问题 [A] The old generations, especially those that live in the city suburbs, are bewildered and disturbed by this trend. It is all against the great American tradition of the" home" as the symbol of the unified family.
[B] American women seem to have more self-confidence than women from most other countries. For years they have felt no inferiority whatsoever to the male sex. Therefore visitors to the USA rarely meet militant feminists.
[C] Western states were the first to give women the vote. Between 1869 and the outbreak of World War Ⅰ, seventeen states west of the Mississippi gave women the right to vote in state election and Representatives. It was until 1920 that the Federal Government under pressure by suffragettes (women insisting on their right to vote), followed the states’ lead and permitted women to take part in national elections for Congresswomen and the President.
[D] Few American girls agree with the extreme feminists who deride marriage and romantic love, but more and more of them are prepared to live with a man outside marriage, often with the intention of buying a home and marrying only when, between them, they have saved enough money. Young couples today share both the household chores and care of the baby.
[E] There are women executives of some important industries and businesses. In fact there are women in most jobs which were formerly reserved for men. There are women lawyers, doctors, architects, as well as women bus drivers, but the ordinary working women will earn less than a man gets for doing the same job—although there is a law which makes this illegal. American girls tend to marry young, which means that 60% of the women in work are married. This also helps to explain why so many young married couples have such a high standard of living.
[F] Women have made great strides since then in achieving political equality. Recently, American feminists have been working hard to achieve social and economic equality as well as political. Their belief is that, as there is nothing that women cannot do just as well as men, they should be shown the same respect and have the same social rights and the same pay as their male counterparts. Anything less is discrimination and sexism.
[G] The American woman makes the most of her free time. She helps with political campaigns. She sits on committees. She goes to classes of all kinds, from health foods to English literature, from environmental studies to karate. She swims, plays tennis, and she takes an active interest in her children’s education. In most of these activities her companions are other housewives from her neighborhood.

【C5】
选项
答案E
解析 通过上面的描述得知，美国女性的地位同过去相比发生了彻底性的变化，[E]中首句无疑是对这一变化的最好总结“事实上她们在许多行业和生意中是重要的执行官。”并指出这些在以前都是不可能的。由此得出[E]为正确答案。
