根据伊莉斯·克拉松的观点,性别认定  ______  。
[A]对儿童的成长至关重要
[B]用模式化的期待束缚儿童发展
[C]可能会让儿童的自我认识产生混乱
[D]应该在年幼时形成,并且在整个一生的过程中都不应该发生变化
【答案】A人物观点题
【解析】本题继续考查对伊莉斯·克拉松的观点的理解。第五段中提到她强烈反对使用
“hen”这样一个词汇,这是一个中性人称代词。克拉松认为,这样的中性人称代词对于少年儿童的发展有害无益。第五段中直接引用克拉松的观点,“It is important to have your gender confirmed to you as a child.This does not limit children;it makes them confident about their identity…”,“在儿童时期就确认自己的性别至关重要。这并不会对孩子们造成限制,而是让他们确信自己的身份……大人应该让孩子们缓慢而自然地成长。成年之后,我们可以选择扩展并改变自己的性别身份。”通过这段引语,我们可以判断克拉松认为性别身份认同对于儿童来说是至关重要的,也就是说在幼年时期应该明确向儿童灌输他们是男还是女的概念,而不应该回避这个问题,回避只会造成儿童认识上的混乱,因此本题的正确答案应该选[A]。[B]、[C]都与克拉松的观点相左,[D]错在fixed一词,在年幼时形成的性别意识可以在成年后发生改变,而并不一定是一成不变的。

In the following text.some sentences have been removed.For Questions 41—45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices,which do not fit in any of the blanks.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)
  Even if we could make it impossible for people to commit crimes,should we?Or would doing so improperly deprive people of their freedom?
This may sound like a fanciful concern,but it is an increasingly real one.The new federal transportation bill,for example,authorized funding for a program that seeks to prevent the crime of drunken driving not by raising public consciousness or issuing stiffer punishments—but by making the crime practically impossible to commit.(41)______  The Dadss program is part of a trend toward what I call the“perfect prevention”of crime:depriving people of the choice to commit an offense in the first place.The federal government’s Intelligent Transportation Systems program,which is creating technology to share data among vehicles and road infrastructure like traffic lights,could make it impossible for a driver to speed or run a red light.(42)______
  Such technologies force US to reconcile two important interests.On one hand is society’s desire for safety and security.On the other hand is the individual’S right to act freely. Conventional crime prevention balances these interests by allowing individuals the freedom to commit crime,but punishing them if they do.
  The perfect prevention of crime asks US to consider exactly how far individual freedom extends.Does freedom include a“right”to drive drunk.for instance?It is hard to imagine that it does.(43)______ 
  For most familiar crimes(murder,robbery,rape,arson),the law requires that the actor have some guilty state of mind,whether it is intent,recklessness or negligence.
(44)______ 
  In such cases,using technology to prevent the crime entirely would not unduly burden individual freedom;it would simply be effective enforcement of the statute.Because there is no mental state required to be guilty of the offense,the government could require,for instance.that drug manufacturers apply a special tamper-proof coating to all pills,thus making the sale of tainted drugs practically impossible,without intruding on the thoughts of any future seller.
  But because the government must not intrude on people’s thoughts,perfect prevention is a bad fit for most offenses.(45)  ______ Even if this could be known,perhaps with the help of some sort of neurological scan,collecting such knowledge would violate an individual’s freedom of thought.
  Perfect prevention is a politically attractive approach to crime prevention,and for strict— liability crimes it is permissible and may be good policy if implemented properly.But for most offenses,the threat to individual freedom is too great to justify this approach.This is not because people have a right to commit crimes;they do not.Rather,perfect prevention threatens our right to be free in our thoughts,even when those thoughts turn to crime.
A.But there is a category of crimes that are forbidden regardless of the actor’s state of  mind:so.called strict—liability offenses.One example is the sale of tainted drugs. Another is drunken driving.
B.The Dadss program,despite its effectiveness in preventing drunk driving,is criticized as a violation of human rights because it monitors drivers’behavior and controls individual’s free will.
C.And the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of l998 has already criminalized the development of technologies that can be used to avoid copyright restrictions,making it effectively impossible for most people to illegally share certain copyrighted materials, including video games.
D.If the actor doesn’t have the guilty state of mind,and he commits crime involuntarily,in  this case,the actor will be convicted as innocent.
E.Perfect prevention of a crime like murder would require the ability to know what a  person was thinking in order to determine whether he possessed the relevant culpable  mental state.
F.The program,the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety(Dadss),is developing in  vehicle technology that automatically checks a driver’s blood—alcohol level and,if that  level is above the legal limit,prevents the car from starting.
G.But what if the government were to add a drug to the water supply that suppressed antisocial urges and thereby reduced the murder rate? This would seem like an obvious   violation of our freedom.We need a clear method of distinguishing such cases.
