Passage 3 I don't
believe that men have deliberately turned us into slaves, as one of your
correspondents writes. {{U}}(1) {{/U}} I do know that many women are
exploited at work. There must be equal pay {{U}}(2) {{/U}} equal work,
and where this is not the case, the abuse must be resisted at all costs.
I don't believe that men {{U}}(3) {{/U}} us their
mental inferiors. But I do know that there's still a great {{U}}(4)
{{/U}} of prejudice against women. Certain jobs are still considered to be
for men {{U}}(5) {{/U}}, for example top jobs in industry, in the
government and the law. This sort of {{U}}(6) {{/U}} must be resisted at
all costs. We are born with brains just as good as men's, and
{{U}}(7) {{/U}} we are not expected to use them. It all begins in the
home and at school, {{U}}(8) {{/U}} girls are expected to play a smaller
{{U}}(9) {{/U}} than boys, and to be less {{U}}(10) {{/U}}
I was lucky. I was brought up with the idea of {{U}}(11)
{{/U}} something to society--not just to sit at home waiting for
{{U}}(12) {{/U}}. As a result, I {{U}}(13) {{/U}} some people
would call me a successful 'career girl', but let me {{U}}(14) {{/U}}
you, I enjoy it, and my family doesn't {{U}}(15) {{/U}}
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】本题测试连词。and表示并列；but表示转折；therefore与hence表示因果。前面一句话说的是“I don't believe…”，本句话说的是“I do know…”，说明这两句话为转折关系，所以应该选But。
【答案解析】本题测试搭配。所填之词必须带复合宾语“us their mental inferiors”。consider意为“认为”，后面可以接sb./sth.，(as)sb./sth.；employ意为“雇用”，后面只能接sb./sth.；think意为“认为”，后面如果要接复合宾语，通常构成think of sb./sth.as…结构；treat意为“对待”，通常构成treat sb./sth.as…短语。根据句子可知，应该选consider。

【答案解析】本题测试异义词。attitude意为“态度”；treatment意为“对待”；prejudice意为“偏见，歧视”；oppression意为“压力，压迫”。根据前面的句子“…there is still a great deal of prejudice against women．”可知，应该选prejudice。
