判断题In 2003 most women said that only men should propose to women.A 对B 错

第1题：

B

Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”

He points out that differences among households（家庭）exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” Stafford said.

Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.

Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.

Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.

Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’10 hours.

45. According to the “well-known pattern” in Paragraph 1, a married man___________.

A. takes on heavier work B. does more housework

C. is the main breadwinner D. is the master of the house

正确答案：C

Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are two passages iⅡthis part． Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D．You should decide on the best choice．

Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:

Passage One

The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them．

The reality is very different．Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men．

They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider．And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children．

All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite．

The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories．It is a sort of work women do．Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them．

Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers． Not a lot of men among that group, are there?

Yet some of those jobs are really important．Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start．

So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women．

This is not going to be put right overnight． But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start．

It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens．

Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men( )．

A． after 25 years

B． according to the law

C． as a result of the Equal Pay Act

D． because women are as strong as men

正确答案：B
B[解析]根据the Equal Pay Act应该做到男女平等，C选项错在并不是因为the Equal Pay Act的结果。所以答案选B。

第5题：

Women’s clothes still button from the left today because______.

A.abouting men’s style. is improper for women

B.manufacturers should follow standards

C.modern women dress themselves

D.customs are hard to change

_________(52)
A:towards
B:against
C:upon
D:through

答案：A

解析：

本句是递进关系，强调本世纪的后20年，所以选B。 certainly意为“必然地”;apparently意为“明显地”;practically意为“实际上”。
towards表示变化的倾向，意为“朝······方向发展”。
上文提到本世纪的主要变化是女性享有更多与男性同样的权利。因此可以推断本世纪初与现在相比，妇女的权利要较少。所以选B。
上一句说“妇女不能投票，被关在家里”，下一句说“据我们所知，大多数妇女很高兴这样”，这显然是转折关系，所以选C。
由上文推断本句的意思应该是“英国妇女当然比过去享有更多的权利”,所以选B。 lack是“缺少”的意思；occupy是“占据”的意思。
give意为“给予”;deprive意为“剥夺”;deny意为“否认，拒绝”;approve意为“批准，通过”。由上文妇女获得权利可以推断本句的意思是“1919年，妇女被给予投票权”。因此选A。
share是“分享，共享”的意思，本句的意思是离婚时，给予妇女同样份额的财产，即夫妻分享财产。所以选D。
上一句说“1970年，法律规定在离婚时给予妇女同样份额的财产”，下一句说“同年的《同酬法案》给予妇女同工同酬的权利”，两项法律都是给予妇女权利，是并列关系，所以用表示并列关系的连词and。
because of意为“因为，由于”;instead of意为“而不是······”;in spite of意为“不管，虽然”;as a result of意为“作为······的结果”。本句的意思是“虽然有这些改变，女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别”，表示让步关系，所以应选C。
由上文可以推断虽然有法律规定，但是女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别，工资的差别就是其中之一，这是由于许多雇主忽视《同酬法案》，所以选C。
sb.be likely to do sth.表示可能性，意为“某人很可能做某事”，本句的意思是“做同样的工作，女性可能平均只赚男性的一半”。
according to sth．意为“根据某事”;apart from/in addition to sth.意为“除了某事”;according to a survey是“根据调查结果”的意思。
by mistake意为“错误地”;by accident意为“偶然”;in turn意为“依次，轮流”;in fact意为“事实上”。比较选项只能选D，本句的意思是：“根据一份调查，事实上，现在全国只有1/3的工人是女性。”
stem from是“来自，源于”的意思，相当于result from，本句的意思是“这么小的比例部分是由于缺乏幼儿园。”A result in B是“A导致B”的意思。
上一句提到妇女不参加工作是由于缺乏幼儿园，所以此句应为如果有足够的幼儿园。

Survey Found Many Women Misinformed About Cancer Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer,they're not likely to develop the disease,a new survey found. In fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer,according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACOG)（美国妇产科医师学会）,which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer,"Dr.Douglas W.Laube,ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference."An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U.S.this year,and over 600 , 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer.The results of this survey found a worrisome（令人担忧的） gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
Based on the findings,ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions（错误观念）about cancer , 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However,only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk.And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past years to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.
Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings,ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website-Protect & Detect:What Women Should Know about Cancer.The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.

