each of the questions from 26 to 35 [The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20 th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote] (26) In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs [In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made] (30) Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry (10) In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s [Susan B Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study](28 ) Many feminists were interested in other social issues The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law An important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the Constitution [Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs, etc to discriminate against women] (29) But women still find it hard to advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having high-level jobs Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e the household chores In the 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men [Although there is still discrimination] (33), the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted Question 26: It can be inferred from paragraph that in the 19th century, A British women did not complete their traditional supporting role B most women did not wish to have equal

to each of the questions from 71 to 80 [Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it] (71) It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and culturedare part of the same verbal complex [A person of culture has identifiableattributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music] (72) Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures [Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city] (73) The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and turns Styles change So fashions There are cultural processes [What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of
