The traditional belief that a woman’s place is in the home and that a woman ought not to go out to work can hardly be reasonably maintained (维持) in present conditions (条件). It is said that it is a woman’s task to care for the children, but families today tend to(倾向于) be small and with a year or two between children. Thus a woman’s whole period of child-bearing may be within five years and her role as chief educator of her children soon stops. Thus, even if we agree that a woman should stay at home to look after her children before they are of school age, for many women, this period would extend (延续) only for about ten years.
It might be argued (争议) that the house-proud woman would still find plenty to do about the home. That may be so, but it is certainly no longer necessary for a woman to spend her whole life cooking, cleaning, mending and sewing. Washing machines take the drudgery (单调乏味的工作) out of laundry, the latest models being entirely automatic (自动化的) and able to wash and dry a large quantity of clothes in a few minutes. Refrigerators (冰箱) have made it possible to store food for long periods. Shopping, instead of being a daily task, can be completed in one day a week.
Apart from women’s own happiness, the needs of the community must be considered. Modern society cannot do well without the contribution (贡献) that women can make in the professions and other kinds of work. There is a serious shortage(短缺) of nurses and teachers. It is extremely wasteful to give years of training at public expense only to have the qualified teacher or nurse marry after a year or two and he lost forever to her profession. The training, it is true, will help her in her duties as a mother, but if she continued to work, her service would be more widely useful. Many factories and shops, too, are largely staffed(任职) by women, many of them married. While here the question of training is not so important, industry and trade would be seriously short of staff if married women did not work.
The author holds that______.
选项
A、the right place for all women, married or otherwise, is the home, not elsewhere
B、all married women should have some occupation outside the home
C、a married woman should give first priority to her duties as a mother
D、it is desirable for uneducated married woman to stay at home and take care of the family
答案
B
解析
这个小题考查对作者在本文中持有的观点的理解。作者在文章一开头就指出: The traditional belief that a woman’s place is in the home and that a woman ought not to go out to work can hardly be reasonably maintained in present conditions.意思是:“妇女的位置是在家庭里以及妇女不应当外出工作这一传统观念,在今天的环境中已经没有理由再保持下去了。”在最后一段中,又说:It is extremely wasteful to give years of training at public expense only to have the qualified teacher or nurse marry after a year or two and be lost forever to her profession. The training, it is true, will help her in her duties as a mother, but if she continued to work, her service would be more widely useful.意为:“以公费获取多年的培训之后,那些取得了资格的教师或护士一、两年后就结婚并永远地离开了她们的职业,这真是极大的浪费。”而另一方面,Many factories and shops, too, are largely staffed by women, many of them married. While here the question of training is not so important, industry and trade would be seriously short of staff if married women did not work.意思是“许多工厂和商店也雇用大量妇女为其工作,虽然在这些地方,所受的培训不是那么重要,但是如果已婚妇女都不工作,那么工业和商业的劳动人员就会大大短缺。”也就是说,作者认为,不论是否受过专业教育,已婚妇女还是应该继续工作。B选项all married women should have some occupation outside the home“所有已婚妇女都应该出门参加工作”,反映了作者所持的观点。A选项the right place for all women, married or otherwise, is the home, not elsewhere.“所有已婚或未婚妇女的位置都应该在家庭里,而不是在其他任何地方。”这是传统观念,而不是作者的观点。C选项a married woman should give first priority to her duties as a mother“已婚妇女应该优先履行母亲的职责”,这点虽然看起来没有错,但不是作者在本文里想要阐述的观点。D选项it is desirable for uneducated married woman to stay at home and take care of the family的意思是:“未受过足够教育的已婚妇女应该待在家里照顾家人。”从最后一段可以看出,这也不符合作者的观点。
