问题 共用题干New Changes in American Life
Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families,while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children.______(46)But by the middle of this centu- ry,men's and women's roles were becoming less firmly fixed.
In the 1950s,economic and social success was the goal of the typical American.But in the l960s a new force developed called the counterculture.______(47)The counterculture presen- ted men and women with new role choices.Taking more interest in childcare,men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives.In fact,some young men and women moved to communal homes or farms where the economic and childcare responsibilities were shared equally by both se- xes.______(48)Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Viet-nam。
In terms of numbers,the counterculture was not a very large group of people.______(49) Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns.Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on“overtime”work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families.Some doctors,lawyers,and teachers turned away from high paying situa-tions to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.
In the 1970s,the feminist movement,or women's liberation,produced additional economic and social changes.Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater numbers.______(50)But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations: police work,banking,dentistry,and construction work.Women were asking for equal work,and equal opportunities for promotion.
Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women.Naturally,there are difficulties in adjusting to these transformations.______(48)A: In addition,many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier.B: Most of them still took traditional women's jobs as public school teaching,nursing,and secretarial work.C: These roles were firmly fixed for most people,and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles.D: But its influence spread to many parts of American society.E: The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals.F: A great many jobs that used to belong to men are now taken by women.
选项 ______(48)
A: In addition,many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldier.
B: Most of them still took traditional women's jobs as public school teaching,nursing,and secretarial work.
C: These roles were firmly fixed for most people,and there was not much opportunity for women to exchange their roles.
D: But its influence spread to many parts of American society.
E: The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals.
F: A great many jobs that used to belong to men are now taken by women.
答案 A
解析 空格46后面的句子中出现了一个比较级“less firmly”，这说明空格中也应有这样一个副词。从句意上看，空格后面的句子以转折词but引导，说明该句与空格中的句子成转折关系。综合考虑，本题选C。
空格47所在段落主要是在谈论20世纪50年代的“反文化”运动给传统意义下的美国男女作用时比带来的影响。选项中只有E项出现了“the movement”这个词组，所以大致圈定选项E。从上下文来看，选项E实际上是该段中所谈到的变化的总括，故选E。
空格48后面的句子是在讲许多年轻人不愿服兵役参加越战，该句与段落中其他句子没有直接联系，这说明空格中的句子应该是承上启下的连接句。选项A中出现“in addition”连接上文，“male role of soldier”照应下文，这表明A项是合适的选项。
空格所在的段落继续谈论“反文化”运动对美国社会的影响，但从上下文来看，该段已不仅仅在说对男女角色关系的影响，所以与上段之间缺少一个连接句来照应。选项 D的意思是“它影响到美国社会的很多方面”，符合题意，故选D。
本段主要是说美国女权运动所带来的影响，妇女们大量加入劳动力大军。空格50 后面的句子以but引导，这说明两句话之间是对比关系。后者是说明妇女从事了一些以前本属于男人的工作，那么空格所在的句子也就应该是说妇女从事一些传统的工作，这就是选项B的意思，故选B。
