大列举：找数字标志词、主体词即可The first of these asserts that residents of early modern England moved regularly about their countryside; migrating to the New World was simply a “natural spillover”. Although（看后半句，转折） at first the colonies held little positive attraction（讲原因） for the English—they would rather have stayed home—by the eighteenth century people increasingly migrated to America because they regarded it as the land of opportunity*5D. Secondly, Bailyn holds that, contrary to（强对比，出取非题中的对比题） the notion that used to flourish in America history textbooks*7, there was never a typical New World community*7C. For example（小例子，可暂时不看）, the economic and demographic character of early New England towns varied considerably.
Bailyn’s third proposition suggests two general patterns prevailing among the many thousands of migrants: one group came as indentured servants契约佣人, another came to acquire land. Surprisingly（奇怪的语言）, Bailyn suggests that those who recruited indentured servants were the driving forces of transatlantic migration. These colonial entrepreneurs helped determine the social character of people who came to preindustrial North America. At first, thousands of unskilled laborers were recruited; by the 1730’s, however（强转折，可以出取非题）, American employers demanded skilled artisans*1D.前三个论点没有评价，看成正评价
Finally, Bailyn argues that the colonies were a half-civilized半开化 hinterland穷乡僻壤 of the European culture system. He is undoubtedly correct（小+）（让步，后面必有转折） to insist that the colonies were part of an Anglo-American empire. But（转折） to divide the empire into English core and colonial periphery, as Bailyn does, devalues*8A（大-） the achievements of colonial culture. It is true（小+）（让步，找转折）, as Bailyn claims, that high culture in the colonies never matched*4A that in England. But（大-）（转折） what of (what of 1: what is the situation with respect to 2: what importance can be assigned to) seventeenth-century New England*4美国东北六个州的联合, where the settlers created effective laws, built a distinguished university著名大学（哈佛）, and published books? Bailyn might（让步） respond that New England was exceptional. However（转折）, the ideas and institutions developed by New England Puritans清教徒 had powerful effects on North American culture.
这一段该讲什么：总结；或者为什么给这样的评价；要么就是延伸性内容Although Bailyn goes on to apply his approach to some thousands of indentured servants who migrated just prior to the revolution, he fails to*2（-）本段是文章的总结 link*2D their experience with the political development of the United States. Evidence presented in his work suggests how we might make such a connection. These indentured servants were treated as slaves for the period during which they had sold their time to American employers. It is not surprising很正常 that as soon as they served their time they passed up放弃 (pass up: 放弃；错过) good wages in the cities and headed west to ensure their personal independence by acquiring land. Thus, it is in the west that a peculiarly American political culture began, among colonists who were suspicious of authority and intensely anti-aristocratic.
