At a party for Ms.magazine’s 40th birthday,the Canadian writer Ann Dowsett Johnston waited for an audience with Gloria Steinem,hoping to cull wisdom for her research on women and alcohol.“Alcohol?”Steinem said to Johnston.looking“dismissive.”“Alcohol is not a women’s issue.”
Steinem may have been hasty.We know that many women report drinking more often in recent decades,that they are drinking more when they do,and that the physiological impact and social meaning of it all is different for women than for men.Women are the engine of growth for the American wine market and are being arrested for drunken driving more often than before.How much alarm should be invested in those observations is up for debate in both Johnston’s book.Drink:The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol,and Her Best-Kept Secret:Why Women Drink-and How They Can Regain Control,by the American journalist Gabrielle Glaser,the second of which makes the more pointed case.
Johnston turns in part to gauzy memory to make the case that female alcohol consumption is then egative byproduct of modern complexities and the pressure for women to be “perfect.”“I don’t remember my grandmothers suffering from this syndrome,”she asserts.
“Women who raised families during the Depression,who baked and gardened and read well;who were fundamentally happy,and felt no pressure to look like stick figures.”Well.Depression-era women’s lives were more circumscribed and less weighted with the pretext of “choice,”sure.But were these women,all in all,“fundamentally happy” ?And were they less eager for a fix when they could get it?
A temptation for many trend journalists and headline writers is to see women’s higher rates of alcohol abuse and dependency as the uneasy consequence of female liberation.Glaser acknowledges that alcohol provides a form of self-medication during a time of dizzying changes in women’s lives,but she is skeptical of the notion that alcoh01 abuse is the price of too much liberation.Her concise assessment:“Women are drinking more because they can.”Indeed,whereas Johnston often casts women as the victims of institutions,Glaser seems more interested in asking why institutions aren’t serving women’s needs better.Either way,what’s at stake is how we respond to the byproducts of equality that fit less comfortably on a placard.
We may learn from the last paragraph that Glaser ________,
选项
A、believes that women are heavy drinkers
B、sees alcohol abuse as the result of liberation
C、thinks that institutions are dangerous to women
D、regards alcohol as the engine of huge changes of the times
答案
A
解析
本题为推断题。根据题干关键词定位到第四段。该段中引号里的话是格拉泽的观点,即“女人们现在喝更多酒是因为她们能喝更多”,故A项“认为女人酒量大”为正确答案。D项“认为酒精是时代巨变的动力”与该段第二句前一个分句“酒精在女性生活发生巨变的时代能起到某种自我医疗的作用”不符,故排除。B项“把酗酒看作是解放的后果”与第二句后一个分句“她不认为酗酒是女性过于解放的代价”,文中的关键词是skeptical。C项“认为体制对女人有危害”是约翰斯顿的观点,不是格拉泽的观点,故排除。
