SAT阅读长难句分析_女人的性别劣势
性别差异对高中生英语阅读理解的影响及应对策略
性别差异对高中生英语阅读理解的影响及应对策略作者:张彦军来源:《校园英语·上旬》2014年第02期摘要:男女生在英语学习中往往存在一定的差异,女生在记忆背诵方面一般优于男生,而男生在逻辑思维方面和对语言的间接兴趣方面占有优势。
在教学实践中发现这种差异在某些学校的男女生中尤为明显。
本文试图找出这种差异的具体表现,并尝试根据男女生的不同特点,找到优势互补的有效的教学方式,以进一步提高教学质量。
关键词:性别差异;影响;应对策略一、研究背景和前提阅读是人类获得知识和信息最常用、最基本的方法。
英语学习者要掌握作为第二语言的英语的完整的系统知识,阅读是最重要的有效途径。
《普通高级中学英语课程标准》指出:高中英语课程应强调在进一步发展学生综合语言运用能力的基础上,着重提高学生用英语获得信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。
在曾教过的两个班级中,一个是男生居多的理科班,其英语平均成绩在整个年级中处于中等位置,而另外一个是女生居多的英语特色班,其英语平均成绩在整个年级中处于第一的位置。
每次考试,两个班级在英语的平均分上都有明显差异,英语特色班的平均分往往比理科班高出不少。
出现这样的现象是在所难免的,男女生在英语成绩上的差异是教学过程中一个十分常见的现象。
但是在一次英语月考中,出现了一个特殊的现象。
那次英语月考总体上比较难,特别是阅读部分的文章选自原版材料,其中还有一篇有关最新电脑技术的科技说明文。
那次英语月考的平均分,两个班虽然都比较低,但当对各部分进行统计后发现,理科班的阅读平均分要比特色班整整高出五至六分。
那次考试之后,笔者开始有意识地统计大小考试中两个班级的学生在各部分的得分,最终发现了这样一个规律:男生在阅读上的平均得分总是高于女生或和女生不相上下,而其他部分,如语法、词汇、听力、写作上的得分,女生总是遥遥领先。
担任备课组组长后,笔者有了更多的机会了解这方面的情况,发现在一些学校确实存在这种情况。
女性优点和缺点的英语作文
女性优点和缺点的英语作文Women, like men, possess a multitude of strengths and weaknesses. These attributes shape their character and influence their interactions with the world around them. On one hand, women are often praised for their nurturing and empathetic nature. They are typically more in tune with their emotions and are able to express themselves more openly. Women are also excellent communicators, often utilizing empathy and intuition to connect with others on a deep level. Additionally, women are known for their resilience and ability to multitask, balancing various responsibilities with grace and poise. 女性像男性一样,拥有许多优点和缺点。
这些特质塑造了她们的性格,并影响着她们与周围世界的互动。
一方面,女性常因其养育和富有同情心的天性而受到赞扬。
她们通常更能感受到自己的情绪,并能更加坦诚地表达自己。
女性还是优秀的沟通者,常常运用同情心和直觉与他人建立深层联系。
此外,女性以她们的韧性和多任务处理能力而闻名,在优雅与风度之中平衡着各种责任。
On the other hand, women are often deemed as being more emotional and sensitive, which can sometimes lead to being perceived as weak or vulnerable. Society has traditionally placedexpectations on women to fulfill certain gender roles, such as being the primary caregiver or being more nurturing in their approach. This can create pressure for women to fit into these predefined roles, limiting their individuality and potential for personal growth. Many women also face barriers in the workplace, as they are often underestimated or overlooked in male-dominated environments. This can lead to a lack of confidence and self-doubt, hindering their ability to fully assert themselves. 另一方面,女性常被视为更加情绪化和敏感,这有时会导致被认为是软弱或脆弱。
SAT考试阅读长难句分析并非完美的自信
在SAT考试中,阅读部分是比较容易得分的,但是也有些长难句不是那么好理解,这也给我们拿到SAT考试高分带来了一定的阻碍,因此三立教育给大家整理了一些SAT考试阅读长难句分析,下面我们来看其中篇。
以下来自官方指南第3题的小说,描述被Lady Carlotta恶作剧的一位贵族太太。
She was one of those imperfectly self-assured individuals who are magnificent and autocratic as long as they are not seriously opposed. The least show of unexpected resistance goes a long way towards rendering them cowed and apologetic.生词注解:self-assured有自信的autocratic 独裁的,独断专行的cowed 被吓到的apologetic 愧疚的render 使成为简译:她属于这样一种人:这种人的自信并不是完美的自信,他们平时气势宏伟,独断专行,但是千万不要有人故意顶撞他们,因为只要出现他们未料到的抵制,这就会让他们立刻气势被打消,变得懦弱和充满歉意。
三立在线课程培训优势班级种类:(预约试听和科学选班请详询老师)一对一在线授课班,其优势:一对一是指听说读写都由不同的老师教授,而不是由一位老师负责学生的全部课程。
再加上督导顾问,总共是5位老师服务1位学员。
一对一可以依据学生自身的优势弱势打造独一无二的学习计划,既避免了已熟悉知识点的无意义重复,又不会将学生还没掌握的重点难点一带而过。
