While no woman has been President of
the United States, yet the world does have several thousand years of experience
with female leaders, and I have to acknowledge it: their historical record puts
men’s to shame. A notable share of the great leaders in history
have been women: Queen Hatshepsut and Cleopatra of Egypt, Empress Wu Zetian of
China, Isabella of Castile, Queen Elizabeth I of England, Catherine the Great of
Russia, and Maria Theresa of Austria. Granted, I’m neglecting the likes of
Bloody Mary, but it’s still true that those women who climbed to power in
monarchies had an astonishingly high success rate. Research by
political psychologists points to possible explanations. Scholars find that
women, compared with men, tend to excel in consensus-building and certain other
skills useful in A. Women have had a better record than men throughout history. B. Women have far exceeded men in leadership throughout history. C. Women have made men ashamed of their own historical record. D. Women have far exceeded men in recording experience throughout history.

Roger Rosenblatt’s book Black Fiction,
in attempting to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its
subject, successfully alters the approach taken by most previous studies. As
Rosenblatt notes, criticism of Black writing has often served as a pretext for
illustrating Black history. Addison Gayle’s recent work, for instance, judges
the value of Black fiction by overtly political standards, rating each work
according to the notions of Black identity that it propounds.
Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances, its
authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological, and talking
about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology avoids cleverly
much of the fictional enterprise. Rosenblatt’s literary analysis discloses ties
and connections among works of Black fictio A. emphasizes purely literary aspect of such fiction B. misinterprets the ideological content of such fiction C. misunderstands the notions of Black identity contained in such fiction D. substitutes political for literary criteria in evaluating such fiction
[单项选择] {{B}}TEXT B{{/B}} Affirmative action may not
be the most divisive issue on the ballot, but it remains an unending source of
conflict and debate at least in Michigan, whose citizens are pondering a
proposal that would ban affirmative action in the public sector. No one knows
whether other states will follow Michigan’s lead, but partisans on both sides
see the vote as crucial--a decision that could either help or hinder a movement
aimed at ending "preferential treatment" programs once and for all.
Ward Connerly has no doubts about the outcome. "Them may be some ups and
downs.., with regard to affirmative action, but it’s ending," .says Connerly,
the main mover behind the Michigan proposal, who pushed almost identical
propositions to passage in California 10 years ago and in Washington state two
years later. His adversaries are equally passionate. "I just want to shout from
the rooftops, ’This isn’t good for America’," says Mary A. Approval. B. Disapproval. C. Objective. D. Difficult to tell.
