At a party for Ms.magazine’s 40th birthday,the Canadian writer Ann Dowsett Johnston waited for an audience with Gloria Steinem,hoping to cull wisdom for her research on women and alcohol.“Alcohol?”Steinem said to Johnston.looking“dismissive.”“Alcohol is not a women’s issue.”
Steinem may have been hasty.We know that many women report drinking more often in recent decades,that they are drinking more when they do,and that the physiological impact and social meaning of it all is different for women than for men.Women are the engine of growth for the American wine market and are being arrested for drunken driving more often than before.How much alarm should be invested in those observations is up for debate in both Johnston’s book.Drink:The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol,and Her Best-Kept Secret:Why Women Drink-and How They Can Regain Control,by the American journalist Gabrielle Glaser,the second of which makes the more pointed case.
Johnston turns in part to gauzy memory to make the case that female alcohol consumption is then egative byproduct of modern complexities and the pressure for women to be “perfect.”“I don’t remember my grandmothers suffering from this syndrome,”she asserts.
“Women who raised families during the Depression,who baked and gardened and read well;who were fundamentally happy,and felt no pressure to look like stick figures.”Well.Depression-era women’s lives were more circumscribed and less weighted with the pretext of “choice,”sure.But were these women,all in all,“fundamentally happy” ?And were they less eager for a fix when they could get it?
A temptation for many trend journalists and headline writers is to see women’s higher rates of alcohol abuse and dependency as the uneasy consequence of female liberation.Glaser acknowledges that alcohol provides a form of self-medication during a time of dizzying changes in women’s lives,but she is skeptical of the notion that alcoh01 abuse is the price of too much liberation.Her concise assessment:“Women are drinking more because they can.”Indeed,whereas Johnston often casts women as the victims of institutions,Glaser seems more interested in asking why institutions aren’t serving women’s needs better.Either way,what’s at stake is how we respond to the byproducts of equality that fit less comfortably on a placard.
What can we infer from the first sentence in Paragraph 2?
选项
A、Steinem is right.
B、Steinem is swift.
C、Women drink too fast.
D、Women relate to alcohol.
答案
D
解析
本题为推断题。根据题干关键词定位到第二段。首句的关键词是hasty,表示“轻率的,草率的;匆忙的”,整句话句意为“斯泰纳姆的判断可能有点轻率”。而斯泰纳姆的判断是第一段末句的“酒精跟女人无关”,故D项“女人和酒精有关”为正确答案。A项“斯泰纳姆是正确的”和B项“斯泰纳姆是反应快的”与文意相反。C项“女人喝得太快”原文没有提及,是对hasty的误解。
