参考答案和解析
推理判断题。从文章的第四段第一句话The Women’s Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s, has focused on economic rights such as ‘equal pay for equal work’ 可知，在20世纪60年代，美国妇女的权利运动主要集中在同工同酬方面，主要关注的是自己的经济地位。所以B项正确。A项错误，倒数第二段末句提到女性的职业主要有teachers, nurses or office workers，而不是在这几个职业上受到限制。C项错误，由末句可知，是妇女解放运动的领导认为all men are created equal的意思是所有人类平等，而不是只有男人平等。D项错误，由with jobs in the government.定位倒数第二段倒数第二句，可知只有很少的妇女在学术和政府方面担任高层。

第1题：
Passage Four
Women earn less than men do. For example, in 1998 the hourly wages of women in the U. S. were 26% less than those of men.
The gap between male and female incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men
varies. It's also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women in ran
industry, the lower the average wages.
Why do women earn less than men do? Can the differences be explained by the fact that women are looked
down upon? If so, the government has to intervene(干预), to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of
the gap. One view argues that women, on the average, have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative
to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background.
Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some prejudice (偏见) against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to
increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new
workers declines. The result will be a surplus 过剩) of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs
might find themselves out of work.
48. Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because______.
A. there are more than enough women in the labor force
B. women have more freedom in selecting jobs
C. women are only provided with low-paid jobs
D. women are less experienced than men
正确答案：D此题为细节分析推论题。文章的第二段内可以找到句子：One view…which reduces their year of experience background。有一种观点认为是女性就业时，更倾向于选择自由性更强但报酬更低的行业，这也导致她们的工作经验不如男性。

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.

It can be inferred from the passage that early historians of women’s labor in the United States paid little attention to women’s employment in the service sector of the economy because________．
A．fewer women found employment in the service sector than in factory work
B．the wages paid to workers in the service sector were much lower than those paid in the industrial sector
C．women’s employment in the service sector tended to be much more short—term than in factory work
D．employment in the service sector seemed to have much in common with the unpaid work associated with homemaking

New Changes in American Life
Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families,while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children.______(46)But by the middle of this centu-ry,men's and women's roles were becoming less firmly fixed.
In the 1950s,economic and social success was the goal of the typical American.But in the 1960s a new force developed called the counterculture.______(47)The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices.Taking more interest in childcare,men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives.In fact,some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes.______(48)Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.
In terms of numbers,the counterculture was not a very large group of people._______(49) Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns.Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on"overtime"work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families.Some doctors,lawyers,and teachers turned away from high paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.
In the 1970s,the feminist movement,or women's liberation,produced additional economic and social changes.Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers.______(50)But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations: police work,banking,dentistry,and construction work.Women were asking for equal work,and equal opportunities for promotion.
Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women .Naturally,there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations._______(50)
A: In addition,many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier.
B: Most of them still took traditional women's jobs as public school teaching,nursing,and secretarial work.
C: These roles were firmly fixed for most people,and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles.
D: But its influence spread to many parts of American society.
E: The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals.
F: A great many jobs that used to belong to men are now taken by women.答案：B解析：空格46后面的句子中出现了一个比较级“less firmly"，这说明空格中也应有这样一个副词。从句意上看，空格后面的句子以转折词but引导，说明该句与空格中的句子成转折关系。综合考虑，本题选C。
空格47所在段落主要是在谈论20世纪50年代的“反文化”运动给传统意义下的美国男女作用对比带来的影响。选项中只有E项出现了“the movement”这个词组，所以大致圈定选项E。从上下文来看，选项E实际上是该段中所谈到的变化的总括，故选 E。
空格48后面的句子是在讲许多年轻人不愿服兵役参加越战，该句与段落中其他句子没有直接联系，这说明空格中的句子应该是承上启下的连接句。选项A中出现in addition连接上文，male role of soldier照应下文，这表明A项是合适的选项。
空格所在的段落继续谈论“反文化”运动对美国社会的影响，但从上下文来看，该段已不仅仅在说对男女角色关系的影响，所以与上段之间缺少一个连接句来照应。选项 D的意思是“它影响到美国社会的很多方面”，符合题意，故选D。
本段主要是说美国女权运动所带来的影响，妇女们大量加入劳动力大军。空格50 后面的句子以but引导，这说明两句话之间是对比关系。后者是说明妇女从事了一些以前本属于男人的工作，那么空格所在的句子也就应该是说妇女从事一些传统的工作，这就是选项B的意思，故选B。 -
第7题：
Beauty has always been regarded as something praise worthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine (有男子气概的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. ′When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,′ says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness___________.A.makes women look more honest and capable
B.strengthens the feminine qualities required
C.is of primary importance to women
D.often enables women to succeed quickly答案：B解析：细节题。根据traditionally female jobs定位到倒数第三段，最后一句“an attractive woman has all advantage in traditionally female jobs…lack the“masculine”qualities required”可见，在传统上由女性所从事的工作中，有魅力的女性具有一定优势；但在传统上由男性所从事的工作中，有魅力的女性看起来缺乏所需要的男性特质；由此推断，在传统上由女性所从事的工作中，魅力加强了所需的女性特质。故选B。A项与文意相反，C项和D项均未在文中体现。 -