Most American women know too little about how to lower their cancer risk.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：B

解析：

由文章第三段最后一句话“The results of this survey found a worrisome gap in women ' s knowledge about cancer.”可知，很多美国女性对癌症知识了解很少。故选A。
由文章第二段“In fact , most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer…”可知，没有家族癌症病史的人也会患癌症。故选B。
通读全文，文章中并未提及男性患癌症的情况，因此也就无从比较死于癌症的女性和男性数量的多少。故选C。
由文章第五段“…76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.”可知，大部分女性对于如何减少癌症风险还是有一定了解的。故选B。
由文章第六段第三句话“17 percent said they wouldn ' t change their lifestyles , even if changes would lower their cancer risk.”可知，即使改变生活方式会降低癌症风险，但是有些女性还是不愿意去改变。故选A。
由文章第七段第一句话“Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.”可知，很多美国女性因为害怕被检查出癌症而不敢去检查。故选A。
由文章最后一段可知，针对这些发现，AGOG将建立一个网站来指导女性了解自己的健康状况及提高她们对自己会患癌症的风险的理解，并未提及AGOG对女性关于癌症的教育受到了人们的感激。故选C。

1.All research to date on body image shows that women are much more critical of their appearance than men and much less likely to admire what they see in the mirror. Up to 8 out of 10 women are dissatisfied with their reflection,and more than half may see a distorted image.
2.Men looking in the mirror are more likely to be either pleased with what they see or indifferent. Research shows that men generally have a much more positive body-image than women一if anything,they may tend to over-estimate their attractiveness.Some men looking in the mirror may literally not see the flaws in their appearance.
3.Why are women too much more self-critical than men?Because women are judged on their appearance more than men,and standards of female beauty are considerably higher and more inflexible.Women are continually bombarded with images of the inflexible.Women are continually bombarded with images of the"ideal"face.And constant exposure to idealized images of female beauty on TV,magazines and billboards makes exceptional good looks seem normal and anything short of perfection seem abnormal and ugly.It has been estimated that young women now see more images of outstandingly beautiful women in one day than our mothers saw throughout their entire adolescence.
4.Also,most women are trying to achieve the impossible:standards of female beauty have in fact become progressively more unrealistic during the last century.In 1917,the physically perfect woman was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed nearly 10 stone（约140磅）.Even 25 years ago, top models and beauty queens weighed only 8% less than the average woman,now they weigh 23% less.The current media ideal for women is achievable by less than 5% of the female population一and that's just in terms of weight and size.If you want the ideal shape,face,etc, it's probably more like 1%.

Paragraph 4_________
A:How do men view their appearance?
B:How can women make themselves more beautiful?
C:Why do men and women view their appearance differently?
D:Is it possible for women to meet the standards of perfect beauty?
E:How do people judge women and men?
F: How do women view their appearance?

答案：D

Careers for Women

It is only seventy years since British women got the right to vote.Some people think this is the main reason why women are so under-represented in politics,trade unions and big businesses.Others feel it is simply because that they are much too busy doing other things.The old saying"a woman's place is in the home"may seem out of date to most people,but the old,fixed image of a woman as a supporting wife and caring mother is certainly still usual一one only has to watch a few television ads.
In 1975 the law did not allow women to be paid less than men doing the same work.Certainly it is usually the case nowadays that women doing the same jobs as men get the same money for doing it. But generally women do not do the same jobs:they do different ones that offer lower salaries.
In the United States,there are two million women entering the workforce every year. The new workers include all ages and backgrounds:teenagers,college students,young housewives,and older women who have lost their husbands.Altogether,more than half of the eighty-four million women in
the United States are now employed or seeking employment.Most of them are still holding tightly to the womanly jobs such as nursing,teaching,catering and office work jobs that can be seen as an extension of the mothering role.
Although the areas women work in are almost all those of"service",a growing number of pioneers are venturing into other fields. They run business;they manage farms;they become astronauts, carpenters,lawyers,truck or taxi-drivers,coal miners,or politicians.They join the army or the navy.So far no woman has become president of the country;but that might happen,as indeed it has happened in other countries.
Apart from looking after people during the day at work,women often have to take care of a family at home too,which may mean they have less energy to compete in the race for professional development. In almost every field,top positions are more likely to be filled by men. While most teachers are women,for example,most head masters are not.School cooks are women,head cooks are men and even cleaners tend to be watched over and directed by male caretakers.

