Almost everyone knows the meaning of Mr., Mrs. and Miss. People use Mr. with men’s last names. And Mrs. is for married women and Miss is for single (单身的) women. But what is Ms?

For some time, people in the United States use Ms. before a woman’s name when they do not know whether the woman is married or not. Today many people like to use Ms. Some women feel that it is not important for people to know whether they are married or not.

There are some problems with Ms. Not all women like it. Some like the old ways of doing things. They find it difficult to pronounce (发音) the word. But young people like it.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Mrs./people usually use Mrs. before married women’s name.

【2】When they do not know whether the woman is married or not.

【3】Yes./Yes，it is.

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了Mrs, Miss和Ms的用法。在已婚妇女的名字前用Mrs，在单身妇女的名字前加Miss。在美国人们经常在不知道这位妇女是否已婚时，会在这位妇女的名字前加Ms。

【1】根据And Mrs. is for married women可知在已婚妇女的名字前用Mrs.故此处的答案为Mrs.或people usually use Mrs. before married women’s name.

【2】根据For some time, people in the United States use Ms. before a woman’s name when they do not know whether the woman is married or not.可知在美国人们经常在不知道这位妇女是否已婚时，会在这位妇女的名字前加Ms。故此处的答案为When they do not know whether the woman is married or not.

【3】根据They find it difficult to pronounce (发音) the word.可知人们很难发音Ms。故此处用肯定回答，故为Yes./Yes，it is.