Changes of Women's Role
The role of women in Britain has changed a lot in this century,______(51)in the last twenty years.The main change has been______(52)giving women greater equality with men.Up to the beginning of this century,women seem to have had______(53)rights.They could not vote and were kept at home.______(54),as far as we know,most women were happy with this situation.

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。 -

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。 -

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

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。 -

All of the following are true EXCEPT __.（ ）
[A] men tend to talk more in public than women
[B] nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversation
[C] women attach much importance to communication between couples
[D] a female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse
正确答案：B
以下选项除_____ 外均表述正确。
[A]在公共场合男性往往比女性健谈
[B]最近的离婚案例中近一半是因为交流不畅造成的
[C]女性将夫妻之间的交流看得很重要
[D]女性在家往往比她们的伴侣更健谈
答案解析：[B]事实细节题。本题可定位到第三段最后一句“Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent，that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year——a virtual epidemic of failedconversation．”联系上下文可知，目前的离婚率接近50%，按这个比例计算的话，在美国每年因交流不畅导致的离婚案例得有上百万，并不是说“最近的离婚案例中近一半是因为交流不畅造成的”，故[B]错误，为正确答案。第二段明确说明“公共场合男性比女性爱讲话”，所以[A]正确，排除。[c]和[D]也分别能在第四段和第二段找到依据，均为正确表述，故排除。 -

Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine (有男子气概的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. ′When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,′ says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
The author writes this passage to ____________.A.give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
B.discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
C.demand equal rights for women
D.state the importance of appearance答案：B解析：主旨题。本文虽然也提到了魅力有许多积极方面，但那并不是文章的主要方面。文章主要讲的是魅力给一些女性所造成的不利影响。由此可见，作者写这篇文章的目的是要讨论有魅力的消极方面。故选B。 -

