问题 According to the passage, job segregation by sex in the United States was______ [br] Which of the following words best expresses the opinion of the author of the passage concerning the notion that women are more skillful than men in carrying out detailed tasks?
选项 A、“patient” (line 21)
B、“repetitive” (line 21)
C、“hoary” (line 22)
D、“homemaking” (line 23)
E、“purview” (line 24)
答案 C
解析 The best answer is C. The author of the passage uses the word “hoary” in line 22 to characterize the kinds of stereotypes about women that mill owners imported into the new industrial order. Through this word, the author expresses a negative opinion about stereotypes propagating the notion women are more skillful than men in carrying out certain tasks. Choices A and B can be eliminated because the author uses them to paraphrase the assumptions of the mill owners about the kinds of work women excelled at; the mill owners subscribed to the very stereotypes that the author describes as “hoary.” Choices D and E are incorrect because the words “homemaking” and “purview” do not convey attitudes.
