Question

　　Sociologists（社會學(xué)家）, working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60％ in Germany.

　　"Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men's world. " said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study.

　　Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won't be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children.

　　Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances.

　　Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in "Women's Liberation", "I don't wish I were a man," she says, "and I don't think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men—usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there…or engineers?"

Answer 1

【小題1】D

【小題2】B

【小題3】B

解析:

【小題1】這是一道概括主旨的題，答此題的依據(jù)是第三段內(nèi)容。該段開頭兩句說的是男子任務(wù)重，那么不言而喻，家務(wù)活和教育子女的任務(wù)應(yīng)由婦女承擔(dān)；另有一些男士則公開反對婦女外出工作�？梢�，不少男士認(rèn)為婦女的主要職責(zé)是在家料理家務(wù)。

【小題2】一些婦女持不同觀點，文中第四段反映了她們的意見。這也正是文章的中心思想和作者的寫作意圖：爭取人權(quán)平等，婦女自由，男女平等。

【小題3】安妮·哈珀不希望自己是男士，但她希望社會像對待男人一樣對待她。她的想法也正是作者的意圖。如最后一段寫道：She also believes in “Women's Liberation.”然后她又列舉了許多事實，其立意還是為了說明這一正確論點。
