We have known for a long time that the organization of any particular society is influenced by the definition of the sexes and the distinction drawn between them.But we have realized only recently that the identity of each sex is not so easy to pin down,and that definitions evolve in accordance with different types of culture known to us,that is,scientific discoveries and I deological revolutions.
Our nature is not considered as immutable,either socially or biologically.As we approach the beginning of the 21st century,the substantial progress made in biology and genetics is radically challenging the roles,responsilities and specific characteristics at tributed to each sex,and yet,scarcely twenty years ago,these were thought to be”beyond dispute”. We can safely say,with a few minor exceptions,that the definition of the sexes and their respective functions remained unchanged in the West from the beginning of the 19th century to the 1960s.
The role distinction,raised in some cases to the status of uncompromising dualism on a strongly hierarchical model,lasted throughout this period,appealing for its justification to nature,religion and customs alleged to have existed since the dawn of time.The woman bore children and took care of the home.The man set out to conquer the world and was re sponsible for the survival of his family,by satisfying their needs in peacetime and going to war when necessary.
The entire world order rested on the divergence of the sexes.Any overlapping or confusion between the roles was seen as a threat to the time—honored order of things.
It was felt to be against nature,a deviation from the norm. Sex roles were determined according to the”place”appropriate to each.Women’s place was,first and foremost,in the home.The outside world,i.e.workshops,factories and business firms,belonged to men.This sex-based division of the world(private and public)gave rise to a strict dichotomy between the attitudes,which conferred on each its special identity.The woman,sequestered at home,”cared,nurtured and conserved”.To do this,she had no need to be daring,ambitious,tough or competitive.
The man,on the other hand,competing with his fellow men,was caught up every day in the struggle for survival,and hence developed those characteristics which were thought natural in a man.
Today,many women go out to work,and their reasons for doing so have changed eonsiderably.Besides the traditional financial incentives,we find ambition and personal fulfillment motivating those in the most favorable circumstances,and the wish to have a sociallire and to get out of their domestic isolation influencing others.Above all,for all women,work.is invariably connected with the desire for independence.
From paragraph I we can infer that it is now possible for women to embark on a career because________.
选项
A、the change in sex roles is Out of the question
B、women’s lib has been going on for many years
C、ideas about the roles of women have been changing
D、the expansion of sciences scarcely remolds the women’s roles
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。本题问:从第一段可以推理,为什么现在妇女可以从事一种职业?第1段最后两句写道:“不能认为我们的本性在社会的或生理的方面来看是不可改变的。随着我们接近21世纪,生物学和遗传学方面所取得的巨大进步正在从根本上对属于每一种性别的角色、职责和特征提出挑战,可是在不到20年以前,上述观点还被认为是‘无可争辩的。”由此推理,现在妇女可以从事一种职业,因为有关妇女角色的观念一直在改变。故应选C。A项the changc in sex roles is out of the qLlestion(性别角色的改变是不可能的)具有较强的干扰性。out of the qLlestion意为“不可能的”。有的考生之所以选A项是因为把out of the question错误地理解为“毫无疑问的”。D项the expansion of sciences searcely remolds the women’s roles(科学的发展几乎没有改变妇女的角色)属正反颠倒,故不能入选。