New Changes in American Life
Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families,while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children.______(46)But by the middle of this centu- ry,men's and women's roles were becoming less firmly fixed.
In the 1950s,economic and social success was the goal of the typical American.But in the l960s a new force developed called the counterculture.______(47)The counterculture presen- ted men and women with new role choices.Taking more interest in childcare,men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives.In fact,some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both se- xes.______(48)Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Viet-nam。
In terms of numbers,the counterculture was not a very large group of people.______(49) Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns.Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on“overtime”work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families.Some doctors,lawyers,and teachers turned away from high paying situa-tions to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.
In the 1970s,the feminist movement,or women's liberation,produced additional economic and social changes.Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers.______(50)But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations: police work,banking,dentistry,and construction work.Women were asking for equal work,and equal opportunities for promotion.
Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women.Naturally,there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations.______(46)
A: In addition,many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier.
B: Most of them still took traditional women's jobs as public school teaching,nursing,and secretarial work.
C: These roles were firmly fixed for most people,and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles.
D: But its influence spread to many parts of American society.
E: The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals.
F: A great many jobs that used to belong to men are now taken by women.答案：C解析：空格46后面的句子中出现了一个比较级“less firmly”，这说明空格中也应有这样一个副词。从句意上看，空格后面的句子以转折词but引导，说明该句与空格中的句子成转折关系。综合考虑，本题选C。
空格47所在段落主要是在谈论20世纪50年代的“反文化”运动给传统意义下的美国男女作用时比带来的影响。选项中只有E项出现了“the movement”这个词组，所以大致圈定选项E。从上下文来看，选项E实际上是该段中所谈到的变化的总括，故选E。
空格48后面的句子是在讲许多年轻人不愿服兵役参加越战，该句与段落中其他句子没有直接联系，这说明空格中的句子应该是承上启下的连接句。选项A中出现“in addition”连接上文，“male role of soldier”照应下文，这表明A项是合适的选项。
空格所在的段落继续谈论“反文化”运动对美国社会的影响，但从上下文来看，该段已不仅仅在说对男女角色关系的影响，所以与上段之间缺少一个连接句来照应。选项 D的意思是“它影响到美国社会的很多方面”，符合题意，故选D。
本段主要是说美国女权运动所带来的影响，妇女们大量加入劳动力大军。空格50 后面的句子以but引导，这说明两句话之间是对比关系。后者是说明妇女从事了一些以前本属于男人的工作，那么空格所在的句子也就应该是说妇女从事一些传统的工作，这就是选项B的意思，故选B。 -
第21题：
Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills ) , while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline ( 衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline．Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g．"object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter were typically dominated by women.
Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average．And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A.Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.
B.Women stand out at remembering people's names.
C.Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.
D.Women excel at dealing mathematic problems.答案：B解析：根据第二段Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images，while women tend to excel(擅长)at recalling information from their brain’s files．可推出答案为B。 -