这不但大大节约了学习时间,提高了学习效率,而且又有人随时督促,提高学习积极性。
同时在线授课突破时空限制,再忙的学员都能将有限的空闲时间利用起来;异地学员也能享受到海外名师授课,这在传统教学中是无法做到的。
SAT阅读高频主题之人权类详解
三立教育SAT阅读高频主题之人权类详解规律小总结:女权话题是常见的内容,要么是单篇不带表格,要么就是双篇对比,大多出现在第二篇或第四篇。
关于女权运动,都是追求独立自由平等意识,“直男癌”的宝宝们,最好树立一些女权思想,三观要贴合考官出题选材的思路,女权运动的基本选题思tao路lu:1 过去旧时代,男权统治高高在上,这个现象不好不行,造成很多社会问题,甚至到男同胞都良心痛的地步,要批判要改革,要进步要解放女人的天性。
选答案的时候注意审题干读清楚历史时间段和问题的对象,是男人角度还是女人角度。
三观要正!2 社会发展新时代,女人要求独立自由平等,但是——并不是绝对的平等,因为这个不符合“男女有别”的基本理念。
不能一刀切要求绝对的平等,所以选答案的时候注意,要承认男女有别(双篇的冲突对立矛盾点就在这个问题上),即性别可以不同,承认体力生理差异,但是个性,机会,要平等,有选择的机会和余地。
特别是职业选择,政治选举权方面,千万不要“直男癌”要求女人在家相夫教子,洗衣做饭,一定要鼓励支持女人追求高等教育,积极参与社会活动等。
做双篇的话一定要审题干读清楚到底是谁的立场——作者的,还是文中引用某人的,哪个作者看待哪个论点,务必审题仔细!3 黑人奴隶的人权解放,自由平等,而且尤其是黑人女性追求独立自由平等,是最值得同情悲悯,鼓励支持的社会群体。
黑奴问题相对于女权运动的出题频率,目前根据已经考过的这么多次这么多套题来看,还是很低频,仅有2次/28套。
所以重点关注女权运动,黑奴问题三观也要正!4 请务必记住:三观贴合考官爸爸们的出题意图,审清楚题干问题的导向,指向性,读清楚原文的三观立场,想清楚考官要你选的三观立场,一定要审题干读清楚!!!。

【1】The enemy of artists like Magritte is naïve realism—the dogged assumption that the human sensory apparatus accurately records the oneand only real world, of which the human brain can make but one accurate model.难句类型:同位语词语解释:naive a. 天真的;轻信的apparatus n.器械,器具参考译文:单纯的现实主义者站在像马格利特这样的艺术家的对立面,他们固执地认为人的感官能够精确地反映唯一的现实世界,人脑就是这其中一个准确的例子。
【2】Such an interpretation is widely taught to college students, but if it is true,Magritte went to an awful lot of trouble—carefully selecting a dress-finishpipe of particularly elegant design, making dozens of sketches of it, taking it apart to familiarize himself with its anatomy,then painting its portrait with great care and skill—just to tell us something we already knew.难句类型:复杂修饰+并列成分词语解释:ReneMagritte n. 雷内·马格利特(1898-1967,比利时超现实主义画家)lot n. 命运finish n. 后精细加工sketch n. 速写anatomy n.解剖,分析参考译文:艺术教师们往往如此解释马格利特这么做的意义;但如果真是这样,那马格利特实在是太费周折地把我们原本知道的事情复述了一遍——他精心挑选一种设计精巧的烟斗,制作了大量的烟斗速写画,把它分解了以使自己熟悉它的构造,然后非常认真地运用技巧画它的结构图。

Inequalities of gender have also existed in pastoralist societies, but they see m to have been softened by the absence of steep hierarchies of wealth in m ost communities, and also by the requirement that women acquire most of t he skills of men, including, often, their military skills. (TPO 14 Pastoralism in Ancient Inner Eurasia)托福阅读长难句句子分析本句由but表示转折形成了前后两个分句,but前分句的谓语部分是have also exist ed,but后分句的谓语动词是seem,而to have been softened是不定式作表语,by t he absence of…和by the requirement…是由and并列连接的两个方式状语,表示“这种性别的不平等性似乎已经被两个因素所弱化”。
本句最后that引导的是同位语从句,用来补充解释前面的the requirement。
词汇精记inequalities of gender表示“性别的不平等性”,其实就是“性别歧视”。
pastoralist指的是“牧民”,pastoralism指的是“畜牧”。
be softened by表示“被……所弱化。
”steep hierarchies of wealth指的是“严格的财富等级制度”。
steep的本意是“陡峭的”,比如:The hill is too steep to ride up on a bicycle. 这山太陡了,骑自行车可上不去。

[英语语言使用中的性别差异和性别歧视]性别差异和性别歧视英语作文
[英语语言使用中的性别差异和性别歧视]性别差异和性别歧视英语作文一语言使用存在的性别差异首先,从发音方面来看,男子的发音形式不如女子纯正,而且女子的语调起伏多变。
一方面是由于生理方面的差别,另一方面可能是由于女子比男人更具有地位意识,认为标准英语是与说话人的社会地位高相关联的,使用更多的标准语就说明自己向往高的地位。
女子的语调起伏多变从生理方面来讲,是由于女性感情易于外露,情绪易于波动,因此常常用一些抑扬起伏的语调来抒发自己的情感。
而社会角色要求男性成员本身具备更多理性的色彩,情绪外在化常被认为是一个男性成员心理发展尚不成熟的表现。
所以,男子的语调听上去往往显得就事论事、四平八稳;女子话语则显得活波多变、丰富多彩。
其次,在用词方面,女子喜欢用强势词语。
例如so、much、quite、vastly 等。
在色彩词的使用上,男子经常使用简单色彩词语,女性多采用复杂色彩词语。
就色彩语码而言,女性有一种天然自成的认知优势。
她们拥有一个数量更大、内容更丰富、质量更高的色彩词库。
