我们来做一道黑脸题：
有几个观点都同意：资本发展在美国没有阻碍。 However, 最近scholars发现是有阻碍的，“他们是资本化和norms有冲突，而且norms又长又久。”
“”里面是黑脸，那黑脸的作用就是 only evidence to support scholars' position
为支持论点norms 阻碍资本化，而且persist long，原文的最后两句提供论据：资本化的障碍许久没有消失