问答题Passage 2The History of Women’s Suffrage A In the early nineteenth century, women were considered second-class citizens whose existence was limited to the interior life of the home and care of the children. Women were considered subsets of their husbands, and after marriage they did not have the right to own property, maintain their wages, or sign a contract, much less vote. It was expected that women be obedient wives, never to hold a thought or opinion independent of their husbands. It was considered improper for women to travel alone or to speak in public. With the belief that intense physical or intellectual activity would be injurious to the delicate female biology and reproductive system, women were taught to refrain from pursuing any serious education. Silently perched in their birdcages, women were considered merely objects of beauty, and were looked upon as intellectually and physically inferior to men. This belief in women’s inferiority to men was further reinforced by organized religion which preached strict and well-defined sex roles. B The Seneca Falls Convention The women’s suffrage movement was formally set into motion in 1848 with the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. The catalyst for this gathering was the World Anti-Slavery Convention held in 1840 in London and attended by an American delegation which included a number of women. In attendance were Lucretia Mort and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who were forced to sit in the galleries as observers because they were women. This poor treatment did not rest well with these women of progressive thoughts, and it was decided that they would hold their own convention to “discuss the social, civil and religious rights of women”. Using The Declaration of Independence as a guideline, Stanton presented her Declaration of Principles in her hometown chapel and brought to light women’s subordinate status and made recommendations for change. Resolution 9 requesting the right to vote was perhaps the most important in that it expressed the demand for sexual equality. Subsequent to the Seneca Falls Convention, the demand for the vote became the centerpiece of the women’s rights movement. C Suffrage During the Civil War During the Civil War, women’s suffrage was eclipsed by the war effort and movement for the abolition of slavery. While annual conventions were held on a regular basis, there was much discussion but little action. Activists such as slave-born Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony lectured and petitioned the government for the emancipation of slaves with the belief that, once the war was over, women and slaves alike would be granted the same rights as the white men. At the end of the war, however, the government saw the suffrage of women and that of the negro as two separate issues and it was decided that the negro vote could produce the immediate political gain, particularly in the South, that the women’s vote could not. Abraham Lincoln declared, “This hour belongs to the negro.” D Women Unite With the side-stepping of women’s rights, women activists became enraged, and the American Equal Rights Association was established by Stanton and her colleagues in 1866 in effort to organize in the fight for women’s rights. In 1868, the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment proved an affront to the women’s movement, as it defined “citizenship” and “voters” as “male”, and raised the question as to whether women were considered citizens of the United States at all. The exclusion of women was further reinforced with the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870, which enfranchised black men. In a disagreement over these Amendments, the women’s movement split into two factions. In New York, Stanton and Anthony established the radical National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell organized the more conservative American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) in Boston. These two groups later merged in 1890 to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) under the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. E Winning the Vote Susan B. Anthony was arrested for attempting to vote for Ulysses S. Grant in the 1872 presidential election. Six years later, in 1878, a Women’s Suffrage Amendment was introduced to U.S. Congress. With the formation of numerous groups, such as the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) and, the Women’s Trade Union League, the women’s movement gained a full head of steam during the 1890’s and early 1900’s. The U.S. involvement in World War I in 1918 slowed down the suffrage campaign as women pitched in for the war effort. However, in 1919, after years of petitioning, picketing, and protest parades, the Nineteenth Amendment was passed by both houses of Congress and in 1920 it became ratified under the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. F Amendment xix 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this Article by appropriate legislation. (Ratified August 26, 1920) G Equal Rights Amendment Upon this victory of the vote, the NAWSA disbanded as an organization, giving birth to the League of Women Voters. The vote was not enough to secure women’s equal rights according to Alice Paul, founder of the National Woman’s Party (NWP), who moved to take women’s rights one step further by proposing the Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.) to Congress in 1923. This demand to eliminate discrimination on the basis of gender failed to pass. The push for the E.R.A. continued on a state-by-state basis, until the newly formed National Organization for Women (NOW) launched a national campaign during the 1960’s. Despite many heated debates and protests, the E.R.A., while passed by Congress in 1972, has never been ratified. Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2? In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet, write TRUE if the statement agrees with the information FALSE if the statement contradicts the information NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this 1. In the early nineteenth century it was generally believed that men and women performed different roles in society. 2. The World Anti-Slavery Convention preceded the first Women’s Right Convention. 3. During the American Civil War, the Women’s suffrage movement flourished. 4. Men were not allowed to join the National Woman Suffrage Association. 5. The National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) was less radical than the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). 6. Abraham Lincoln was not sympathetic to the women’s movement.正确答案： 1. TRUE
(根据题干关键词early nineteenth century, men and women, different roles可定位到原文A第一段的首句“In the early nineteenth century, women were considered second-class citizens whose existence was limited to the interior life of the home and care of the children”,由此可知在19世纪早期女性被视为二等公民,只能在家中做家务或照顾孩子,所以题干表述是正确的。因而答案为TRUE。)
2. TRUE
(根据题干关键词The World Ant-Slavery Convention (ASC)和first Women’s Right Convention (WRC)可定位到B第二段的第一句“The catalyst for this gathering was the World Anti-Slavery Convention held in 1840 in London and attended by an American delegation which included a number of women”,其中this gathering指的就是女权运动,因此可知题干表述是完全正确的。因而答案为TRUE。)
3. FALSE
(根据题干关键词American Civil War和flourished可定位到原文C部分首句“During the Civil War, women’s suffrage was eclipsed by the war effort and movement for the abolition of slavery”,文中eclipsed意思是“遮暗,使失色”,因此可知在内战期间女性选举权运动受到了影响,因此题干表述是不符合原文的。因而答案是FALSE。)
4. NOT GIVEN
(根据题干关键词National Woman Suffrage Association可定位到原文D部分尾句“Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell organized the more conservative American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) in Boston. These two groups later merged in 1890 to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) under the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton”,该句中并未提到男人是否可以加入全国妇女选举协会这个组织,因而答案是NOT GIVEN。)
5. FALSE
(根据题干关键词National Woman Suffrage Association(NWSA), less radical和American Woman Suffrage Association(AWSA)可定位到D部分倒数第一、二句“Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell organized the more conservative American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) in Boston. These two groups later merged in 1890 to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) under the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton”,通过这句话可知AWSA更保守一些,因此,可知答案应该是FALSE。)
6. NOT GIVEN
(根据题干关键词Abraham Lincoln和not sympathetic可定位到原文C段尾句“Abraham Lincoln declared, ‘This hour belongs to the negro’”,这句话只是林肯对黑人说的一句话,并不是它对于女权运动的态度,因此,答案是NOT GIVEN。)解析： 暂无解析
