Question

　　Sociologists（社会学家）, working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60％ in Germany.

　　"Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men's world. " said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study.

　　Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won't be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children.

　　Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances.

　　Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in "Women's Liberation", "I don't wish I were a man," she says, "and I don't think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men—usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life.

Answer 1

【小题1】D

【小题2】B

【小题3】B

解析:

【小题1】这是一道概括主旨的题，答此题的依据是第三段内容。该段开头两句说的是男子任务重，那么不言而喻，家务活和教育子女的任务应由妇女承担；另有一些男士则公开反对妇女外出工作。可见，不少男士认为妇女的主要职责是在家料理家务。

【小题2】一些妇女持不同观点，文中第四段反映了她们的意见。这也正是文章的中心思想和作者的写作意图：争取人权平等，妇女自由，男女平等。

【小题3】安妮·哈珀不希望自己是男士，但她希望社会像对待男人一样对待她。她的想法也正是作者的意图。如最后一段写道：She also believes in “Women's Liberation.”然后她又列举了许多事实，其立意还是为了说明这一正确论点。