俗语、俚语、脏话、粗话、黄色玩笑在绝大多数情况下均为男子说话的专利,女性很少使用。
第三,在句法层面上,女性喜欢用反意疑问句、委婉修饰语和语气词来表达个人观点,除了在问候语中,男性一般很少使用反意疑问句。
他们的话语率直刻板,多用祈使句。
这或许从一个侧面反映出女子英语礼貌客气、委婉含蓄的特点。
第四,在话语模式层面上,女性使用话语语气词或楔语形式,而且习惯于频频在自己的话语中插入的D’ya know what?之类的问句形式,期待对方对此做出反响,并且经常采用“This is really interesting”评述类语句引起对方的注意。
男性与女性在倾听对方说话期间,除了使用点头等肢体语言外,均使用back channeling(一种表达强化或增强语气的词),但表达的意味却有差异。
这种词语比如“uh-huh,year,really?”等等。

关键词:英语语言;性别歧视;现象;原因;消除方法 Abstract Men and women bear all kinds of responsibilities jointly in the long process of human development, such as giving rise to life and making the society develop. However, due to a variety of impacts from the public and the society, the social status of women has been at a disadvantage and the gender discrimination in daily life against women exists everywhere. Language can reflect a large number of social phenomena, and one of the most typical phenomena is sexism. Since the nineteen sixties, sexism in English language has remained a heated topic for linguists and researchers, and till these days it still attracts a lot of linguistic learners to make a study of it. Different social systems and different countries present it in different degrees. Sexism is referred to as a common social phenomenon, and of course it can be naturally reflected in language. The author makes an analysis of the roots of the phenomenon, including social historical cause, physiological and psychological factor and the influence of social factor. This paper presents the various forms of sexism in the British English language. The author describes them in detail, including the generic masculine terms, the depreciation in female language, word order, sexism in occupation and idiomatic phrases. And the paper goes into detail of the impact of the feminist movement. In the end the author summarizes the methods to eliminate the gender discrimination in the process of using the British English language. Key words: English language; sexism; phenomena; causes; solutions 1 Introduction Language, as one of the most important tools for communication, it is not only a kind of social phenomenon but also a mirror of the real world. It is obvious that more than half of human community s members are female; however, our language is centered on the male portion of the population. The bias in language leads to a linguistic sexism. According to The New Webster s Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language, sexism means: attitudes or behavior based on traditional stereotypes of social roles; discrimination or prejudice based on a person s sex, especially discrimination against women. In other word, Sexism is the belief that the members of one sex, usually women, are less intelligent or less capable than those of the other sex and are not treated equally. 以上就是我们为您准备的英式英语语言中的女性性别歧视,更多内容请点击。

