问题    Almost everyone knows the meaning of Mr., Mrs. and Miss. Mr. is used before the names of men. Mrs., is for married women and Miss is for single women. But what is Ms.?
   For some time businessmen in the United States have used Ms. before a woman’s name when they do not know whether the woman is married or not. Today, however, many women prefer to use Ms. rather than Mrs. or Miss. The word Mr. does not tell us whether or not a man is married. Many women think this is an advantage (优势) for men. They want to be equal (平等) to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know whether they are married or not.
   There are some problems with Ms., however. Not all women like it. Some like the older ways of doing things. Some find it difficult to pronounce. Generally, young women like it better than older women do. It is difficult to know whether or not Ms. will be used by more American women in the future. [br] The author of this passage mainly wants to tell ______.
选项 A、the word Ms. is an advantage for all women
B、how the word Ms. has come into use
C、Ms. is different from Mr., Mrs. and Miss
D、Businessmen use Ms. when they do not know if a woman is married
答案 B
解析 这是一道考查主旨大意的题。从全文来看，作者主要介绍了Ms.这个词的由来以及不同的人对使用该词的看法。所以B是最合适的答案。
