The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote. In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal  status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay. Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced. The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs. In the same year the Equal Opportunities  Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to  show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made. Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry. In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s. Susan B. Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they  could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become  a  doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study. Many feminists were interested in other social issues. The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s. Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law. An important  issue  was  the  Equal  Rights  Amendment  (ERA),  which  was  intended  to  change  the Constitution. Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas. It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs,  etc. to discriminate against women. But women still find it hard to advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having high-level jobs. Many women also face the problem of the  second shift, i.e. the household chores. In the 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men. Although there is still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted. Question 26: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that in the 19th century, . A.

Briggs’ article on culture, Microsoft® Student 2008, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80. Culture is  a word in common use  with  complex  meanings,  and  is  derived,  like  the  term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to  such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education.  At  least  from  the  19th   century onwards,  under  the  influence  of  anthropologists  and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular  and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values. Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and  popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural  pattern, the use of the word culture has  been  strongly  influenced  by  conceptions  of  evolution  in  the  19th   century  and  of development in the 20th  century. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have twists

and turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural processes. What, for example, the word cultured means  has  changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history  ceased in the 20th  century to be central to school and university education. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As  cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized. The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The only non-problematic  definitions  go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge  culture  clashes, culture shock, and counter- culture, the range of reference is extremely wide. Question 71: According to the passage, the word culture . A. is related to the preparation and use of land for farming B. develops from Greek and Roman literature and history C. comes from a source that has not been identified D. derives from the same root as civilization does Question 72: It is stated in paragraph 1 that a cultured person . A. has a job related to cultivation                         B. takes care of the soil and what grows on it C. has knowledge of arts, literature, and music  D. does a job relevant to education Question 73: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that . A. share the same word formation pattern B. are both related to agriculture and cultivation C. have nearly the same meaning D. do not develop from the same meaning Question 74: It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century . A. schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history B. classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects C. classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as compulsory subjects D. all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history Question 75: The word “attributes” in paragraph 1 most likely means . A. aspects                       B. fields                         C. qualities                     D. skills Question 76: The word “static” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “ ”. A. regular                       B. balanced                    C. unchanged                 D. dense Question 77: Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage? A. Anthropology and sociology have tried to limit the references to culture. B. Distinctions have been drawn between culture and civilization. C. The word culture can be used to refer to a whole way of life of people. D. The use of the word culture has been changed since the 19th century. Question 78: It is difficult to give the definitions of the word culture EXCEPT for its . A. agricultural and medical meanings                  B. historical and figurative meanings C. philosophical and historical meanings             D. sociological and anthropological meanings Question 79: Which of the following is NOT true about the word culture? A. It is a word that cannot be defined.                B. Its use has been considerably changed. C. It differs from the word civilization. D. It evolves from agriculture. Question 80: The passage mainly discusses . A. the distinction between culture and civilization B. the figurative meanings of the word culture C. the derivatives of the word culture D. the multiplicity of meanings of the word culture ---------- THE END ----------
