A subtle distinction in the way women are singled out
by the language is evident in the way that the same personality 【M1】______
trait is characterized approvingly for one sex and denigrated
for the other. However, if a man is aggressive, he is considered 【M2】______
a go-getter, a serf-starter, while a woman is considered pushy
or a castrating bitch. If a woman consistently agrees to her 【M3】______
boss, she will be thought bright, a man will be called a yes-man 【M4】______
or an ass-licker.
Many of these discrepancies involve in words that deal directly 【M5】______
or indirectly in women’s sexuality. In fact, one linguist has 【M6】______
even made the case "lady" is used as a euphemism for 【M7】______
"woman," in that "woman’’ implies at sexuality, while "lady" 【M8】______
is desexed. Certainly, "woman" is a word that can imply the
presence not only of sex, but also of power, which "lady" cannot.
A lady doctor or Ladies’ Lib would simply be incongruous.
Although women are used harshly by language, they are not in
their own turn allowed to using harsh language. Women’ s language 【M9】______
in English, at least according to stereotype, does not contain
swear words. Robin Lakoff distinguished another character 【M10】______
of women’s speech, the tag-form sentence: a statement of fact
undercut by a final question. "We are going tomorrow, aren’t we?"
"This is a terrific play, isn’t it?" Even when a woman is assertive,
she often shows token of apparent passivity, as ff all her assertions
were only tentative. [br] 【M1】
选项
答案
删去language之前的定冠词the。
解析
本题辨析冠词的用法。the language指具体的某一种语言,是特指。而从全文来看,这里谈的并不是某一特定语言中的性别差异,而是指普遍意义上的语言中存在的性别差异,所以应该用零冠词,表类指。