Decades ago women were too busy to get involved in social affairs.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：C

解析：

文章第一段就指出“It is only seventy years since British women got the rightto vote"，七十年前英国妇女才获得了选举权，因此选B
文章并没有提到几十年前妇女是否因为太忙没有时间参加社会事务，所以选C。
该判断正确。文中第二段提到“Certainly it is usually the case nowadaysthat women doing the same jobs as men get the same money for doing it.”即通常和男人做同样工作的女人拿到的钱和男人一样多。
第三段最后一句说到很多妇女做的工作“can be seen as an extension of themothering role"，这些工作都可以被看作是看顾、照料型角色的扩展，mothering意思是“像母亲般照顾人的”而非“母亲”的意思，所以选B。
文章并没有提到美国是否在短期内就会产生一名女性总统，只是说“Sofar no woman has become president of the country; but that might happen"，即有可能产生女总统，所以选C。
文章最后一段表明一个事实，即女性在工作和家庭中都需要做照顾性的工作，而这也许意味着“they have less energy to compete in the race for professional development", 而不是在工作上天生不如男性精力旺盛，所以选B
文章最后一段倒数第二句提到“While most teachers are women ...most head masters are not"，即虽然大多数教师是女性，但学校的校长却不是女性。所以A正确。

B

White women.

C

Men of color.

D

解析：
推理判断题。根据题干信息定位到第二段第一二句话“Black or Hispanic women are four times as likely to be low-wage workers as are white men”“White women are more than three times as likely as white men to be low-wage workers”，由此可知，黑人女性或者西班牙裔女性成为低工资劳动者的可能性是具有同等技能和经验的白人男性的4倍，白人女性成为低工资劳动者的可能性比白人男性高3倍多，两种比较的参照标准都是白人男性，因此成为低工资劳动者可能性最高的人群是黑人或西班牙裔女性，而她们属于有色人种，故答案为A项。

问答题

Passage 1Why Some Women Cross the Finish Line Ahead of Men?　　A Women who apply for jobs in middle or senior management have a higher success rate than men, according to an employment survey. But of course far fewer of them apply for these positions. The study, by recruitment consultants NB Selection, shows that while one in six men who appear on interview shortlists get jobs, the figure rises to one in four for women.　　B The study concentrated on applications for management positions in the $45,000 to $110,000 salary range and found that women are more successful than men in both the private and public sectors. Dr Elisabeth Marx from London based NB Selection described the findings as encouraging for women, in that they send a positive message to them to apply for interesting management positions. But she added, “We should not lose sight of the fact that significantly fewer women apply for senior positions in comparison with men.” 　　C Reasons for higher success rates among women are difficult to isolate. One explanation suggested is that if a woman candidate manages to get on a shortlist, then she has probably already proved herself to be an exceptional candidate. Dr Marx said that when women apply for positions they tend to be better qualified than their male counterparts but are more selective and conservative in their job search. Women tend to research thoroughly before applying for positions or attending interviews. Men, on the other hand, seem to rely on their ability to sell themselves and to convince employers that any shortcomings they have will not prevent them from doing a good job.　　D Managerial and executive progress made by women is confirmed by the annual survey of boards of directors carried out by Korn/Ferry/Carre/Orban International. This year the survey shows a doubling of the number of women serving as nonexecutive directors compared with the previous year. However, progress remains painfully slow and there were still only 18 posts filled by women out of a total of 354 nonexecutive positions surveyed. Hilary Sears, a partner with Korn/Ferry, said, women have raised the level of grades we are employed in but we have still not broken through barriers to the top.　　E In Europe a recent feature of corporate life in the recession has been the delayering of management structures. Sears said that this has halted progress for women in as much as delayering has taken place either where women are working or in layers they aspire to. Sears also noted a positive trend from the recession, which has been the growing number of women who have started up on their own.　　F In business as a whole, there are a number of factors encouraging the prospect of greater equality in the workforce. Demographic trends suggest that the number of women going into employment is steadily increasing. In addition a far greater number of women are now passing through higher education, making them better qualified to move into management positions.　　G Organisations such as the European Women’s Management Development Network provide a range of opportunities for women to enhance their skills and contacts. Through a series of both pan European and national workshops and conferences the barriers to women in employment are being broken down. However, Ariane Berthoin Antal, director of the International Institute for Organizational Change of Archamps in France, said that there is only anecdotal evidence of changes in recruitment patterns. And she said, “It’s still so hard for women to even get on to shortlists, there are so many hurdles and barriers.” Antal agreed that there have been some positive signs but said “Until there is a belief among employers, until they value the difference, nothing will change.”　　Answer the questions below.　　Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer.　　Write your answers in boxes 1-4 on your answer sheet.　　1. What change has there been in the number of women in top management positions detailed in the annual survey?　　2. What aspect of company structuring has disadvantaged women?　　3. What information tells us that more women are working nowadays?　　4. Which group of people should change their attitude to recruitment?

