Module4 Which English？ Ⅰ.阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 A Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意识形态) that biology is destiny.According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life.Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally.Thus，they are naturally suited，much more so than men，to the performance of domestic (家庭的) duties.A woman's place，under normal circumstances，is within the protective environment of the home.Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles，such as wife and mother and homemaker.On the other hand，men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics，where serious responsibilities must be taken on.Men are to be the providers；women and children are “dependents”． The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.It is appropriate for women，not men，to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers，house－hold helpers, clerks and secretaries.These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role.Informal distinctions between “women's work” and “men's work” in the labor force, according to the ideology，are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes. |
