The author’s experiences of running for office indicate that her every attempt to go upward in politics was met with men’s strong disapproval. [ T ]4). Although women suffer prejudice in job recruitment, they still enjoy the same opportunities as men in career development. [ F ]5). According to the author, her major responsibility in politics is to affirm the role of women in the country. [ T ]II. Writing StrategiesThe title of the pass age seems to suggest that the article is mainly about the author’s personal experiences in politics. But careful readers will find that the author integrates such experiences into the general situation of women, which is more poignant than the racial problem, thus intensifying and broadening the theme.The author mainly employs three devices: comparison, rhetorical questions and parallelism. Comparison is used between blacks and females, both of whom suffer prejudices, and between men and women for their respective roles in politics and for their career opportunities; rhetorical questions and parallelism are used to highlight the emotive force of the passage.Now you are required:1. to differentiate the author’s personal experiences from the general situa tion of women;2. to identify and study the rhetorical questions and parallelisms used in the passage.Key:1. The author’s personal experiences: Paragraphs 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13.The common situation of women: Paragraphs 2, 4, 6, 10, 11, 15.2.

According to an article in the Harvard Business Review by Alice H. Eagly and Linda L. Carli, the answer is “No.” However, the sum of many obstacles along the way often holding women back from making it into the C-suite. Carol Hymowitz and Timothy D. Schellhardt were the first to use the term “glass ceiling” on their March 24, 1986 article in the Wall Street Journal, “The Glass Ceiling: Why Women Can’t Seem to Break the Invisible Barrier That Blocks Them from the Top Job.” The term resonated to women around the world because it captured our frustrations — and the term “glass ceiling” has now become commonplace. However, Eagly and Carli believe a better metaphor for what confronts women in their careers is the term “labyrinth” because it “conveys the idea of a complex journey toward a goal worth striving for. Passage through a labyrinth is not simple or direct, but requires persistence, aware of one’s progress, and a careful analysis of the the puzzles that lie ahead.” How can you make your way to the career labyrinth? According to Eagly and Carli, women need to better understand the barriers that make of the labyrinth, determine how successful women find ways around these barriers, and then attack all barriers to advancement simultaneously.(1) beneath(2) holds(3) in(4) with(5) awareness(6) through(7) up6. Fill in each blank in the passage below with ONE appropriate word.The Female’s ChoiceScientists (1) studying how females choose their mates have found many similarities between species, (2) including humans. It seems that females in most species prefer to mate with flashy males — the most brightly colored, or (3) those with the most lively courtship displays.Females generally shop around for their mates, sometimes comparing them on the spot in groups, or more commonly, one at a time. Scientists have shown that female fish are (4) able to remember and compare the characteristics of males presented separately. The females showed more interest if one male was more colorful than the one before him.(5) Whether the females are fish or birds, they generally choose the most colorful male, or the one who (6) stands out in some way. With tree frogs, it is the male that can call the loudest and most often. With ducks, it is the males that court the females most often.In some species, the female prefers males that can (7) provide some direct benefit, such as food or protection. If males do not provide such obvious benefits, females may choose the males with the best genes. They measure this by the males’ fitness. Female guppies, for example, seem to prefer bold males — those that will swim closest to a predator fish. Because the more colorful males seem to have more courage, females have developed a preference for (8)colorful males.Recent evidence indicates that social factors can also influence the female's choice. In many species, females seem to be more interested in males that already have other (9) females. Scientists call this “copying,” and (10) younger females are more likely to copy older females than the opposite. Older females seem to know what they want. But younger females seem to be more willing to follow the crowd.Perhaps this accounts for the popular expression “Some guys get all the girls.”IV. Translation1.

最牛英语口语培训模式：躺在家里练口语，全程外教一对一，三个月畅谈无阻！洛基英语，免费体验全部在线一对一课程：/ielts/xd.html（报名网址）第六章省略英语句子有时复杂难辨的另一个原因是由于句子中的某些成分被省略掉了。

为了避免重复，增强所表达的意思的紧凑性、逻辑性和新颖性，常常把句子前部分已经交代过的人、事或动作在不影响语义内容表达连贯的情况下，从句子后部分的成分中省略掉。

省略一般出现在平行结构的后半部分或各类从句中。

被省略的部分大多是主语，谓语或者谓语的助动词等。

译文：然后，他把自己仅剩的两名女秘书传来，递给她们毒药胶囊，以备节节逼近的俄国人闯入后她们想服用时服用。

要点：句中的两个让步状语"whatever his rank, however rich or poor"是两个省略句。