正确答案： 1. doubling
(本题题干问的是管理层女性数量有什么变化。由关键词top management positions和annual survey定位到原文D段第二句“This year the survey shows a doubling of the number of women serving as nonexecutive directors compared with the previous year”,可以清晰地看到表达数量变化的词只有doubling, 所以本题的答案为doubling。)
2. delayering
(本题题干问的是哪种公司结构对女性不利。由关键词disadvantaged women定位到原文E段首句“In Europe a recent feature of corporate life in the recession has been the delayering of management structures”, 可见描述管理结构的词语只有delayering, 所以本题的答案为delayering。)
3. demographic trends
(本题题干问的是哪些信息表明工作的女性数量在上升。本题关键词是more women are working,意思是有更多的女性开始工作,即进入工作岗位的女性数量在上升,对应原文F段第二句“Demographic trends suggest that the number of women going into employment is steadily increasing”,由此可知是demographic trends 表明了这些信息,所以本题的答案为demographic trends。)
4. employers
(本题题干问的是哪些群体应该改变自身对雇佣的态度。本题无明显关键词,可按顺序性原则在原文第3题的答案处向后阅读,对应原文G段尾句Antal agreed that there have been some positive signs but said “Until there is a belief among employers, until they value the difference, nothing will change”,change为原词重现,attitude to recruitment对应原文中value the difference,因此本题答案为employers。)

第13题：

Passage Four

Equal pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they are looked down upon by the society. They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work.

People who hold the opposite opinion(mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women; a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make important decisions, and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time job, they will be unable to do the things they are supposed to. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society.

"This is exactly what they want to give up, "the women who disagree say. "They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill, and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life, or a mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities."

These women have expressed their opinions forcefully by using the famous saying, "All men are created equal." They point out that the meaning of this sentence is "all human beings are created equal."

48. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to demand that______.

A. women's work shouldn't be harder than men's

B. men should be paid less than women

C. people doing harder work should earn more

D. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work

正确答案：A

What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?

A. The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.

B. Women bargain (讨价还价) for their clothes, but men do not.

C. Women stand in a shop, but men sit down.

D. The time they take to buy clothes.

正确答案：D

47．答案为D 此考题为推理题。选项A和C显然与事实相矛盾。文中未提及男人不在乎价格的高低而女人喜欢买便宜货，但文中并未暗示喜不喜欢讨价还价足男顾客与女顾客之间最明显的差别。从文章中可以看出两者最明显的区别应在于他们花在购买衣服上的时间长短，故应选D。

B． more women would get married to seek financial security

C． even working women would worry about their marriages

第17题：

C

It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers （生产商）follow certain uniform. standards for various features（特征）of clothes. What seems strange , however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form. the left. Considering most of the word’s population-men and women-are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?

History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the

17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hang, having men’s shirts button form. the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.

Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form. the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard , once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form. the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.

64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?

A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.

B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.

C. It woks better with men than with women.

D. It fails to consider right-handed people.

Survey Found Many Women Misinformed About Cancer Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer,they're not likely to develop the disease,a new survey found. In fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer,according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACOG)（美国妇产科医师学会）,which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer,"Dr.Douglas W.Laube,ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference."An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U.S.this year,and over 600 , 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer.The results of this survey found a worrisome（令人担忧的） gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
Based on the findings,ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions（错误观念）about cancer , 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However,only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk.And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past years to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.
Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings,ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website-Protect & Detect:What Women Should Know about Cancer.The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.

