第27~30题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项分别完成每个句子。 1.Women’s rights are
guarantees of political, social, and economic equality for women in a society
that traditionally gives more power and freedom to men. Among these rights are
control of property, equality of opportunity in education and employment, right
of voting, and freedom of marriage. Today, complete political, economic, and
social equality with men re-mains to be achieved. 2.Male
control was obvious from the time of the earliest written historical records,
probably as a result of men’s role in hunting and warfare. The belief that women
were naturally weaker and inferior to men was also found in god-centered
religions. Therefore, in most traditional societies, women generally were at a
disadvantage. Their education was limited to learning domestic skills, and they
had no access to positions of power. A woman had no legal control over her
person, her own land and money, or her children. 3.The Age of
Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution, which caused economic and social
progress, provided a favorable climate for the rise of women’s rights movement
in the late 18th and 19th century. In 1848 more than 100 persons held the first
women’s rights convention in New York, and the feminists demanded equal rights,
including the vote. 4.In the late 1960s women made up about 40
percent of the work force in England, France, Germany, and the United States.
This figure rose to more than 50 percent by the mid-1981s. A commission under
the President was established in 1960 to consider equal opportunities for women.
Acts of Congress entitled them to equality in education, employment, and legal
rights. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act, initially-intended only for blacks was
extended to women. 5.The obiectives of the women’s movement
included equal pay for equal work, federal sup-port for day-care centers,
recognition of lesbian(女性同性恋) rights, making abortion legal, and the focus of
serious attention on the problems of forced sex relations, wife and child
beating, and discrimination against older and minority women.