The number of women directors appointed to corporateboards in the United States has increased dramatically, but the ratio of female to male directors remainslow. Although pressure to recruit women directors,(5) unlike that to employ women in the general work force,does not derive from legislation, it is nevertheless real.Although small companies were the first to havewomen directors, large corporations currently have ahigher percentage of women on their boards. When the(10) chairs of these large corporations began recruitingwomen to serve on boards, they initially sought womenwho were chief executive officers (CEO’s) of large corporations.However, such women CEO’s are still rare. Inaddition, the ideal of six CEO’s (female or male ) serving(15) on the board of each of the largest corporations is realizableonly if every CEO serves on six boards. This raisesthe specter of director over commitment and the resultantdilution of contribution. Consequently, the chairs nextsought women in business who had the equivalent of(20) CEO experience. However, since it is only recently thatlarge numbers of women have begun to rise in management,the chairs began to recruit women of high achievementoutside the business world. Many such women arewell known for their contributions in government,(25) education, and the nonprofit sector. The fact that the women from these sectors who were appointed wereoften acquaintances of the boards’chairs seems quite reasonable: chairs have always considered it importantfor directors to interact comfortably in the boardroom.30) Although many successful women from outside the business world are unknown to corporate leaders, thesewomen are particularly qualified to serve on boardsbecause of the changing nature of corporations. Today a company’s ability to be responsive to the concerns of the (35)community and the environment can influence that company’s growth and survival. Women are uniquely positioned to be responsive to some of these concerns. Although conditions have changed, it should be rememberedthat most directors of both sexes are over fifty(40) years old. Women of that generation were often encouraged to direct their attention toward efforts to improvethe community. This fact is reflected in the career developmentof most of the outstandingly successful womenof the generation now in their fifties, who currently serve(45) on corporate boards: 25 percent are in education and22 percent are in government, law, and the nonprofitsector.One organization of women directors is helping businessbecome more responsive to the changing needs of(50) society by raising the level of corporate awareness aboutsocial issues, such as problems with the economy,government regulation, the aging population, and theenvironment. This organization also serves as a resourcecenter of information on accomplished women who are(55) potential candidates for corporate boards.1. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about achievement of the “ideal”mentioned in line 14?(A) It has only recently become a possibility.(B) It would be easier to meet if more CEO’s were women(C) It is very close to being a reality for most corporate boards.(D) It might affect the quality of directors’service to corporations.(E) It would be more realizable if CEO’s had a more extensive range of business experience.2. According to the passage, the pressure to appoint women to corporate boards differs from the pressure to employ women in the work force in whichof the following ways?