Some American women are just unwilling to change their lifestyles.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：A

解析：

由文章第三段最后一句话“The results of this survey found a worrisome gap in women ' s knowledge about cancer.”可知，很多美国女性对癌症知识了解很少。故选A。
由文章第二段“In fact , most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer…”可知，没有家族癌症病史的人也会患癌症。故选B。
通读全文，文章中并未提及男性患癌症的情况，因此也就无从比较死于癌症的女性和男性数量的多少。故选C。
由文章第五段“…76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.”可知，大部分女性对于如何减少癌症风险还是有一定了解的。故选B。
由文章第六段第三句话“17 percent said they wouldn ' t change their lifestyles , even if changes would lower their cancer risk.”可知，即使改变生活方式会降低癌症风险，但是有些女性还是不愿意去改变。故选A。
由文章第七段第一句话“Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.”可知，很多美国女性因为害怕被检查出癌症而不敢去检查。故选A。
由文章最后一段可知，针对这些发现，AGOG将建立一个网站来指导女性了解自己的健康状况及提高她们对自己会患癌症的风险的理解，并未提及AGOG对女性关于癌症的教育受到了人们的感激。故选C。

It is only seventy years since British women got the right to vote.Some people think this is the main reason why women are so under-represented in politics,trade unions and big businesses.Others feel it is simply because that they are much too busy doing other things.The old saying"a woman's place is in the home"may seem out of date to most people,but the old,fixed image of a woman as a supporting wife and caring mother is certainly still usual一one only has to watch a few television ads.
In 1975 the law did not allow women to be paid less than men doing the same work.Certainly it is usually the case nowadays that women doing the same jobs as men get the same money for doing it. But generally women do not do the same jobs:they do different ones that offer lower salaries.
In the United States,there are two million women entering the workforce every year. The new workers include all ages and backgrounds:teenagers,college students,young housewives,and older women who have lost their husbands.Altogether,more than half of the eighty-four million women in
the United States are now employed or seeking employment.Most of them are still holding tightly to the womanly jobs such as nursing,teaching,catering and office work jobs that can be seen as an extension of the mothering role.
Although the areas women work in are almost all those of"service",a growing number of pioneers are venturing into other fields. They run business;they manage farms;they become astronauts, carpenters,lawyers,truck or taxi-drivers,coal miners,or politicians.They join the army or the navy.So far no woman has become president of the country;but that might happen,as indeed it has happened in other countries.
Apart from looking after people during the day at work,women often have to take care of a family at home too,which may mean they have less energy to compete in the race for professional development. In almost every field,top positions are more likely to be filled by men. While most teachers are women,for example,most head masters are not.School cooks are women,head cooks are men and even cleaners tend to be watched over and directed by male caretakers.

Women are naturally less competitive than men in work since they are not as energetic as men.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：B

解析：

文章第一段就指出“It is only seventy years since British women got the rightto vote"，七十年前英国妇女才获得了选举权，因此选B
文章并没有提到几十年前妇女是否因为太忙没有时间参加社会事务，所以选C。
该判断正确。文中第二段提到“Certainly it is usually the case nowadaysthat women doing the same jobs as men get the same money for doing it.”即通常和男人做同样工作的女人拿到的钱和男人一样多。
第三段最后一句说到很多妇女做的工作“can be seen as an extension of themothering role"，这些工作都可以被看作是看顾、照料型角色的扩展，mothering意思是“像母亲般照顾人的”而非“母亲”的意思，所以选B。
文章并没有提到美国是否在短期内就会产生一名女性总统，只是说“Sofar no woman has become president of the country; but that might happen"，即有可能产生女总统，所以选C。
文章最后一段表明一个事实，即女性在工作和家庭中都需要做照顾性的工作，而这也许意味着“they have less energy to compete in the race for professional development", 而不是在工作上天生不如男性精力旺盛，所以选B
文章最后一段倒数第二句提到“While most teachers are women ...most head masters are not"，即虽然大多数教师是女性，但学校的校长却不是女性。所以A正确。
