M: Professor Barlow, why was Eleanor Roosevelt such an important woman in US history?
W: Well, (1)she was a very unusual woman. In her times, she did things that most women didn’t do.
M: Like what, for example?
W: Well, she worked in politics. When her husband was governor of New York, (2)he became sick and he couldn’t walk. So Eleanor did some of his work.
M: She traveled a lot for him, didn’t she?
W: Yes, (2)she traveled around New York and made political speeches for her husband. And she really enjoyed it.
M: And what did people in New York think of her then?
W: They loved her! So then, in 1933, when FDR became president of the US, Eleanor was already popular. She became a new kind of first lady.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, most first ladies wouldn’t very independent. But Eleanor wanted to be different. She had her own ideas, and she wanted to speak out about them.
M: What kind of ideas? Can you give me an example?
W: Sure. Eleanor wanted every person to go to school and have a good job. She especially wanted to help women, children, and the poor people. And she wanted peace in the world. So she spoke out her ideas. She wrote in newspapers; she spoke on the radio; and she travelled all over the world.
M: I know people everywhere respected her.
W: Yes, she was so strong and independent, and she really wanted to help people. But some people didn’t like her.
M: Really?
W: Look, (3)Eleanor was not a traditional woman. Some people said she was too strong and independent. They even said she was ugly.
M: Really?! How did Eleanor feel when she heard these things?
W: Well, Eleanor Roosevelt was a strong woman. So she just laughed.
M: Professor Barlow, there are so many books about Eleanor Roosevelt. Why did you want to write one, too?
W: Well, (4)I felt that most writers—especially men—didn’t really understand Eleanor’s life. I wanted to give a woman’s view.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, for example, everybody knows that FDR was not a good husband. So, many people said that Eleanor was unhappy all her life.
M: And what do you think?
W: I think that’s not true. I mean, of course Eleanor was unhappy for a while. Her husband didn’t love her anymore. And she was angry. For two years, she couldn’t eat or sleep well. But as time passed, Eleanor’s feeling changed. She stopped feeling angry.
M: Really?
W: Yes, Eleanor saw that a good marriage wasn’t the only way for her to be happy. (5)She remembered the important lessons she learned from her teacher, Marie Souvestre. And she decided to have an independent life.
M: Professor Barlow, thank you for talking with me today.
W: My pleasure.
1. Why Mas Eleanor Roosevelt such an important woman in US history?
2. Why did Eleanor travel a lot and make political speeches in New York?
3. Why some people didn’t like Eleanor?
4. Why did Professor Barlow want to write a new book about Eleanor?
5. According to the woman, how did Marie Souvestre help Eleanor?

选项 A、She wanted to make a stir in the media world.
B、She wanted to entertain the general reading public.
C、She thought Eleanor needed to be reevaluated.
D、She thought most writers didn’t understand Eleanor’s life.

答案D

解析 问题问为什么Barlow教授想写一本关于Eleanor的新书。Barlow即对话中的女士,她说,她觉得大部分作者,尤其是男性,没有真正了解Eleanor的生活,她想要从女性视角写。因此D“她认为大多数作家都不了解Eleanor的生活”正确。A“因为她想在媒体世界中制造轰动”和B“因为她想娱乐普通大众”没有推断依据。女士说的give a woman’s view并不代表要否认别人对Eleanor的评价,C“她认为Eleanor需要重新评价”不对。