(A) Corporate boards are under less pressure because they have such a small number of openings.(B) Corporate boards have received less pressure from stockholders, consumers, and workers within companies to include women on their boards.(C) Corporate boards have received less pressure from the media and the public to include women on their boards.(D) Corporations have only recently been pressured to include women on their boards.(E) Corporations are not subject to statutory penalty for failing to include women on their boards.3. All of the following are examples of issues that the organization described in the last paragraph would be likely to advise corporations on EXCEPT(A) long-term inflation(B) health and safety regulations(C) retirement and pension programs(D) the energy shortage(E) how to develop new markets4. It can be inferred from the passage that, when seeking to appoint new members to a corporation’s board, the chair traditionally looked for candidates who(A) had legal and governmental experience(B) had experience dealing with community affairs(C) could work easily with other members of the board(D) were already involved in establishing policy for that corporation(E) had influential connections outside the business world5. According to the passage, which of the following is true about women outside the business world who are currently serving on corporate boards?(A) Most do not serve on more than one board.(B) A large percentage will eventually work on the staff of corporations.(C) Most were already known to the chairs of the board to which they were appointed.(D) A larger percentage are from government and law than are from the nonprofit sector.(E) Most are less than fifty years old.6. The passage suggests that corporations of the past differ from modern corporations in which of the following ways?(A) Corporations had greater input on government policies affecting the business community.(B) Corporations were less responsive to the financial needs of their employees.(C) The ability of a corporation to keep up with changing markets was not a crucial factor in its success.(D) A corporation’s effectiveness in coping with community needs was lesslikely to affect its growth and prosperity.(E) Corporations were subject to more stringent government regulations.7. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?(A) A problem is described, and then reasons why various proposed solutions succeeded or failed are discussed.(B) A problem is described, and then an advantage of resolving it is offered.(C) A problem is described, and then reasons for its continuing existence are summarized.(D) The historical origins of a problem are described, and then various measures that have successfully resolved it are discussed.(E) The causes of a problem are described, and then its effects are discussed.8. It can be inferred from the passage that factors making women uniquely valuable members of modern corporate boards would include which of the following?Ⅰ. The nature of modern corporationsⅡ. The increased number of women CEO’sⅢ.

