1.D.从文章开头，我们可以看到本文主要讨论了现代男女性别

歧视问题，空白处前一句话说明，这场平等之战的赢家并不想浪费

珍贵的时间去欢呼。这就暗示了这场战争还未完结，顺着这个逻辑

思路，不难看到选项D是符合上下文的。

2.E.从下文“Girls，bycontrast，isderogatoryand

demeaning.”得知上文是与这句“bycontrast”的。所以对应来

说大致的意思就应该为“既然‘姑娘们’。这个称呼是贬义的，有

辱人格的，那么‘小伙子们’就是鼓舞人心的，表示友好的称

呼”，所以应选E.

3.C.本段开首用一个否认表示作者并不认为平等就是与那些

“小伙子们”并肩战斗，浴血战场。而且在字里行间也一直贯穿着

这个意思，所以最后一句也不会偏离这个语境，选项C用在这里衔

接很自然。

4.A.此处空白是段首句，而上一段作者列举了种种女性勇往直

前的工作领域，其后又用挖苦的笔调描画了苏联所谓男女平等的社

会工作的滑稽可笑的情境，由此而见，作者并不赞成女性盲目地追

求形式上的平等。而选项A意为“千方百计让男女干同样工作的社

会工程毫无意义”，即起到了承前的作用、又开启了下文。

5.F.此处为本文完毕语，前一段作者认为女性作为兵源的补

充，既是合情的，也是合理的。最后一段作为全篇，既要与上一段

照应又要回扣题目“我不会为平等而送死。”抓住。“战争”、

“平等”两个关键词，我们不难锁定选项F为正确答案。

本文作者以轻松诙谐的笔调探讨了什么是男女间真正的平等。

作者抓住军队这个大环境，用一系列的假设和举例阐述了自己的观

点，即女性应该去追求两性平等，但没有必要处处要求平等，更没

有必要单纯为了平等而平等。只有合情合理的平等才能造就合谐的

社会和心灵。
