2022年考博英语-厦门大学考试题库及全真模拟冲刺卷（含答案带详解）1. 单选题First there was a Washington Post article published shortly after the elections on the presumptive new House speaker, Muted Tones of Quiet Authority：A Look Suited to the Speaker. It offered the information that Pelosis suit was by Giorgio Armanithe Italian master of neutral tones and modern power dressingand she wore it well. The article at least appeared in the newspapers Style section,but was chockfull of psychoanalytic forays into Pelosis wardrobe choices,asserting that an Armani suit,for a woman, is a tool for playing with the boys without pretending to be one. I would wager that Pelosi is one woman who doesnt play around with anyone.Then there was a New York Times article in January in its Thursday Styles section titled Speaking Chic to Power. While noting that Pelosi,barely in her new job a month,had brought the House to votes on a minimum wage increase,stem cell research and Medicare drug prices,the article said she did it looking preternaturally fresh, with a wardrobe that .white still subdued and over-reliant on suits, has seldom spruced the halls of Congress.Similar articles appeared in the Baltimore Sun and Chicago Tribune. Mentioned were other women politicians and their fashion choices,such as Sen. Hillary Clintons hair style and preference for black pantsuits or Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultzs haircut. The question is whether focusing on the clothing choices of serious female political players risks rendering them less than serious. Another question is whether such reports warrant precious space. After all,with rare exceptions,male politicians are seldom scrutinized for their choice of suits.Some reporters and editors havent figured out a way to cover female politicians that doesnt rely on the old stereotypes,says Gail Dines,sociology and womens studies professor at Wheelock College in Boston.To be a woman politician,you have to strategize and work hard,and yet what matters is what designer youre wearing. Its a way to make women in power less scary, Dines notes.Its putting women into a comfort zone for those who are still baffled by how to treat strong women.The articles seem a throwback to a time when women were only spouses,not players,says Ruth Mandel, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. To focus on their attire,the cut of their clothes.is to be in danger of trivializing who they are,the important role they play and the meaning behind womens advancement to positions of power: That is, were moving to a true democracy of shared leadership.The problem is the media havent quite caught up. A woman who rises to a leadership position at any level is going to dress appropriately, says Kathleen Hall Jamieson, professor at the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania. It underscores her competence and is not a distraction. You take for granted that it would not be worthy of comment any more. Jamieson thinks the underlying motivation for reporting on female politicians style is the natural news interest in talking about what changes,and men dont look different. There is a uniform for men in power and we all know that it looks like. The only thing to change is the color of the shirt or tie. Because women have greater fashion options,changes they make are more obvious and invite analysis. Now that Pelosis uniform has been established, that should be the end of it. Ditto for Clinton. Clinton now has a range of what she wears. Jamieson says. She hasnt been changing hairstyles or her pantsuits. That is our definition of what she wears,and that should end it.Tom Rosenstiel,director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism,thinks reporting that describes women politicians appearance is justified in profiles of them. Female politicians will certainly survive such silly coverage,and some argue the stories are harmless. But these women are role models for young women and offer an alternative to the fashion model and celebrity in setting the standard for female beauty and worth.Dines worries that when the media emphasize the appearance of women,it perpetuates attitudes in the larger world that devalue and limit women. These are fortunate, privileged women, Dines notes of politicians, but for young women trying to make it in the world, how they look can affect their opportunities. 1.The passage mainly about （ ） .2.Which of the following is NOT true of Pelosi?3.Which of the following is true of male political leaders?4.Some people contend the media （ ） .5.Professor Jamieson believes that （ ） .问题1选项A.the captious coverage of powerful women attireB.fashionable women leaders in the USAC.the seriousness of female political playersD.the importance of making powerful women less scary问题2选项A.She was covered in the newspaper fashion section.B.She brought some controversial idea