英语四六级阅读材料之性别中立有利有弊
Pros And Cons Of Gender-Neutral ParentingThe perception that each person has a binary gender identification and our society’s insistence on perpetuating(永久的)those stereotypes is causing young people to feel ostracized(排斥的), depressed and unsure of themselves. Gender-neutral parenting can help with this.Good question. The simple answer is “no.”When a baby is born, his or her brain is virtually(事实上)identical to (同样的)brains of little ones of the opposite sex. Boys do tend to have slightly bigger brains but they also tend to be bigger, in general. Some research indicates some negligible discernible(可以忽略不计的)differences in early behavior like when baby girls tend to speak sooner than boys or girls show a slightly better attention span.So, yes, brain scans show that sex does affect the brain early in life but most of us have a mix of features that are characteristic of both the male and female sex.But, weirdly, studies suggest that girls and boys show a penchant(倾向)for playing with toys that fit their gender as early as nine months.Also, studies have shown that a kid’s interest in a toy is greatlyinfluenced by whether it is pink or blue. A pink car or a blue doll does not fit their perceptions of what they are supposed to play with.This raises questions about why and most researchers agree that it is because the child has been exposed to such toys since birth and has been rewarded for playing with those toys. In short, they have been trained to believe that certain toys are for them and others are not.If you are interested in gender-neutral parenting but are not sure what to think, read over the following pros and cons.A 2012 survey found that about a quarter of elementary school kids reported seeing gender-nonconforming(性别错乱)peers experience bullying.A saddening 2015 study brought to light that almost 100% of LGBTQ youth had gotten negative feedback for not acting appropriately “masculine” or “feminine.” These statistics are troubling because our focus on something arbitrary like gender is allowing for people to treat one another poorly.“But… aren’t boys and girls just wired differently?”Pros of gender-neutral parentingGender neutral kids are given the freedom of choice in their expression and become more creative.●Children who get to play with any toys that they like will havebroader interests and hobbies. They will not be boxed into “boy activities” and “girl activities.”●Being gender neutral can increase self-esteem because beingexactly who they are is not just permitted, but celebrated.●Gender neutral children are more likely to advocate for equality.They will have better insight into the fact that the lines that we draw amongst people in our society are arbitrary and silly.●Above all, your child is a child. If they are pushed toward pinkand frills(褶边)and encouraged to continue to dress that way, they will do so. However, that frilly pink “girl” may grow up to feel that she was misunderstood and end up with feelings of gender dysphoria(性别焦虑症).Cons of gender-neutral parenting●Some people think that a child who is raised without the conceptof gender will become puzzled about their identity when they begin to spend time around other kids. They may. However, they are being given the opportunity to develop their own identity without having to look to other kids. For example, if he or she isa homosexual(同性恋者), they will feel more comfortable withit because no arbitrary restrictions have been put on them. This brings us to our next point, however…●Some moms and dads worry that they will be pushing their childto be a homosexual but, to be frank, this thinking is backward(倒退的). There is simply no reason to believe that a child’s sexuality will be determined by the color shoes he or she wears.Boys with pink sneakers can grow up to be heterosexual(异性恋). Promise. As a matter of fact, studies have shown that 85% of gender nonconforming kids become heterosexual adults.●It is not easy for parents. It requires forethought(深谋远虑)and training your own mind to stop using pronouns(代词)like “he, she, her, and him” or to be mindful that their toys are not gendered. I think most parents would say it was worth the trouble but it is definitely a challenging choice.●There is no way of avoiding gender completely and pushingtoo hard toward gender neutrality is no better than forcing a child into a “gendered box.” If your son loves sports and blue clothes then don’t push him not to. Don’t get upset if your daughter wants a princess party.Though we still have a long way to go, today’s young people have far less stringent(严格的)ideas about gender. 56 % of “Gen Z”reports knowing someone who uses gender-neutral pronouns. Some parents today choose not to disclose their child’s sexual anatomy until that child has decided on his or her gender. Pronouns like “they, them, their” are used and some call these babies raised without gender restrictions, “theybies.” The push toward more inclusive language is happening all over the world.In France, as a matter of fact, there are people who are advocating re-shaping the language so that it is gender neutral. Because, like Spanish, French designates everything as a gender, French people are forced with every word they speak to think about gender. It frames their thinking. In our language, we can just call our friend, “a friend.” In French, you have to assign that friend a gender in order to apply the male or female noun.So, what is the takeaway(要点)with gender-neutral parenting? It is important to understand that people are people and children are children. Your child’s malleable(可塑的)brain is internalizing what he or she is being taught and, therefore, will follow along with whatever gender path you set for them (at least initially) so leaving that path wide open is probably not a bad idea. In short, let your kid be whoever your kid is and you may be thoroughly blown away bythe person that they become.。
