2020下半年大学英语四级阅读题训练（21）：女人的地位

作者：佚名文章来源：文都网点击数：更新时间：2020/11/28

    The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法学家) to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position.ric illnesses including depression often do not manifest themselves until the late teens or early 20s.

    4.Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?

    B. No, under no circumstances.

    D, Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.
    5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?

    B. The wife could manage her husband’s personal property.
    C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.
    D. The wife would not be deserted by her husband.
    1.[C] 词义推断题。第1段第2句指出了 decimum的作用，即与“彩礼”相当，作为保护妇女的工具。第4句以 “The decimum was...”的句式指出其定义，综合这两句，可断定选项C正确。
    2.[B] 推理判断题。文章第1句就表明妇女当时的地位很高，第1段最后两句表明妇女与其丈夫的地位并无不同，是平等的，因此可以推断本题答案应为B。
    3.[A] 推理判断题。本题考查例子与观点的关系。该例子是为了证明其前面，即第2段开头两句的观点,选项A是对这两句话的总结。
    4.[A]推理判断题。本题考査从例子的推断。根据Maria Vivas的例子可确定答案，而且从第2段第4句中的Having agreed with her husband可推断售卖妻子继承的财产必须先征得妻子的同意，因此选项A正确。
    5.[D] 事实细节题。可用排除法找出答案。第1段倒数第2句可证明选项A正确，第2段首句可证明选项B正确，第2段末句可表明选项C正确，只有选项D太绝对。
